We have investigated the electron spin resonance (ESR) on single crystals of BaCu2Ge2O7 at temperatures between 300 and 2 K and in a large frequency band, 9.6–134 GHz, in order to test the predictions of a recent theory, proposed by Oshikawa and A...

By means of Raman scattering we have observed the appearance of the folded phonon modes and the two-magnetic-excitation bound state under high pressures in 3.5% Mg-doped CuGeO3 crystals. The spin-Peierls (SP) gap mode is also observed. These facts...
A new spin-ladder family material BiCu2VO6 is studied by means of magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity and neutron inelastic-scattering measurements on a powder sample. Singlet ground state and finite spin-gap are confirmed by thermal-activated–...
