The ferric pseudobrookite is a rare example of uniaxial anisotropic spin-glass insulator, depicting a multiglass behavior and magnetoelectric coupling. Here, we present Raman spectroscopy results in order to elucidate the ...

Iridates are characterized by a fascinating interplay of spin-orbit and electron-electron interactions. The honeycomb-lattice materials A(2)IrO(3) (A = Na,Li) have been proposed to realize pseudospin-1/2 Mott insulating ...

In this thesis, we will study the quantum phase transition of frustrated quantum spin models: (i) van Hemmen model ( S = 1) with transverse and anisotropic biaxial field (ii) Heisenberg model (S = 1/2 ) with competitive ...

Ising and m-vector spin-glass models are studied, in the limit of infinite-range in-teractions, through the replica method. First, the m-vector spin glass, in the presence of an external uniform magnetic field, as well as ...
