Bose-Einstein Condensation in Magnetic Spin SystemsI will review Bose-Einstein condensation in quantum magnets. In these materials a field-induced quantum phase transition to XY antiferromagnetic order can be mapped onto Bose-Einstein Condensation. This gives us the opportunity to study BEC in the thermodynamic limit, as well … Continue reading |

The Seebeck coefficient in oxides: the example of misfits and related compoundsThermoelectric materials can be used to generate electricity directly from waste heat, but the efficiency of thermoelectric devices is small and only niche applications are developed today. The search for thermoelectric materials with improved properties is thus very active. To … Continue reading |

Charge dynamics in CuGeO3: a combined RIXS and EELS studyModel compounds of the high temperature superconductors (HTCS) are considered of big interest for the understanding of superconductivity but also for their fascinating, tunable magnetic and electronic properties. Thanks to the low dimensionality, these model systems allow for a thorough … Continue reading |

Antiferroquadrupolar resonance mode in CeB$_6$ revealed by inelastic neutron scattering in zero magnetic fieldSince decades, rare-earth hexaborides are famous for their anomalously low work functions, making them ideal materials for electron-emitting cathodes. Nevertheless, fundamental understanding of their many unusual physical properties still remains hazy. The heavy-fermion metal CeB$_6$ stands out as the only … Continue reading |

Ground state and the low-energy electronic structure of NiO and in UPd2Al3NiO and UPd2Al3 are considered as prototype compounds with very strong electron correlations, not well theoretically described so far. We have consistently described properties of NiO, reconciling its insulating ground state and a strong (antiferro-)magnetism with TN of 525 K. … Continue reading |

Electron spin resonance of some dense strongly correlated electron systemsOne of the most important problems in condensed matter physics involves the microscopic understanding of how localized electrons at high temperatures turn into itinerant heavy quasi-particles in a low temperature metallic state. The fundamental mechanism of this evolution lies at … Continue reading |
