Pulsed spallation neutron spectroscopy of low dimensional magnets: past, present, and future
Abstract
The early 1990s saw the first useful application of pulsed neutron spectroscopy to the study of excitations in low dimensional magnetic systems, with Roger Cowley as a key participant in important early experiments. Since that time the technique has blossomed as a powerful tool utilizing vastly improved neutron instrumentation coupled with more powerful pulsed sources. In this work, we review representative experiments illustrating some of the fascinating physics that has been revealed in quasi-one and two dimensional systems.
