- We report resonant x-ray scattering data of the orbital and magnetic ordering at low temperatures at the Mn L-2,L-3 edges in La0.5Sr1.5MnO4. The orderings display complex energy features close to the Mn absorption edges. Systematic modeling with atomic multiplet crystal field calculations was used to extract meaningful information regarding the interplay of spin, orbital, and Jahn-Teller order. These calculations provide a good general agreement with the observed energy dependence of the scattered intensity for a dominant orbital ordering of the d(x)(2)-z(2)/d(y)(2)-z(2) type. In addition, the origins of various spectral features are identified. The temperature dependence of the orbital and magnetic ordering was measured and suggests a strong interplay between the magnetic and orbital order parameters.

- The low-energy electronic structure of the J(eff) = 1/2 spin-orbit insulator Sr3Ir2O7 has been studied by means of angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. A comparison of the results for bilayer Sr3Ir2O7 with available literature data for the related single-layer compound Sr2IrO4 reveals qualitative similarities and similar J(eff) = 1/2 bandwidths for the two materials, but also pronounced differences in the distribution of the spectral weight. In particular, photoemission from the J(eff) = 1/2 states appears to be suppressed. Yet, it is found that the Sr3Ir2O7 data are in overall better agreement with band-structure calculations than the data for Sr2IrO4.

- Determining the fate of the Pauling entropy in the classical spin ice material Dy2Ti2O7 with respect to the third law of thermodynamics has become an important test case for understanding the existence and stability of ice-rule states in general. The standard model of spin ice-the dipolar spin ice model-predicts an ordering transition at T approximate to 0.15 K, but recent experiments by Pomaranski et al. suggest an entropy recovery over long timescales at temperatures as high as 0.5 K, much too high to be compatible with the theory. Using neutron scattering and specific heat measurements at low temperatures and with long timescales ( 0.35 K/10(6) s and 0.5 K/10(5) s, respectively) on several isotopically enriched samples, we find no evidence of a reduction of ice-rule correlations or spin entropy. High-resolution simulations of the neutron structure factor show that the spin correlations remain well described by the dipolar spin ice model at all temperatures. Furthermore, by careful consideration of hyperfine contributions, we conclude that the original entropy measurements of Ramirez et al. are, after all, essentially correct: The short-time relaxation method used in that study gives a reasonably accurate estimate of the equilibrium spin ice entropy due to a cancellation of contributions.

Tuning order-by-disorder multiferroicity in CuO by doping

- The high Curie temperature multiferroic compound CuO has a quasidegenerate magnetic ground state that makes it prone to manipulation by the so-called "order-by-disorder" mechanism. First principle computations supplemented with Monte Carlo simulations and experiments show that isovalent doping allows us to stabilize the multiferroic phase in nonferroelectric regions of the pristine material phase diagram with experiments reaching a 250% widening of the ferroelectric temperature window with 5% of Zn doping. Our results allow us to validate the importance of a quasidegenerate ground state on promoting multiferroicity on CuO at high temperatures and open a path to the material engineering of multiferroic materials. In addition we present a complete explanation of the CuO phase diagram and a computation on the incommensurability in excellent agreement with experiment without free parameters.
