Spin dynamics and Griffiths singularity in the random quantum Ising magnet PrTiNbO6

Abstract In crystalline magnets, interaction randomness is usually thought as a negative factor preventing interesting quantum phenomena to occur. However, intriguing interplay between randomness and quantumness can also leads to unique phenomena in the strongly correlated materials. Among others, t...
