Anisotropy in the magnetic interaction and lattice-orbital coupling of single crystal Ni3TeO6

Abstract This investigation reports on anisotropy in the magnetic interaction, lattice-orbital coupling and degree of phonon softening in single crystal Ni3TeO6 (NTO) using temperature- and polarization-dependent X-ray absorption spectroscopic techniques. The magnetic field-cooled and zero-field-coo...
