Abstract:
An angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) study is reported on a Mott insulator NiGa2S4 in which Ni2+ (S=1) ions form a triangular lattice and the Ni spins do not order even in its ground state. The first ARPES study on the two-dimensional spin-disordered system shows that low-energy hole dynamics at high temperatures is characterized by wave vectors Q(E) which are different from wave vectors Q(M) dominating low-energy spin excitations at low temperatures. The unexpected difference between Q(E) and Q(M) is deeply related to charge fluctuation across the Mott gap in the frustrated lattice and is a key issue to understand the spin-disordered ground states in Mott insulators.

Diamagnetism
Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets.
