Crystallization of spin superlattices with pressure and field in the layered magnet SrCu2(BO3)2
Spin 1/2 dimer systems in an external magnetic field behave as a lattice gas of hard-core bosons, and can undergo condensation. Here the authors show in SrCu2(BO3)2that new fractionally crystallized states are not only possible, but also tuneable with hydrostatic pressure.
