Close Proximity to a Quantum Phase Transition in TmZn_{2}GaO_{5}.
Journal article Physical review letters · June 2026 TmZn_{2}GaO_{5} is a newly synthesized triangular lattice magnet that exhibits a unique quantum phase characterized by strong Ising anisotropy, a pseudodoublet crystal electric field ground state, and a low-energy gapped excitation at the K point. Unlike i ... Full text CiteCoupled phonons–crystal field excitations and phonon anomalies in the triangular dipolar magnet
