Ultrahigh-resolution neutron spectroscopy of low-energy spin dynamics in UGe2
2019
Studying the prototypical
ferromagnetic superconductorUGe$_2$ we demonstrate the potential of the Modulated IntEnsity by Zero Effort (MIEZE) technique---a novel
neutron spectroscopymethod with ultra-high energy resolution of at least 1~$\mu$eV---for the study of quantum matter. We reveal purely longitudinal spin fluctuations in UGe$_2$ with a dual nature arising from $5f$ electrons that are hybridized with the conduction electrons. Local spin fluctuations are perfectly described by the Ising
universality classin three dimensions, whereas itinerant spin fluctuations occur over length scales comparable to the
superconducting coherence length, showing that MIEZE is able to spectroscopically disentangle the complex low-energy behavior characteristic of quantum materials.
