IN5

Disk chopper time-of-flight spectrometer

A polymer under pressure

The experiment was performed on the upgraded IN5 multi-chopper spectrometer using a dilution fridge (T = 45mK) and a cryomagnet with magnetic fields up to 1 Tesla. It allowed us to completely elucidate the mechanism leading to this zero-field split ground state.
