THz-range free-electron laser ESR spectroscopy: techniques and applications in high magnetic fields

The successful use of picosecond-pulse free-electron-laser (FEL) radiation for the continuous-wave THz-range electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy has been demonstrated. The combination of two linac-based FELs (covering the wavelength range of 4 - 250 $μ$m) with pulsed magnetic fields up to 70 T allows for multi-frequency ESR spectroscopy in a frequency range of 1.2 - 75 THz with a spectral resolution better than 1%. The performance of the spectrometer is illustrated with ESR spectra obtained in the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and the low-dimensional organic material (C$_6$H$_9$N$_2$)CuCl$_3$.

Magnetic structure of RuSr$_2$GdCu$_2$O$_8$ determined by resonant x-ray diffraction

X-ray diffraction with photon energies near the Ru L$_2$-absorption edge was used to detect resonant reflections characteristic of a G-type superstructure in RuSr$_2$GdCu$_2$O$_8$ single crystals. A polarization analysis confirms that these reflections are due to magnetic order of Ru moments, and the azimuthal-angle dependence of the scattering amplitude reveals that the moments lie along a low-symmetry axis with substantial components parallel and perpendicular to the RuO$_2$ layers. Complemented by susceptibility data and a symmetry analysis of the magnetic structure, these results reconcile many of the apparently contradictory findings reported in the literature.
