Figure 2: Crystal electric field analysis of inelastic neutron scattering and susceptibility.

From: Quantum fluctuations in spin-ice-like Pr2Zr2O7

Figure 2

Main panel: magnetic excitation spectrum obtained by combining T=7.8 K data for two incident beam energies: Ei=40 meV and Ei=120 meV. The blue dashed line denotes fitted polynomial backgrounds. The red solid line is the calculated best fit. Inset: temperature dependence of the inverse magnetic susceptibility. The red solid line in the inset was calculated using the same crystal field parameters as used to account for the neutron scattering data (Supplementary Tables S3 and S4). Details are provided in the Supplementary Note 2.
