Crystal-field states and defect levels in candidate quantum spin ice Ce2Hf2 O7

Crystal-field states and defect levels in candidate quantum spin ice Ce2Hf2 O7

We report the synthesis of powder and single-crystal samples of cerium pyrohafnate and their characterization using neutron diffraction, thermogravimetry and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. We evaluate the amount of nonmagnetic Ce4+ defects and use this result to interpret the spectrum of crystal-ele...
