AbstractThe S = 1/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF) is a paradigmatic example of frustrated quantum magnetism. An ongoing challenge involves understanding the influence of exchange anisotropy on the collective behavior within such systems. Using inelastic neutron scattering (INS) and advanced calculation techniques, we have studied the low and high-temperature spin dynamics of Ba2La2CoTe2O12 (BLCTO): a Co2+-based Jeff = 1/2 TLAF that exhibits 120° order below TN = 3.26 K.

The implementation date for FINRA’s new, more strict expungement rules has been set for October 16, 2023. The new rules make it much harder for registered representatives to expunge negative customer-related complaints, arbitrations, and litigation. Therefore, to be grandfathered into the more friendly, existing rules, arbitrations must be filed on or before October 15, 2023, approximately forty (40) days from now.
