Correlated decay of triplet excitations in the shastry-sutherland compound SrCu2 (BO3)2
(
American Physical Society
, 2014 , Article)
The temperature dependence of the gapped triplet excitations (triplons) in the 2D Shastry-Sutherland quantum magnet SrCu2(BO3)2 is studied by means of inelastic neutron scattering. The excitation amplitude rapidly decreases ...
A new modulation technique for wide-range control of output voltage in Z-source inverters
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Z-source inverter (ZSI) is recently proposed as a single-stage power conversion topology. It adds voltage boost capability for complementing the usual voltage buck operation of the traditional voltage source inverter with ...
