Abstract
We report inelastic neutron scattering study of a quasi-two-dimensional S=1/2 dimer system Piperazinium Hexachlorodicuprate under hydrostatic pressure. The spin gap δ becomes softened with the increase of the hydrostatic pressure while the bandwidth of the dispersion relation is almost unaffected. The observed threefold degenerate triplet excitation under hydrostatic pressure is consistent with the theoretical prediction. At P=9.0 kbar the spin gap is reduced to δ=0.55 meV from δ=1.0 meV at ambient pressure. The results allow us to predict a soft-mode quantum phase transition in this system at Papproximately equal}20 kbar.Citation
