Abstract

AbstractWe present a 14N nuclear magnetic resonance study of a single crystal of CuBr4(C5H12N)2 consisting of weakly coupled spin‐1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic ladders. When placed in a magnetic field, such a ladder is theoretically predicted to exhibit a quantum critical Luttinger liquid (LL) behaviour in the gapless phase, i.e. between the two critical fields. Treating ladders as LLs and interaction between them as a perturbation, we are indeed able to fully account for (i) the spin dynamics accessed by measuring the spin–lattice relaxation rate $T_1^{ - 1}$, and for (ii) the phase transition to a 3D ordered phase occurring below 110 mK due to the weak interladder coupling.
