Abstract
Low-dimensional and frustrated magnetic systems often showinteresting quantum phenomena. The use of large moments such asS = 5/2 within such materials is uncommon, partly due to the evidence thatthe large manifold of states associated with these centres results inpseudo-classical behaviour. Here we report on the inelastic neutron scattering ofMn2(OD)2(C4O4), a well-isolated chain with next nearest neighbour interactions. We observe amagnetic excitation spectrum below 30 K whose characteristics resemble thoseof quantum spin singlets. Inelastic neutron scattering from a powdered sampleis shown to yield a great deal of information about the nature of these effects.
