Abstract

Experiments on CuPzN were performed, providing evidence for an extended critical state in a quantum magnet. Detailed mapping of the spin excitation spectrum in the spin-1/2 LCHAFM verified the long-standing predictions based on the Bethe ansatz of a field driven and critical incommensurate state.
