    Abstract

    We present inelastic neutron-scattering experiments on the S=1/2 frustrated gapped quantum magnet piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate (PHCC) under applied hydrostatic pressure. These results show that at 9 kbar the magnetic triplet excitations in the system are gapless, contrary to what was previously reported. Our results are in agreement with recent muon-spin relaxation experiments which found magnetic order above a quantum-critical point at 4.3 kbar. We show that the changes in the excitation spectrum can be primarily attributed to the change in a single exchange pathway.
