Spin liquid close to a quantum critical point in Na4_4Ir3_3O8_8

Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ is a candidate material for a 3-dimensional quantum spin-liquid on the hyperkagome lattice. We present thermodynamic measurements of heat capacity $C$ and thermal conductivity $\kappa$ on high quality polycrystalline samples of Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ down to $T = 500$ mK and $75$ mK, respectively. Absence of long-range magnetic order down to $T = 75$ mK strongly supports claims of a spin-liquid ground state. The constant magnetic susceptibility $\chi$ below $T \approx 25$ K and the presence of a small but finite linear-$T$ term in $C(T)$ suggest the presence of gapless spin excitations. Additionally, the magnetic Gr$\ddot{\rm{u}}$neisen ratio shows a divergence as $T \rightarrow 0$ K and a scaling behavior which clearly demonstrates that Na$_4$Ir$_3$O$_8$ is situated close to a zero-field QCP.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, PRB rapid, in pres

Relevance of the Heisenberg-Kitaev model for the honeycomb lattice iridates A_2IrO_3

Combining thermodynamic measurements with theoretical density functional and thermodynamic calculations we demonstrate that the honeycomb lattice iridates A2IrO3 (A = Na, Li) are magnetically ordered Mott insulators where the magnetism of the effective spin-orbital S = 1/2 moments can be captured by a Heisenberg-Kitaev (HK) model with Heisenberg interactions beyond nearest-neighbor exchange. Experimentally, we observe an increase of the Curie-Weiss temperature from \theta = -125 K for Na2IrO3 to \theta = -33 K for Li2IrO3, while the antiferromagnetic ordering temperature remains roughly the same T_N = 15 K for both materials. Using finite-temperature functional renormalization group calculations we show that this evolution of \theta, T_N, the frustration parameter f = \theta/T_N, and the zig-zag magnetic ordering structure suggested for both materials by density functional theory can be captured within this extended HK model. Combining our experimental and theoretical results, we estimate that Na2IrO3 is deep in the magnetically ordered regime of the HK model (\alpha \approx 0.25), while Li2IrO3 appears to be close to a spin-liquid regime (0.6 < \alpha < 0.7).Comment: Version accepted for publication in PRL.

Success Factors for e-Court Implementation at Allahabad High-Court

This paper is an attempt to study the important factors responsible for successful implementation of Electronic Court (e-Court) at Allahabad High Court India, to examine the effectiveness and efficiency of e-Court at Allahabad High Court and to conduct a feasibility analysis of replication of e-Court in lower courts of India. A qualitative case study approach was adopted comprising in-depth literature review and structured interview to conduct the study. Subsequently, NVivo 11 Pro software is used to analyze the recorded data and to identify the Critical Success Factors (CSFs). The findings of the study identified 23 CSFs for efficient and effective implementation of e-Court at Allahabad High Court. Also, feasibility analysis explored replication of e-Court in lower courts of India is possible after resolving few issues. The outcome will be helpful for efficient and effective implementation of e-Court in various other High Courts and lower courts of India as well as to enhance the effectiveness of process

Long range magnetic ordering in Na2_2IrO3_3

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the magnetic structure of the honeycomb lattice magnet Na$_2$IrO$_3$, a strong candidate for a realization of a gapless spin-liquid. Using resonant x-ray magnetic scattering at the Ir L$_3$-edge, we find 3D long range antiferromagnetic order below T$_N$=13.3 K. From the azimuthal dependence of the magnetic Bragg peak, the ordered moment is determined to be predominantly along the {\it a}-axis. Combining the experimental data with first principles calculations, we propose that the most likely spin structure is a novel "zig-zag" structure
