Abstract

We present high-resolution measurements of the c(star)-axis thermal expansion and magnetostriction of piperidinium copper bromide (C5H12N)(2)CuBr4. The experimental data at low temperatures are well accounted for by a two-leg spin-ladder Hamiltonian. The thermal expansion shows a complex behavior with various sign changes and approaches a 1 root T divergence at the critical fields. All low-temperature features are semiquantitatively explained within a free-fermion model; full quantitative agreement is obtained with quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
