Abstract
Angle-Resolved Raman (ARPR) spectroscopy is a powerful technique to probe energies and symmetry of quasi-particle excitations in condensed matter systems. Raman scattering sensitivity to the lattice, spin, charge degrees of freedom and electron-proton, and spin-phonon interactions make ARPR spectroscopy an exceptional tool for studying low-dimensional quantum magnets. Here, it is discussed the development of an automated ARPR setup coupled to the existing 14T magneto-Raman system and then apply it to investigate selected quasi-2D quantum magnets.
