Abstract
We report inelastic neutron scattering study of a quasi-two-dimensional dimer system piperazinium hexachlorodicuprate under hydrostatic pressure. The spin gap becomes softened with the increase of the hydrostatic pressure up to . The observed threefold degenerate triplet excitation at is consistent with the theoretical prediction and the bandwidth of the dispersion relation is unaffected within the experimental uncertainty. At the spin gap is reduced to from at ambient pressure.
