Realization of Bose-Einstein condensation of dilute magnons in TlCuCl$_3$DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.5868 Abstract: The recent observation [Oosawa et al. J. Phys. : Condens. Matter {\bf 11}, 265 (1999)] of the field-induced N\'{e}el ordering in a spin-gap magnetic compound TlCuCl$_3$ is interpreted as a Bose-Einstein Condensation of magnons. A mean-field calculation based on this picture is shown to describe well the temperature dependence of the magnetization. The present system opens a new area for studying Bose-Einstein condensation of thermodynamically large number of particles in a grand-canonical ensemble.
