摘要:

我们报告了“填充自旋冰”材料Ho 2 TiO 5(即,Ho 2(Ti1.33Ho0.67)O6.67),比较了两种不同合成路线的样品。中子粉末衍射和电子衍射表明,先前报道的缺陷萤石相具有短程烧绿石有序,在该结构域中Ho和Ho/Ti亚晶格是不同的。相比之下,通过浮区法制备的样品具有这些亚晶格的长程有序。尽管在晶体结构上的差异,两个版本的Ho 2 TiO 5显示类似的磁性。场依赖的磁化强度和测量恢复熵,然而,显示两种形式之间的差异,这表明填充的pyrophilares的磁特性取决于当地的结构。

英文摘要:

We report a structural and thermodynamic study of the "stuffed spin ice" material Ho2TiO5 (i.e., Ho2(Ti1.33Ho0.67)O6.67), comparing samples synthesized through two different routes. Neutron powder diffraction and electron diffraction reveal that the previously reported defect fluorite phase has short-range pyrochlore ordering, in that there are domains in which the Ho and Ho/Ti sublattices are distinct. By contrast, a sample prepared through a floating zone method has long range ordering of these sublattices. Despite the differences in crystal structures, the two versions of Ho2TiO5 display similar magnetic susceptibilities. Field dependent magnetization and measured recovered entropies, however, show a difference between the two forms, suggesting that the magnetic properties of the stuffed pyrochlores depend on the local structure.
