摘要:

我们测量了零磁场中几何阻挫烧绿石海森堡反铁磁体Gd_2Sn_2O_7的低温比热。发现比热指数下降到约350 mK以下。这提供了一个有间隙的自旋波谱的证据,由于单离子效应和长程偶极相互作用导致的各向异性。数据很好地拟合线性自旋波理论,排除了非常规的低能量磁激发在这个系统中,并允许在这种材料中的相关交换相互作用的确定。

英文摘要:

We have measured the low-temperature specific heat of the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet Gd2Sn2O7 in zero magnetic field. The specific heat is found to drop exponentially below approximately 350 mK. This provides evidence for a gapped spin-wave spectrum due to an anisotropy resulting from single ion effects and long-range dipolar interactions. The data are well fitted by linear spin-wave theory, ruling out unconventional low energy magnetic excitations in this system, and allowing a determination of the pertinent exchange interactions in this material.
