摘要:

利用中子衍射和高分辨中子散射研究了Tb $_2$ Sn $_2$ O $_7$。在0.1 K,我们观察到的短程磁关联的典型规模为4,接近Tb $^{3+}$离子之间的近邻距离。%(3.686 Å),这种短程有序分别在18 Å和190 Å尺度下与铁磁相关性和长程自旋冰有序共存。自旋动力学进行了研究,在一个时间尺度下降到10 $^{-9}$ s,能量分辨实验上的背散射光谱仪。我们观察到冻结的自旋动力学的所有长度尺度,与强烈放缓的自旋波动时,长程序定居。我们讨论的自旋涨落保留在基态的μ子光谱与以前的数据进行比较。

英文摘要:

We have studied magnetically frustrated Tb$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ by neutron diffraction and high resolution energy-resolved neutron scattering. At 0.1 K, we observe short range magnetic correlations with a typical scale of 4 Å, close to the near neighbor distance between Tb$^{3+}$ ions. %(3.686 Å), This short range order coexists with ferromagnetic correlations and long range spin ice order at the scales of 18 and 190 Å, respectively. Spin dynamics was investigated at a time scale down to 10$^{-9}$s, by energy-resolved experiments on a backscattering spectrometer. We observe a freezing of the spin dynamics for all length-scales, with a strong slowing down of the spin fluctuations when long range order settles in. We discuss the spin fluctuations remaining in the ground state in comparison with previous data obtained by muon spectroscopy.
