摘要:

研究了抗磁性Y $^{3+}$离子浓度对Ho $_{2-x}$ Y $_x$ Sn $_2$ O $_7$磁性的影响。磁化强度和比热测量表明,自旋冰基态只有微弱的影响,掺杂$x\leq 0.3$,即使在Ho $^{3+}$的晶体场发生不可忽略的变化。在这个低掺杂范围内$μ$ SR弛豫测量证据的修改在低温动力学相对于在纯自旋冰中观察到的。对于$x\to 2$,或在高温下,动力学涉及Ho $^{3+}$晶体场能级之间的波动,这引起$^{119}$ Sn核自旋-晶格弛豫速率的特征峰。在该掺杂极限下,Ho $^{3+}$磁矩的变化也表明晶场参数的变化。

英文摘要:

A study of the modifications of the magnetic properties of Ho$_{2-x}$Y$_x$Sn$_2$O$_7$ upon varying the concentration of diamagnetic Y$^{3+}$ ions is presented. Magnetization and specific heat measurements show that the Spin Ice ground-state is only weakly affected by doping for $x\leq 0.3$, even if non-negligible changes in the crystal field at Ho$^{3+}$ occur. In this low doping range $μ$SR relaxation measurements evidence a modification in the low-temperature dynamics with respect to the one observed in the pure Spin Ice. For $x\to 2$, or at high temperature, the dynamics involve fluctuations among Ho$^{3+}$ crystal field levels which give rise to a characteristic peak in $^{119}$Sn nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate. In this doping limit also the changes in Ho$^{3+}$ magnetic moment suggest a variation of the crystal field parameters.
