摘要:

本文介绍了自旋冰烧绿石化合物$Dy_2Ti_2O_7$及其非磁性类似物$Lu_2Ti_2O_7$单晶在室温至12 K之间的变温拉曼、X射线衍射和比热研究。拉曼光谱数据显示了一个“新的”带没有预测的因素组分析的拉曼活性模式的烧绿石结构中的$Dy_2Ti_2O_7$,出现低于$T_c=$ 110 K的温度与伴随的收缩的立方晶胞体积从粉末X射线衍射分析确定。对O-$^{18}$ -同位素取代的$Dy_2Ti_2O_7$的低温拉曼实验证实了“新”模的声子起源。这些发现,在$Lu_2Ti_2O_7$中不存在,表明烧绿石$Dy_2Ti_2O_7$的室温立方晶格在$T_c$附近经历了“微妙”的结构转变。在$Dy_2Ti_2O_7$和$Lu_2Ti_2O_7$中发现了一些声子模的反常\textit{red-shift},这归因于强的声子-声子非谐相互作用.

英文摘要:

We present here temperature-dependent Raman, x-ray diffraction and specific heat studies between room temperature and 12 K on single crystals of spin-ice pyrochlore compound $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and its non-magnetic analogue $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$. Raman data show a "new" band not predicted by factor group analysis of Raman-active modes for the pyrochlore structure in $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$, appearing below a temperature of $T_c=$110 K with a concomitant contraction of the cubic unit cell volume as determined from the powder x-ray diffraction analysis. Low temperature Raman experiments on O$^{18}$-isotope substituted $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ confirm the phonon origin of the "new" mode. These findings, absent in $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$, suggest that the room temperature cubic lattice of the pyrochlore $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ undergoes a "subtle" structural transformation near $T_c$. We find anomalous \textit{red-shift} of some of the phonon modes in both the $Dy_2Ti_2O_7$ and the $Lu_2Ti_2O_7$ as the temperature decreases, which is attributed to strong phonon-phonon anharmonic interactions.
