摘要:

用粉末和单晶中子衍射、磁化强度和交流磁化率技术研究了一种新的氧卤化合物Co_7(TeO_3)_4Br_6的明显的磁性各向异性和复杂的磁序。磁化率的各向异性延伸到顺磁温度范围内。各向异性的一个主要来源是所涉及的八面体配位的单个Co(2+)离子的各向异性特性,在这项工作中提出的角重叠模型计算证实。在TN=34 K时,出现无公度反铁磁有序.传播矢量与温度有很强的相关性,在30 K时达到k1=(0.9458(6),0,0.6026(5))。在TC=27 K时,发生了向亚铁磁结构(k2=0)的转变。磁有序相的特征也是非常不寻常的各向异性:沿着b轴的M-H扫描显示出矩形但标准的铁磁磁滞回线,沿着其他两个主轴的M-H研究是完全可逆的,显示出非常尖锐的自旋翻转(或自旋翻转)转变,就像标准的反铁磁体(或超磁体)一样。总之,所观察到的磁现象被解释为竞争渗透系统的磁相互作用的证据,首先是单离子各向异性能量和交换相互作用。Co 7(TeO 3)4 Br 6的低对称C2/c结构中Co(2+)离子的不同配位使得交换相互作用网络本身非常复杂。磁结构中与温度相关的变化,以及铁磁分量的突然出现,归因于由多分量但未知的自旋汉密尔顿函数描述的连续自旋重新取向。

英文摘要:

Pronounced anisotropy of magnetic properties and complex magnetic order of a new oxi-halide compound Co7(TeO3)4Br6 has been investigated by powder and single crystal neutron diffraction, magnetization and ac susceptibility techniques. Anisotropy of susceptibility extends far into the paramagnetic temperature range. A principal source of anisotropy are anisotropic properties of the involved octahedrally coordinated single Co(2+) ions, as confirmed by angular-overlap-model calculations presented in this work. Incommensurate antiferromagnetic order sets in at TN=34 K. Propagation vector is strongly temperature dependent reaching k1=(0.9458(6), 0, 0.6026(5)) at 30 K. A transition to a ferrimagnetic structure with k2=0 takes place at TC=27 K. Magnetically ordered phase is characterized by very unusual anisotropy as well: while M-H scans along b-axis reveals spectacularly rectangular but otherwise standard ferromagnetic hysteresis loops, M-H studies along other two principal axes are perfectly reversible, revealing very sharp spin flop (or spin flip) transitions, like in a standard antiferromagnet (or metamagnet). Altogether, the observed magnetic phenomenology is interpreted as an evidence of competing magnetic interactions permeating the system, first of all of the single ion anisotropy energy and the exchange interactions. Different coordinations of the Co(2+)-ions involved in the low-symmetry C2/c structure of Co7(TeO3)4Br6 render the exchange-interaction network very complex by itself. Temperature dependent changes in the magnetic structure, together with an abrupt emergence of a ferromagnetic component, are ascribed to continual spin reorientations described by a multi-component, but yet unknown, spin Hamiltonian.
