极化中子散射研究阻挫烧绿石\tbti的自旋密度和非共线磁化强度

Spin Density and Non-Collinear Magnetization in Frustrated Pyrochlore \tbti from Polarized Neutron Scattering

Arsen Gukasov, Huibo Cao, Isabelle Mirebeau, Pierre Bonville

摘要:

我们用局域磁化率方法对自旋液体\tbti进行了广泛的极化中子衍射研究。在[110]和[111]方向上施加磁场时,我们发现在高温下,所有的Tb矩都是共线的,并且平行于磁场。随着温度的降低,Tb矩从场方向重新定向到它们的局部各向异性轴。对于[110]场方向,在10 K下的场感生磁结构是自旋冰状的,但是具有两种类型的大小非常不同的Tb矩。对于沿[111]方向的磁场,磁结构类似于自旋冰中发现的所谓“一进三出”,不同之处在于由于磁场,所有Tb磁矩都具有沿[111]方向的附加分量。局部磁化率的温度演化清楚地表明了一个渐进的变化从Heisenberg伊辛行为的Tb时刻时,降低温度,这似乎是一个晶体场效应。

英文摘要:

We used a local susceptibility approach in extensive polarized neutron diffraction studies of the spin liquid \tbti. For a magnetic field applied along the [110] and [111] directions, we found that, at high temperature, all Tb moments are collinear and parallel to the field. With decreasing temperature, the Tb moments reorient from the field direction to their local anisotropy axes. For the [110] field direction, the field induced magnetic structure at 10 K is spin ice-like, but with two types of Tb moments of very different magnitudes. For a field along [111], the magnetic structure resembles the so-called "one in-three out" found in spin ices, with the difference that all Tb moments have an additional component along the [111] direction due to the magnetic field. The temperature evolution of the local susceptibilities clearly demonstrates a progressive change from Heisenberg to Ising behavior of the Tb moments when lowering the temperature, which appears to be a crystal field effect.
