摘要:

含有代表具有弱磁耦合常数的简单模型自旋系统的磁性子系统的化合物是测试接近量子相变的一般行为的理论预测的理想候选者。本文测量了自旋1/2链化合物二硝酸吡嗪铜Cu(C $_4$ H $_4$ N $_2$)(NO $_3$)$_2$的热膨胀和磁致伸缩。特别令人感兴趣的是低温热膨胀接近饱和场$H_c \simeq 13.9 \mathrm{T}$,它定义了一个量子相变从无带隙的Luttinger液体状态的完全饱和状态与有限的激发间隙。我们观察到不同基态的热膨胀的符号变化,并且在量子临界点$H_c$处,低温膨胀接近$1/\sqrt{T}$发散。因此,我们的数据非常符合预期的量子临界行为。

英文摘要:

Compounds containing magnetic subsystems representing simple model spin systems with weak magnetic coupling constants are ideal candidates to test theoretical predictions for the generic behavior close to quantum phase transitions. We present measurements of the thermal expansion and magnetostriction of the spin-1/2-chain compound copper pyrazine dinitrate Cu(C$_4$H$_4$N$_2$)(NO$_3$)$_2$. Of particular interest is the low-temperature thermal expansion close to the saturation field $H_c \simeq 13.9 \mathrm{T}$, which defines a quantum phase transition from the gapless Luttinger liquid state to the fully saturated state with a finite excitation gap. We observe a sign change of the thermal expansion for the different ground states, and at the quantum critical point $H_c$ the low-temperature expansion approaches a $1/\sqrt{T}$ divergence. Thus, our data agree very well with the expected quantum critical behaviour.
