摘要:

用同步辐射X射线衍射方法研究了自旋-Peierls体系TiOCl的基态。我们跟踪了与二聚基态相关的结构超晶格峰随压力的演化。在Pc = 13.1(1)GPa的一级结构相变附近,沿b轴的二聚化被迅速抑制。高压相的特征在于垂直于原始自旋链方向的无公度电荷密度波。这些结果表明电子基态的对称性发生了根本的变化,表明主要相互作用发生了显著的变化。

英文摘要:

The ground state of the spin-Peierls system TiOCl was probed using synchrotron x-ray diffraction on a single-crystal sample at T = 6 K. We tracked the evolution of the structural superlattice peaks associated with the dimerized ground state as a function of pressure. The dimerization along the b axis is rapidly suppressed in the vicinity of a first-order structural phase transition at Pc = 13.1(1) GPa. The high-pressure phase is characterized by an incommensurate charge density wave perpendicular to the original spin chain direction. These results show that the electronic ground state undergoes a fundamental change in symmetry, indicating a significant change in the principal interactions.
