摘要:

利用中子粉末衍射和蒙特卡罗模拟,我们表明,自旋液体制度出现在$所有成分的金刚石晶格反铁磁体Co(Al 1-xCox)2 O 4。由于第二近邻交换耦合J2的挫折引起的自旋液体制度,逐渐取代反铁磁共线长程序(k=0)在低温下。在八面体B-位中由Co 3+取代Al 3+后,自旋液体制度所占据的温度范围变窄,TN增加。为了解释实验观测,我们认为磁各向异性D或第三近邻交换耦合J3作为简并破坏扰动。我们的结论是,Co(Al 1-xCox)2 O 4是低于理论临界点J2/J1=1/8,磁各向异性有助于选择一个共线的长程有序基态,它变得更稳定,随着x的增加,由于更高的效率O-Co 3 +-O相比,O-Al 3 +-O的相互作用路径。

英文摘要:

Using neutron powder diffraction and Monte-Carlo simulations we show that a spin-liquid regime emerges at $all compositions in the diamond-lattice antiferromagnets Co(Al1-xCox)2O4. This spin-liquid regime induced by frustration due to the second-neighbour exchange coupling J2, is gradually superseded by antiferromagnetic collinear long-range order (k=0) at low temperatures. Upon substitution of Al3+ by Co3+ in the octahedral B-site the temperature range occupied by the spin-liquid regime narrows and TN increases. To explain the experimental observations we considered magnetic anisotropy D or third-neighbour exchange coupling J3 as degeneracy-breaking perturbations. We conclude that Co(Al1-xCox)2O4 is below the theoretical critical point J2/J1=1/8, and that magnetic anisotropy assists in selecting a collinear long-range ordered ground state, which becomes more stable with increasing x due to a higher efficiency of O-Co3+-O as an interaction path compared to O-Al3+-O.
