We report the single crystal study of the bulk magnetization and neutron scattering measurements on a quantum S=1/2 spin ladders system IPA-Cu(Cl0.95Br0.05)3with quenched disorder. In zero field, the disordered spin liquid phase is preserved as in pure IPA-CuCl3. Due to the bond randomness, a different Bose glass phase was directly observed in Hc<H<H', which separates the spin liquid phase from the unconventional Bose-Einstein condensation phase. The observed finite value of boson compressibility dM/dH and lack of field-induced three-dimensional long range order are consistent with the theoretical prediction.
We present the results of neutron diffraction studies on polycrystals of a metallic kagome lattice, Tb3Ru4Al12, reported recently to undergo reentrant magnetism, with the onset of long range antiferromagnetic order below (TN=) 22 K and spin-glass features below about 17 K. The present results reveal long-range antiferromagnetic order of an incommensurate type with the moments oriented along c-axis at all temperatures below TN. There are however notable changes in the T dependence of propagation vector along b-axis across 17 K. An observation of interest is that there is no decrease of intensit…
Tunability of the partially ordered double perovskite (PODP) and coexisting spin-glass phase in SrMn1-xWxO3 (x=0.20 to 0.40) have been studied using neutron powder diffraction (NPD), muon spin relaxation (MuSR), and magnetic susceptibility (X) measurements. Structural studies reveal that SrMn1-xWxO3 undergoes a quasi-continuous transformation from simple perovskite (Pm-3m) to PODP (P21/n) phase as x increases. Xdc(T) and Xac(T) measurements show a sharp cusp-like peak at a spin glass transition, Tg. The muon relaxation rate (λ) peaks at Tg following a critical growth, given by λ=λ(0).t-w [t=(T…
Tetragonal distorted spinel of CuMn2-xTixO4 (x = 0, 0.25 and 0.50) was prepared by solid state reaction method followed by neutron diffraction, FTIR spectroscopy, dielectric spectroscopy and magnetization measurements. The neutron diffraction and FTIR spectroscopy provide the information regarding phase formation. But, the magnetic susceptibility clearly shows the ferri-magnetic order below 76K associated with meta-magnetic state which turns to spin-glass behaviour upon Ti-substitution for Mn in CuMn2O4. In addition, the room temperature M(H) of all the spinels are described by the Arrott's pl…
Ferromagnetic -spin glass transition induced by pressure in Gd$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$
R $_2$ Mo $_2$ O $_7$化合物显示出由稀土离子R $^{3+}$的半径调谐的铁磁金属-绝缘体自旋玻璃转变。本文用同步辐射中子衍射和X射线衍射方法研究了位于相变边缘的GdPDMATHABMM Mo $_2$ O $_7$，用$^{160}$ Gd同位素样品，$μ$ SR。所有测量均在环境压力和外加压力下进行。在环境压力下，在居里温度（T $_{\rm C}$ = 70 K）以下观察到铁磁状态。在1.7 K下的有序磁矩是平行的，Gd和Mo的有序磁矩分别等于5.7（5）$μ_{\rm B}$和0.8（2）$μ_{\rm B}$。由$μ$ SR测量的弛豫速率证明了T $_{\rm C}$以下和最低温度（6.6 K）的强自旋波动。自旋重取向发生在20 K $<$ T $<$ T $_{\rm C}$范围内。铁磁态在压力下是非常不稳定的。T $_{\rm C}$急剧下降（在1.3 GPa下降至38 K），布拉格峰开始与介观铁磁相关共存。有序矩在压力下减小。在2.7GPa下，长程磁序完全破坏。在这种自旋玻璃态下，Gd-Gd自旋关联仍然是铁磁的，关联长度仅限于第四近邻，而Gd-Mo自旋关联则变为反铁磁的。三个显微探针在压力下的独特组合提供了对磁性转变的详细描述，这对进一步的理论至关重要。
Ferromagnetic - spin glass transition induced by pressure in the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore (Tb$_{1-x}$La$_x$)$_2$Mo$_2$O$_7$
本文用中子衍射和$μ$ SR研究了（Tb $_{1-x}$ La $_x$）$_2$ Mo $_2$ O $_7$高温超导体。Tb取代La使晶格膨胀，并引起从自旋玻璃状状态（{ \itshape x}=0）到非共线铁磁体（{ \itshape x}=0.2）的变化。在铁磁结构中，Tb矩的取向接近于它们的局部各向异性轴，而Mo矩的取向接近于净矩。$μ$ SR动力学弛豫速率在居里温度T $_C$处显示尖状峰，在T $^\star$ $<$ T $_C$处显示宽异常，表明局部或动力学性质的第二次转变。在压力下，长程有序被破坏，恢复到类似自旋玻璃的状态。这组数据提供了铁磁-自旋玻璃阈值区自旋关联和涨落的微观图像。
Complex magneto structural behaviour of rare rich intermetallic Tb$_3$Co is reported in this study. Below the 84K (T$_N$), it undergoes a first order magnetic transition 72K confirmed from specific heat and magnetization measurements. Detailed study using magnetization, specific heat, neuron diffraction and ac-susceptibility measurements suggests that the compound in the question possesses canted magnetic structure. Neutron diffraction reveals that Tb moments are aligned antiferromagnetically (AFM) in ab plane and ferromagnetically (FM) along c direction. This study focusses on the temperature…
When suppressing the itinerant antiferromagnetism in chromium by doping with the isostructual itinerant ferromagnet iron, a dome of spin-glass behavior emerges around a putative quantum critical point at an iron concentration $x \approx 0.15$. Here, we report a comprehensive investigation of polycrystalline samples of Fe$_{x}$Cr$_{1-x}$ in the range $0.05 \leq x \leq 0.30$ using x-ray powder diffraction, magnetization, ac susceptibility, and neutron depolarization measurements, complemented by specific heat and electrical resistivity data for $x = 0.15$. Besides antiferromagnetic ($x < 0.15$) …
Nonequilibrium low temperature phase in pyrochlore iridate Y$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$: Possibility of glass-like dynamics
几何阻挫效应和自旋轨道耦合效应共同影响着烧绿石基铱氧化物的性质。本文研究了烧绿石铱酸盐Y $_2$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$的结构、磁性、热力学和输运性质。磁化强度数据显示，在温度$T_{irr}$ $\sim$ 160 K附近出现磁不可逆性，然而，在低于$T_{irr}$的温度下没有观察到长程型铁磁有序的迹象。比热数据显示在$T_{irr}$上没有明显的异常，数据分析表明在费米能级上有相当大的态密度。随温度变化的X-射线衍射测量表明，在结构对称性没有变化到低温。另一方面，该材料显示出类似于玻璃态动力学的显著弛豫和老化行为。在这个高度绝缘的系统中的电子电荷输运被发现遵循幂律依赖与温度。该材料表现出负磁电阻效应，并用量子干涉效应解释了这一现象。
The fascinating multiple magnetic states observed in the Ni-Mn-Sn based metamagnetic shape memory alloy are addressed through a combined muon spin relaxation (muSR) and neutron powder diffraction studies. The material used in the present investigation is an off-stoichiometric alloy of nominal composition, Ni[2.04]Mn[1.4]Sn[0.56]. This prototypical alloy, similar to other members in the Ni-Mn-Sn series, orders ferromagnetically below T[CA] (= 320 K), and undergoes martensitic type structural transition at T[MS] (= 290 K), which is associated with the sudden loss of magnetization. The sample reg…
We report the comprehensive experimental results identifying the magnetic spin ordering and the magnetization dynamics of a double perovskite Pr2CoFeO6 by employing the (dc and ac) magnetization, powder neutron diffraction (NPD) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) techniques. X-ray diffraction and neutron diffraction studies revealed that Pr2CoFeO6 adopts a B-site disordered orthorhombic structure with space group Pnma. Additionally, ab initio band structure calculations performed on this system suggested an insulating anti-ferromagnetic (Fe-Fe) ground state. Magnetometry study showed…
Crystal structures and magnetic order of La{0.5+delta}A{0.5-delta}Mn{0.5+epsilon}Ru{0.5-epsilon}O{3} (A= Ca, Sr, Ba): Possible orbital glass ferromagnetic state
We report magnetic properties in the random spinel magnet CoGa2O4. Rietveld analysis of the x-ray diffraction profile for CoGa2O4 reveals that the Co and Ga ions are distributed randomly in the tetrahedral A-sites and octahedral B-sites in the cubic spinel structure. CoGa2O4 exhibits a spin-glass transition at TSG = 8.2 K that is confirmed by measurements of the dc- and ac-susceptibilities and thermoremanent magnetization (TRM) that develops below TSG. From the frequency dependence of the freezing temperature Tf for CoGa2O4, it is indicated that the relaxation time follows a Vogel-Fulcher law.…
SrTi0.5Mn0.5O3 (STMO) is a chemically disordered perovskite having random distribution of Ti and Mn over 1b site. Striking discrepancies about the structural and magnetic properties of STMO demands detailed analysis which is addressed. To explore the magnetic ground state of STMO, static and dynamic magnetic properties were studied over a broad temperature range (2-300 K). The dc, ac magnetization show a cusp like peak at Tf ~ 14 K, which exhibits field and frequency dependence. The thermoremanent magnetization is characterized by using stretched exponential function and characteristic time su…
We present a comprehensive study of the short-ranged nuclear and magnetic order in the two-dimensional spin glass, Mn$_{0.5}$Fe$_{0.5}$PS$_3$. Nuclear neutron scattering data reveal a random distribution of Mn$^{2+}$ and Fe$^{2+}$ ions within the honeycomb layers, which gives rise to a spin glass state through inducing competition between neighbouring exchange interactions, indicated in magnetic susceptibility data by a cusp at the glass transition, $T_g = 35$ K. Analysis of magnetic diffuse neutron scattering data collected for both single crystal and polycrystalline samples gives further ins…
