摘要:

本文报道了在$[110]$方向施加磁场的情况下,对自旋液体烧绿石Tb_2Ti_2O_7单晶的中子衍射进行了分析。这样的微扰已经被证明可以破坏自旋液体基态并诱导出长程序,尽管有序态的性质还没有立即确定。最近,有人提出,有序状态的特点是自旋冰的相关性,表明在这种材料中出现的铁磁趋势,尽管大的负居里-外斯常数。在这里,我们认为,而不是由$Q \neq 0$相关性,出现强反铁磁性或磁弹性变形的晶体的有序状态。与以前的报告相比,我们没有观察到在高场限的重入行为的证据。有序状态的极端敏感性的对齐所施加的字段建议占这些差异。

英文摘要:

We report an analysis of neutron diffraction from single crystals of the spin-liquid pyrochlore Tb2Ti2O7 under the application of magnetic fields along the crystallographic $[110]$ direction. Such a perturbation has been shown to destroy the spin liquid ground state and induce long-range order, although the nature of the ordered state was not immediately determined. Recently, it has been proposed that the ordered state is characterized by spin-ice-like correlations, evincing an emergent ferromagnetic tendency in this material despite the large negative Curie-Weiss constant. Here, we argue instead that the ordered state is dominated by $Q \neq 0$ correlations that emerge either from strong antiferromagnetism or magnetoelastic distortion of the crystal. In contrast to previous reports, we observe no evidence for re-entrant behaviour in the high field limit. Extreme sensitivity of the ordered state to the alignment of the applied field is suggested to account for these discrepancies.
