摘要:

我们报告的非弹性中子散射测量的目的是调查的起源的窄隙半导体FeSb 2的温度诱导的顺磁性。我们发现,能量高达60毫电子伏,在4.2 K,300 K和550 K的温度下的非弹性响应基本上是一致的晶格声子激发的散射。我们没有观察到一个定义明确的磁峰对应的激发从非磁性S = 0单重态基态的磁性多重态的局域自旋图片的证据。我们的数据建立了S_{eff} ^2 < 0.25的局域自旋涨落的定量极限。然而,在15毫电子伏至35毫电子伏的能量范围内的广泛的磁散射连续不排除我们的数据。我们的研究结果作出描述的本地化Fe自旋不太可能,并建议,巡游电子的顺磁磁化率是在起源的温度诱导磁性FeSb 2。

英文摘要:

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements aimed at investigating the origin of the temperature-induced paramagnetism in the narrow-gap semiconductor FeSb2. We find that inelastic response for energies up to 60 meV and at temperatures 4.2 K, 300 K and 550 K is essentially consistent with the scattering by lattice phonon excitations. We observe no evidence for a well-defined magnetic peak corresponding to the excitation from the non-magnetic S = 0 singlet ground state to a state of magnetic multiplet in the localized spin picture. Our data establish the quantitative limit of S_{eff}^2 < 0.25 on the fluctuating local spin. However, a broad magnetic scattering continuum in the 15 meV to 35 meV energy range is not ruled out by our data. Our findings make description in terms of the localized Fe spins unlikely and suggest that paramagnetic susceptibility of itinerant electrons is at the origin of the temperature-induced magnetism in FeSb2.
