摘要:

利用热容和磁矩测量方法研究了自旋阻挫二聚体Ba_3Mn_2O_8在0 ~ 18 T磁场范围内的各向异性温度场相图。对于沿c轴取向的场,在此场范围内发现单个磁有序相,而对于沿a轴取向的场,观察到两个不同的相。目前的测量揭示了一个令人惊讶的非单调演变的相图作为磁场旋转的[001]-[100]平面。的临界场(HC 1),标志着关闭的自旋间隙的角度依赖性可以定量占使用最小的自旋哈密顿量,包括最近的和下一个最近的Mn离子之间的超交换,塞曼能量和单离子各向异性。该哈密顿量还预测了场在a-c平面中旋转时两个有序态之间的过渡的非单调演化。然而,所观察到的效果被发现是显着更大的幅度,这意味着要么这个最小的自旋哈密顿是不完整的,或者磁有序状态有一个稍微不同的结构比以前提出的。

英文摘要:

Heat capacity and magnetic torque measurements are used to probe the anisotropic temperature-field phase diagram of the frustrated spin dimer compound Ba3Mn2O8 in the field range from 0T to 18T. For fields oriented along the c axis a single magnetically ordered phase is found in this field range, whereas for fields oriented along the a axis two distinct phases are observed. The present measurements reveal a surprising non-monotonic evolution of the phase diagram as the magnetic field is rotated in the [001]-[100] plane. The angle dependence of the critical field (Hc1) that marks the closing of the spin gap can be quantitatively accounted for using a minimal spin Hamiltonian comprising superexchange between nearest and next nearest Mn ions, the Zeeman energy and single ion anisotropy. This Hamiltonian also predicts a non-monotonic evolution of the transition between the two ordered states as the field is rotated in the a-c plane. However, the observed effect is found to be significantly larger in magnitude, implying that either this minimal spin Hamiltonian is incomplete or that the magnetically ordered states have a slightly different structure than previously proposed.
