不存在的夹点和涌现的团簇:烧绿石海森堡反铁磁体中的进一步近邻相互作用

Absent pinch points and emergent clusters: further neighbour interactions in the pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet

P. H. Conlon, J. T. Chalker

摘要:

我们讨论的起源自旋相关性中子散射实验中观察到的顺磁相的一些挫折尖晶石化合物,最显着的ZnCr 2 O 4。这些相关性令人震惊,原因有二。首先,它们被解释为弱相互作用的六边形自旋簇形成的证据。其次,它们与最近邻海森堡烧绿石反铁磁体的计算结果非常不同,其中库仑相位相关产生尖锐的散射特征,称为夹点。使用大- $n$计算和蒙特卡罗模拟,我们表明,非常弱的进一步邻居交换相互作用可以占两个明显的形成集群和抑制的夹点。

英文摘要:

We discuss the origin of spin correlations observed in neutron scattering experiments on the paramagnetic phase of a number of frustrated spinel compounds, most notably ZnCr2O4. These correlations are striking for two reasons. First, they have been interpreted as evidence for the formation of weakly interacting hexagonal clusters of spins. Second, they are very different from those calculated for the nearest neighbour Heisenberg pyrochlore antiferromagnet, in which Coulomb phase correlations generate sharp scattering features known as pinch points. Using large-$n$ calculations and Monte Carlo simulations, we show that very weak further neighbour exchange interactions can account for both the apparent formation of clusters and the suppression of pinch points.
