摘要:

给出了三维超原子序数化合物Gd $_{3}$ Ga $_{5}$ O $_{12}$(GGG)低温磁态的第一次中子非弹性散射结果. GGG通常被归类为具有连续连接状态的流形的强受挫系统。然而,与在类自旋液体基态之上的连续无隙激发的预期相反,我们的结果揭示了在0.06 K下在0.04(1),0.12(2)和0.58(3)meV处发现的三种不同的非弹性模式。的非弹性模式可以归因于磁基态的最低和最高的能量激发显示二聚短程反铁磁相关的空间依赖性指示。短程相关,让人想起自旋液体般的秩序,是静态的仪器分辨率(50 $μ$ eV)内,并代表82%的光谱重量。Petrenko等人在\cite {Petrenko 1998}中首次观察到的较长范围的相关性在弹性截面内低于0.14 K时发展。短程的静态相关和动态成分的生存高温,最近邻交换相互作用。我们的研究结果表明,一个三维hyperkagomé化合物的基态明显不同于它的挫对应物的烧绿石晶格,并揭示了一个并列的自旋液体秩序和强大的二聚耦合。

英文摘要:

We present the first neutron inelastic scattering results on the low temperature magnetic state of the three dimensional hyperkagomé compound Gd$_{3}$Ga$_{5}$O$_{12}$ (GGG). GGG is often classified as a strongly frustrated system with a manifold of continuously connected states. However, in contrast to the expectation of a continuum of gap-less excitations above a spin liquid-like ground state our results reveal three distinct inelastic modes found at 0.04(1), 0.12(2) an 0.58(3) meV at 0.06 K. The inelastic modes can be attributed to the magnetic ground state with the lowest and highest energy excitations showing spatial dependencies indicative of dimerized short range antiferromagnetic correlations. Short range correlations, reminiscent of spin liquid-like order, are static within the instrumental resolution (50 $μ$eV) and represent 82% of the spectral weight. Longer range correlations, first observed by Petrenko, et al.\cite{Petrenko1998, develop below 0.14 ~K within the elastic cross section. The short range static correlations and dynamic components survive to high temperatures, comparable to the nearest neighbor exchange interactions. Our results suggest that the ground state of a three dimensional hyperkagomé compound differs distinctly from its frustrated counterparts on a pyrochlore lattice and reveals a juxtaposition of spin liquid order and strong dimerised coupling.
