摘要:

用低温核磁共振(NMR)研究了尖晶石型氧化物MnCr ${}_2$ O ${}_4$的磁性离子自旋的倾斜角和涨落,该氧化物具有低于$T_C$的共线亚铁磁有序和低于$T_s < T_C$的亚铁磁螺旋有序.与以前的报道相反,只有一个自旋倾斜角的Cr离子观察。在液态He温度下获得的亚铁磁螺旋中Mn和Cr离子的自旋倾斜角分别为$43\,^{\circ}$和$110\,^{\circ}$。低温下核自旋-自旋弛豫由Suhl-Nakamura相互作用决定,但弛豫速率$T_2^{-1}$随着温度的接近而迅速增加。这表明,随着温度的升高,螺旋分量的波动变得更快,但不足以在亚铁磁相中的核自旋进动的时间尺度上给核留下平均超精细场,其数量级为$10^{-8}$ s。在不同温度下测得的螺旋体积分数表明,在螺旋顺序的转变温度以下,共线和螺旋亚铁磁相混合。在体积分数的温度滞后意味着这种转变具有一阶特性。

英文摘要:

The canting angles and fluctuation of the magnetic ion spins of spinel oxide MnCr${}_2$O${}_4$ were studied by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) at low temperatures, which has a collinear ferrimagnetic order below $T_C$ and a ferrimagnetic spiral order below $T_s < T_C$. Contrary to previous reports, only one spin canting angle of Cr ions was observed. The spin canting angles of Mn and Cr ions in the ferrimagnetic spiral obtained at a liquid-He temperature were $43\,^{\circ}$ and $110\,^{\circ}$, respectively. The nuclear spin-spin relaxation was determined by the Suhl-Nakamura interaction at low temperatures but the relaxation rate $T_2^{-1}$ increases rapidly as the temperature approaches $T_s$. This indicates that the fluctuation of the spiral component becomes faster as the temperature increases but not fast enough to leave an averaged hyperfine field to nuclei in the time scale of nuclear spin precession in the ferrimagnetic phase, which is on the order of $10^{-8}$ s. The spiral volume fraction measured for various temperatures reveals that the collinear and the spiral ferrimagnetic phases are mixed below the transition temperature of the spiral order. The temperature hysteresis in the volume fraction implies that this transition has first-order characteristics.
