摘要:

我们研究了硅酸镧镓化合物Ba_3NbFe_3Si_2O_(14)在有序态和温度下的自旋涨落。低温磁结构被定义为一个螺旋相,其特征在于磁布拉格峰在q=(0,0,τ ~ 1/7)开始在TN=27 K之前由Marty等人报道的波动和温度依赖性的序参量的性质是一致的二维三角形反铁磁体的经典的二阶相变。我们将表明,包括有序波矢,居里-外斯温度,和自旋波的物理性质和能量尺度可以通过仅使用对称交换常数而无需Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用来解释。这是通过一组"螺旋”交换路径沿c方向施加的手性晶体结构,自然解释了磁漫散射,它显示了强大的矢量手性高达高温远高于有序温度。这说明了在该化合物中磁性和结晶手性之间的强耦合。

英文摘要:

We have investigated the spin fluctuations in the langasite compound Ba3NbFe3Si2O14 in both the ordered state and as a function of temperature. The low temperature magnetic structure is defined by a spiral phase characterized by magnetic Bragg peaks at q=(0,0,tau ~ 1/7) onset at TN=27 K as previously reported by Marty et al. The nature of the fluctuations and temperature dependence of the order parameter is consistent with a classical second order phase transition for a two dimensional triangular antiferromagnet. We will show that the physical properties and energy scales including the ordering wavevector, Curie-Weiss temperature, and the spin-waves can be explained through the use of only symmetric exchange constants without the need for the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. This is accomplished through a set of ``helical" exchange pathways along the c direction imposed by the chiral crystal structure and naturally explains the magnetic diffuse scattering which displays a strong vector chirality up to high temperatures well above the ordering temperature. This illustrates a strong coupling between magnetic and crystalline chirality in this compound.
