Crystal structure, electronic structure, and magnetic behavior of the spin-1/2 quantum magnet Na1.5VOPO4F0.5 are reported. The disorder of Na atoms leads to a sequence of structural phase transitions revealed by synchrotron x-ray powder diffraction and electron diffraction. The high-temperature second-order alpha <--> beta transition at 500 K is of the order-disorder type, whereas the low-temperature beta <--> gamma+gamma' transition around 250 K is of the first order and leads to a phase separation toward the polymorphs with long-range (gamma) and short-range (gamma') order of Na. Despite the complex structural changes, the magnetic behavior of Na1.5VOPO4F0.5 probed by magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and electron spin resonance measurements is well described by the regular frustrated square lattice model of the high-temperature alpha-polymorph. The averaged nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor couplings are J1 ~ -3.7 K and J2 ~ 6.6 K, respectively. Nuclear magnetic resonance further reveals the long-range ordering below TN = 2.6 K in low magnetic fields. Although the experimental data are consistent with the simplified square-lattice description, band structure calculations suggest that the ordering of Na atoms introduces a large number of inequivalent exchange couplings that split the square lattice into plaquettes. Additionally, the direct connection between the vanadium polyhedra induces an unusually strong interlayer coupling having effect on the transition entropy and the transition anomaly in the specific heat. Peculiar features of the low-temperature crystal structure and the relation to isostructural materials suggest Na1.5VOPO4F0.5 as a parent compound for the experimental study of tetramerized square lattices as well as frustrated square lattices with different values of spin.
Spin dependent impurity effects in the 2D frustrated magnetism of NiGa$_2$S$_4$

Possible valence-bond condensation in the frustrated cluster magnet LiZn2Mo3O8
从简单的成分中出现复杂的电子行为导致了许多物质状态的发现。在表现出几何磁阻挫的系统中发现了许多例子,这阻止了所有磁相互作用的同时满足。这种挫折产生了复杂的磁性,如手性自旋结构轨道驱动的磁性,自旋冰行为表现出狄拉克弦与磁单极,价键固体和自旋液体。在这里,我们报告的合成和表征LiZn 2 Mo 3 O 8,几何阻挫反铁磁体中的磁矩是本地化的小过渡金属簇,而不是个别离子。通过这样做,一阶Jahn-Teller不稳定性和轨道排序被阻止,允许在LiZn 2 Mo 3 O 8中的强相互作用的磁性团簇可能引起一个奇特的凝聚价键基态,让人想起所提出的共振价键态。我们的研究结果还将集群上的磁性与扩展固体中的几何磁性挫折联系起来,展示了一种新的方法,可以在寻找集体,紧急电子状态的物质时实现无与伦比的化学控制和可调性。

Pressure-induced charge orders and their coupling to magnetism in hexagonal multiferroic LuFe2O4
六方晶系LuFe_2 O_4是一种具有高电荷和自旋有序温度的CO驱动的多铁性材料。Fe 3 +/Fe 2+位置上电荷和自旋序的共存导致了新颖的磁电行为,但电荷和自旋序之间的耦合机制仍不清楚。在这里,通过调节外压,我们揭示了三个相关的自旋电荷有序相LuFe 2 O 4:i)一个中心对称的无公度三维CO亚铁磁性,ii)一个非中心对称的无公度准二维CO亚铁磁性,和iii)一个中心对称的公度CO反铁磁性。结合密度泛函理论计算的X射线单晶衍射和X射线磁性圆二色性测量结果表明,在受抑双层[Fe 2 O 4]团簇中,压力诱导压缩引起的电荷密度重新分布是导致相关自旋-电荷相变的原因. Fe-Fe键间的有效库仑作用使(1/3,1/3)阻挫CO转变为阻挫较小的(1/4,1/4)CO,从而引起亚铁磁到反铁磁的转变。我们的结果不仅阐明了LuFe 2 O 4中电荷、自旋和晶格自由度之间的耦合机制,而且提供了一种新的方法来以高度可控的方式调节自旋-电荷有序。
