摘要:

我们报告了蜂窝晶格磁体Na $_2$ IrO $_3$的磁结构的实验和理论研究相结合,一个强有力的候选人实现的无隙自旋液体。利用Ir L $_3$ -边的共振X射线磁散射,我们在T $_N$ =13.3 K以下发现了3D长程反铁磁有序.从磁布拉格峰的方位角依赖性,有序矩被确定为主要沿{ \it a}轴。结合实验数据和第一性原理计算,我们认为最有可能的自旋结构是一种新的“zig-zag”结构。

英文摘要:

We report a combined experimental and theoretical investigation of the magnetic structure of the honeycomb lattice magnet Na$_2$IrO$_3$, a strong candidate for a realization of a gapless spin-liquid. Using resonant x-ray magnetic scattering at the Ir L$_3$-edge, we find 3D long range antiferromagnetic order below T$_N$=13.3 K. From the azimuthal dependence of the magnetic Bragg peak, the ordered moment is determined to be predominantly along the {\it a}-axis. Combining the experimental data with first principles calculations, we propose that the most likely spin structure is a novel "zig-zag" structure.
