Gd $_2$ CuO $_4$的弱铁磁性和磁相变

Weak ferromagnetism and magnetic phase transitions in Gd$_2$CuO$_4$

P. J. Brown, T. Chatterji

摘要:

用极化中子研究了低磁场下\gdc的磁结构和相变。这些实验得到了零场非极化中子积分强度测量的补充。在4-20 K温度范围内,用磁场$H = 0.05$、0.10和0.5 T测量了极化中子翻转比。这些都使我们能够推断出,反常的温度行为的相干磁散射从铜亚晶格,这表明在\Tcn 1 $\approx 18$ K和\Tcn 2 $\approx 8$ K的尖锐的强度最小值,是由于交叉的迹象之间的相互作用强耦合,弱铁磁,CuO $_2$层。在\Tcn 1\处,耦合从铁磁变为反铁磁,并且层之间的长程有序暂时丧失。\Tcn 2\是Gd矩有序和层间有序进一步重组发生的温度。弱的铁磁性的CuO层被发现是由于一个小的旋转的Cu矩在相同的方向,在该方向中,他们的协调氧广场旋转的四方晶系的晶体结构的正交畸变。翻转比测量的进一步分析,使我们能够模拟的零场和场诱导相的Gd $_2$ CuO $_4$的磁结构。

英文摘要:

We report a polarised neutron study of the magnetic structures and phase trasitions in \gdc\ in low magnetic fields. These experiments have been complemented by integrated intensity measurements with unpolarised neutrons in zero field. Polarised neutron flipping ratio measurements have been made with magnetic fields $H = 0.05$, 0.10 and 0.5 T in the temperature range 4-20 K. These have enabled us to deduce that the anomalous temperature behaviour of the coherent magnetic scattering from the Cu sublattice, which shows sharp intensity minima at \Tcn1 $\approx 18$K and \Tcn2 $\approx 8$ K, is due to cross-overs in the sign of the interaction between strongly coupled, weakly ferromagnetic, CuO$_2$ layers. At \Tcn1\ the coupling changes from ferromagnetic to anti-ferromagnetic and long-range order between layers is temporarily lost. \Tcn2\ is the temperature at which the Gd moments order and a further reorganisation of the interlayer order takes place. The weak ferromagnetism of the CuO layers is found to be due to a small rotation of the Cu moments in the same direction as that in which their coordinating oxygen squares rotate in the tetragonal to orthorhombic distortion of the crystal structure. Further analysis of the flipping ratio measurements has enabled us to model the magnetic structures of the zero-field and the field-induced phases of Gd$_2$CuO$_4$.
