英文摘要:

High resolution heat capacity and thermal expansion experiments performed on single crystalline kagome-staircase compounds (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ are presented. The parent compounds Co$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ and Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ undergo a complex sequence of first- and second-order magnetic phase transitions. The low-temperature ($T<40$ K) magnetic entropy evolves monotonously with the doping content $x$, from the full S=1 Ni$^{2+}$ magnetic entropy in Ni$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ to half of the S=3/2 Co$^{2+}$ magnetic entropy in Co$_3$V$_2$O$_8$. Thermal expansion coefficients $α_i$ ($i = a$, $b$ and $c$) show a strong anisotropy for all (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$ compounds. The low-temperature magnetic distortion indicates that Co-doping (Ni-doping) has similar effects to applying a uniaxial pressures along $a$ or $b$ ($c$). Linear Grüneisen parameters $Γ_i$ are extracted for the three main axes $i$ and exhibit a complex behavior with both temperature and doping. For each axis, $Γ_i$ and $α_i$ exhibit a sign change (at low temperature) at the critical concentration $x_c\simeq0.25$, at which the incommensurate magnetic propagation vector changes. Beyond our study, an understanding of the multiple and complex parameters (magnetic frustration, magnetic anisotropy, mixture of S=1 and S=3/2 ions, etc.) is now necessarily to bring light to the rich magneto-elastic properties of (Co$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_3$V$_2$O$_8$.
