摘要:

烧绿石材料Yb_2Ti_2O_7在低温下进入无序基态之前,在立方晶格环境中显示出意想不到的准二维(2D)磁关联。我们报告中子散射测量的热演化的二维自旋相关的空间和时间。短程三维(3D)自旋相关发展低于400 mK,伴随着抑制准弹性(QE)散射低于~ 0.2 meV。这些显示了一个缓慢波动的基态,自旋在沿着[111]的kagome-三角形-kagome(KTK)堆栈内的短距离内相关,在更高的温度下演化为孤立的kagome自旋星。此外,低温比热的结果表明,样品依赖于假定的转变温度,是由265 mK,我们讨论的背景下,最近的平均场理论分析。

英文摘要:

The pyrochlore material Yb2Ti2O7 displays unexpected quasi-two-dimensional (2D) magnetic correlations within a cubic lattice environment at low temperatures, before entering an exotic disordered ground state below T=265mK. We report neutron scattering measurements of the thermal evolution of the 2D spin correlations in space and time. Short range three dimensional (3D) spin correlations develop below 400 mK, accompanied by a suppression in the quasi-elastic (QE) scattering below ~ 0.2 meV. These show a slowly fluctuating ground state with spins correlated over short distances within a kagome-triangular-kagome (KTK) stack along [111], which evolves to isolated kagome spin-stars at higher temperatures. Furthermore, low-temperature specific heat results indicate a sample dependence to the putative transition temperature that is bounded by 265mK, which we discuss in the context of recent mean field theoretical analysis.
