摘要:

最近发现的材料6 H-B-Ba 3 NiSb 2 O 9显示出不寻常的低温现象,被解释为三角晶格上自旋S = 1的量子自旋液体。本文研究了自旋S = 1的AB叠层三角晶格上的量子顺磁-螺旋磁跃迁模型,该模型由易平面单离子各向异性驱动。我们表明,受挫层间和层内交换相互作用诱导的低能量激发,导致一个广泛的交叉制度的线性温度依赖的比热轮廓线。基于这一点和其他各种预测,我们认为,所观察到的现象学可以理解的一个传统的图片接近这个挫折的临界点。

英文摘要:

A recently discovered material, 6H-B-Ba3NiSb2O9 was found to display unusual low-temperature phenomenology, interpreted as a quantum spin liquid with spin S = 1 on a triangular lattice. We study a spin S = 1 quantum exchange model on an AB stacked triangular lattice near its quantum paramagnet-to-spiral magnet transition, driven by easy-plane single-ion anisotropy. We demonstrate that the frustrated inter- and intra-layer exchange interactions induce contour lines of low energy excitations that lead to a broad crossover regime of linear-temperature dependence of the specific heat. Based on this and a variety of other predictions, we argue that the observed phenomenology can be understood in terms of a conventional picture of a proximity to this frustrated critical point.
