摘要:

本文报道了S=1/2 kagome晶格反铁磁体ZnCu $_{3}$(OH)$_{6}$ Cl $_{2}$的热力学测量结果。利用单晶样品,测量了垂直于和平行于可果梅面的磁化率。已经观察到一个小的,温度依赖性的各向异性,其中$χ_{z}/ χ_{p} > 1$在高温和$χ_{z}/ χ_{p} < 1$在低温。拟合的高温数据的居里-外斯模型也揭示了各向异性。通过与理论计算结果的比较,可以推断出小的易轴交换各向异性的存在是主导海森堡近邻相互作用的主要扰动。这些结果对于解释基于Kagome Heisenberg反铁磁体模型的理论计算和ZnCu $_{3}$(OH)$_{6}$ Cl $_{2}$的实验具有重要意义。

英文摘要:

We report thermodynamic measurements of the S=1/2 kagome lattice antiferromagnet ZnCu$_{3}$(OH)$_{6}$Cl$_{2}$, a promising candidate system with a spin-liquid ground state. Using single crystal samples, the magnetic susceptibility both perpendicular and parallel to the kagome plane has been measured. A small, temperature-dependent anisotropy has been observed, where $χ_{z}/ χ_{p} > 1$ at high temperatures and $χ_{z}/ χ_{p} < 1$ at low temperatures. Fits of the high-temperature data to a Curie-Weiss model also reveal an anisotropy. By comparing with theoretical calculations, the presence of a small easy-axis exchange anisotropy can be deduced as the primary perturbation to the dominant Heisenberg nearest neighbor interaction. These results have great bearing on the interpretation of theoretical calculations based on the kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet model to the experiments on ZnCu$_{3}$(OH)$_{6}$Cl$_{2}$.
