摘要:

通过交流磁化率测量,我们发现了Tb $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$在零磁场中低于140 mK的新磁相的证据。在平行于[111]的磁场中,这个相位-表现出频率和振幅依赖的磁化率和极慢的自旋动力学-延伸到大约70 mT,在那里它让位于另一个相位。的第二阶段,延伸到约0.6 T的磁化率的字段的依赖性,表明存在一个弱的磁化平台低于50 mK,已被预测的单四面体四自旋模型,支持的基本建议,即无序的低场基态Tb $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$是一个量子自旋冰。

英文摘要:

By means of ac magnetic-susceptibility measurements, we find evidence for a new magnetic phase of Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ below about 140 mK in zero magnetic field. In magnetic fields parallel to [111], this phase---exhibiting frequency- and amplitude-dependent susceptibility and an extremely slow spin dynamics---extends to about 70 mT, at which it gives way to another phase. The field dependence of the susceptibility of this second phase, which extends to about 0.6 T, indicates the presence of a weak magnetization plateau below 50 mK, as has been predicted by a single-tetrahedron four-spin model, giving support to the underlying proposal that the disordered low-field ground state of Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$ is a quantum spin ice.
