摘要:

(Sr 1-xCax)3Ru 2 O 7具有复杂的磁性状态,从长程反铁磁有序态、重质量近铁磁(NFM)态到巡游变磁(IMM)态。在0.4 > x > 0.08组成范围内出现的NFM状态在低温下冻结成团簇自旋玻璃(CSG)相[Z. Qu等人,B78,180407(R)(2008)]。本文给出了(Sr_(1-x)Cax)_3Ru_2 O_7在0.4 > x > 0.08组成范围内的磁化强度和比热的标度分析。我们发现,在自旋冻结温度T $_f$之上的温度区域,等温磁化强度M(H)和电子比热C_e(T)的温度依赖性表现出反常的幂律奇异性,这两个量都由一个单一的指数控制。磁化强度M(T)随温度的变化也呈幂律关系,但其指数与由M(H)和C_e(T)导出的指数有很大不同。分析进一步揭示了在自旋冻结温度T_f和标度温度T_scaling之间的温度范围内,磁化强度数据M(H,T)服从M(H,T)\propto H^αf(H/T^δ)的唯象标度律. T_scaling随Ca含量的降低而系统地减小。该标度律在临界浓度x = 0.1附近失效,在该临界浓度处发生CSG到IMM的相变。我们从无序对量子相变的影响的角度讨论了这些行为。

英文摘要:

(Sr1-xCax)3Ru2O7 is characterized by complex magnetic states, spanning from a long-range antiferromagnetically ordered state over an unusual heavy-mass nearly ferromagnetic (NFM) state to an itinerant metamagnetic (IMM) state. The NFM state, which occurs in the 0.4 > x > 0.08 composition range, freezes into a cluster-spin-glass (CSG) phase at low temperatures [Z. Qu et al., Phys. Rev. B 78, 180407(R) (2008)]. In this article, we present the scaling analyses of magnetization and the specific heat for (Sr1-xCax)3Ru2O7 in the 0.4 > x > 0.08 composition range. We find that in a temperature region immediately above the spin freezing temperature T$_f$, the isothermal magnetization M(H) and the temperature dependence of electronic specific heat C_e(T) exhibit anomalous power-law singularities; both quantities are controlled by a single exponent. The temperature dependence of magnetization M(T) also displays a power-law behavior, but its exponent differs remarkably from that derived from M(H) and C_e(T). Our analyses further reveal that the magnetization data M(H,T) obey a phenomenological scaling law of M(H,T) \propto H^αf(H/T^δ) in a temperature region between the spin freezing temperature T_f and the scaling temperature T_scaling. T_scaling systematically decreases with the decease of Ca content. This scaling law breaks down near the critical concentration x = 0.1 where a CSG-to-IMM phase transition occurs. We discussed these behaviors in term of the effect of disorder on the quantum phase transition.
