Thermal Hall conductivity in the frustrated pyrochlore magnet Tb2Ti2O7

摘要:

在铁磁体中,自旋激发是研究得很好的磁振子。在受抑的量子磁体中,尽管自旋之间有很大的交换耦合,但长程磁序无法发展。与传统磁体中的磁振子相比,人们对它们的自旋激发知之甚少。他们是流动的还是本地的?在这里,我们表明,热霍尔电导率$κ_{xy}$提供了一个强大的探针的“量子自旋冰”烧绿石Tb $_2$ Ti $_2$ O $_7$的自旋激发。即使材料是透明的,热霍尔响应也很大。霍尔响应产生于自旋激发,具有将它们与磁振子区分开的特定特性。在低温($T<$ 1 K)下,热导率模仿脏金属的热导率。使用霍尔角,我们构建了一个相位图,显示了如何通过磁场抑制激励。

英文摘要:

In a ferromagnet, the spin excitations are the well-studied magnons. In frustrated quantum magnets, long-range magnetic order fails to develop despite a large exchange coupling between the spins. In contrast to the magnons in conventional magnets, their spin excitations are poorly understood. Are they itinerant or localized? Here we show that the thermal Hall conductivity $κ_{xy}$ provides a powerful probe of spin excitations in the "quantum spin ice" pyrochlore Tb$_2$Ti$_2$O$_7$. The thermal Hall response is large even though the material is transparent. The Hall response arises from spin excitations with specific characteristics that distinguish them from magnons. At low temperature ($T<$ 1 K), the thermal conductivity imitates that of a dirty metal. Using the Hall angle, we construct a phase diagram showing how the excitations are suppressed by a magnetic field.
