摘要:

在低于和高于3D反铁磁有序温度T $_{\text{N}}$的情况下,使用X射线共振磁散射(XRMS)来表征Sr $_2$ IrO $_4$中的磁临界散射。在二维XYh $_4$普适类范围内,T $_{\text{N}}$以下的序参量临界指数β=0.195(4).在T $_{\text{N}}$以上的温度范围内,本征临界涨落的振幅和关联长度可以用二维海森堡XY各向异性模型很好地描述.这与较早的临界散射的研究在一个更有限的温度范围内发现协议的各向同性的2D海森堡量子反铁磁体的理论,开发描述的临界波动的传统莫特绝缘体La $_2$ CuO $_4$和相关系统。因此,我们的研究建立了XY各向异性的重要性,在低能量有效哈密顿量的Sr $_2$ IrO $_4$,原型的自旋轨道莫特绝缘体。

英文摘要:

The magnetic critical scattering in Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ has been characterized using X-ray resonant magnetic scattering (XRMS) both below and above the 3D antiferromagnetic ordering temperature, T$_{\text{N}}$. The order parameter critical exponent below T$_{\text{N}}$ is found to be β=0.195(4), in the range of the 2D XYh$_4$ universality class. Over an extended temperature range above T$_{\text{N}}$, the amplitude and correlation length of the intrinsic critical fluctuations are well described by the 2D Heisenberg model with XY anisotropy. This contrasts with an earlier study of the critical scattering over a more limited range of temperature which found agreement with the theory of the isotropic 2D Heisenberg quantum antiferromagnet, developed to describe the critical fluctuations of the conventional Mott insulator La$_2$CuO$_4$ and related systems. Our study therefore establishes the importance of XY anisotropy in the low-energy effective Hamiltonian of Sr$_2$IrO$_4$, the prototypical spin-orbit Mott insulator.
