摘要:

通过比热测量研究了阻挫烧绿石氧化物Tb $_{2+x}$ Ti $_{2-x}$ O $_{7+y}$的基态,该基态灵敏地依赖于小的偏离化学计量参数$x$.用标准浮区法生长的Tb $_{2+x}$ Ti $_{2-x}$ O $_{7+y}$单晶具有浓度($x$)梯度。这种偏离化学计量参数是通过精确测量从晶体梨晶切割的小样品的晶格常数来确定的。比热表明,在$x$ - $T$相图中,电四极态的相界具有圆顶结构,在约$x = 0.01$处具有最高的$T_{\text{c}} \simeq 0.5$ K。该相图表明Tb $_{2+x}$ Ti $_{2-x}$ O $_{7+y}$的U(1)量子自旋液体态存在于$x<x_{\text{c}} \simeq -0.0025 $范围内,其通过一阶相变线$x=x_{\text{c}}$与四极态分离。

英文摘要:

The ground states of the frustrated pyrochlore oxide Tb$_{2+x}$Ti$_{2-x}$O$_{7+y}$, sensitively depending on the small off-stoichiometry parameter $x$, have been studied by specific heat measurements using well characterized samples. Single crystal Tb$_{2+x}$Ti$_{2-x}$O$_{7+y}$ boules grown by the standard floating zone technique are shown to exhibit concentration ($x$) gradient. This off-stoichiometry parameter is determined by precisely measuring the lattice constant of small samples cut from a crystal boule. Specific heat shows that the phase boundary of the electric quadrupolar state has a dome structure in the $x$-$T$ phase diagram with the highest $T_{\text{c}} \simeq 0.5$ K at about $x = 0.01$. This phase diagram suggests that the putative U(1) quantum spin-liquid state of Tb$_{2+x}$Ti$_{2-x}$O$_{7+y}$ exists in the range $x<x_{\text{c}} \simeq -0.0025 $, which is separated from the quadrupolar state via a first-order phase-transition line $x=x_{\text{c}}$.
