蜂窝晶格钌酸锂$_{2}$ RuO $_3$单晶的一级磁结构转变

First-order magneto-structural transition in single crystals of the honeycomb lattice Ruthenate Li$_{2}$RuO$_3$

Kavita Mehlawat, Yogesh Singh

摘要:

已知Li $_2$ RuO $_3$在室温下以$C2/m$或$P2_1/m$结构结晶。报道了Li $_2$ RuO $_3$和Na取代晶体(Li $_{0.95}$ Na $_{0.05}$)$_{2}$ RuO $_3$的首次单晶生长,在$P2_1/m$结构中结晶,其中在高温下观察到磁结构转变。使用高温($T \leq 1000$ ~K)磁化率$χ$测量,我们研究了整个磁结构转变的磁各向异性。我们的研究结果表明,第一次,对于Li $_2$ RuO $_3$的磁性和结构转变最有可能发生在略有不同的温度。类似一级的结构转变首先发生($T \approx 570$ ~K)并驱动磁性转变($T \approx 540$ ~K)。令人惊讶的是,仅仅用$5\%$ Na取代Li以一种有趣的方式影响磁结构转变。一级转变温度保持在$\approx 540$ ~K,磁各向异性反转,Ru-Ru二聚化模式从Li $_2$ RuO $_3$的扶手椅模式中的每个蜂窝的两个短Ru-Ru键和四个长Ru-Ru键变为(Li $_{0.95}$ Na $_{0.05}$)$_{2}$ RuO $_3$的每个蜂窝的四个短Ru-Ru键和两个长Ru-Ru键,这可以看作是两个互穿的扶手椅模式。

英文摘要:

Li$_2$RuO$_3$ is known to crystallize in either $C2/m$ or $P2_1/m$ structures at room temperature. We report the first single crystal growth of Li$_2$RuO$_3$ and Na substituted crystals (Li$_{0.95}$Na$_{0.05}$)$_{2}$RuO$_3$ crystallizing in the $P2_1/m$ structure where a magneto-structural transition is observed at high temperatures. Using high temperature ($T \leq 1000$~K) magnetic susceptibility $χ$ measurements we study the magnetic anisotropy across the magneto-structural transition. Our results show for the first time that for Li$_2$RuO$_3$ the magnetic and structural transitions most likely occur at slightly different temperatures. The structural transition which is first order-like occurs first ($T \approx 570$~K) and drives the magnetic transition ($T \approx 540$~K). Rather surprisingly, just $5\%$ Na substitution for Li affects the magneto-structural transition in an interesting way. The first order transition temperature stays $\approx 540$~K, the magnetic anisotropy is reversed, and the Ru-Ru dimerization pattern changes from two short and four long Ru-Ru bonds per honeycomb in an armchair pattern for Li$_2$RuO$_3$ to four short and two long bonds per honeycomb in (Li$_{0.95}$Na$_{0.05}$)$_{2}$RuO$_3$ which can be viewed as two inter-penetrating armchair patterns.
