摘要:

钆烧绿石Gd $_2B_2$ O $_7$是在烧绿石晶格上实现反铁磁耦合海森堡自旋的最佳材料之一。我们提出了一个磁特性的Gd $_2$ Pt $_2$ O $_7$,这个家庭的独特成员。磁化率、热容和μ子自旋弛豫测量表明,Gd $_2$ Pt $_2$ O $_7$在$T_N = 1.6$ K下发生反铁磁有序转变.这种转变是强烈的第一顺序,所示的急剧性的热容异常,热滞后的磁化率,和非发散的弛豫率在$μ$ SR。下面的形式的热容$T_N$表明,基态是一个各向异性的共线反铁磁体的激发光谱,是由0.245(1)meV缺口。Gd $_2$ Pt $_2$ O $_7$的有序化温度,$T_N = 1.6$ K,比其他钆焦磷酸盐的有序化温度高出160%。我们将$T_N$的这种增强归因于$B$位点阳离子铂,尽管铂是非磁性的,但其具有填充的$5d$ $t_{2g}$轨道和空的$5d$ $e_g$轨道,这可以促进超交换。因此,Gd $_2$ Pt $_2$ O $_7$中的磁阻挫被部分“缓解”,从而促进磁有序。

英文摘要:

The gadolinium pyrochlores, Gd$_2B_2$O$_7$, are amongst the best realizations of antiferromagnetically coupled Heisenberg spins on a pyrochlore lattice. We present a magnetic characterization of Gd$_2$Pt$_2$O$_7$, a unique member of this family. Magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, and muon spin relaxation measurements show that Gd$_2$Pt$_2$O$_7$ undergoes an antiferromagnetic ordering transition at $T_N = 1.6$ K. This transition is strongly first order, as indicated by the sharpness of the heat capacity anomaly, thermal hysteresis in the magnetic susceptibility, and a non-divergent relaxation rate in $μ$SR. The form of the heat capacity below $T_N$ suggests that the ground state is an anisotropic collinear antiferromagnet with an excitation spectrum that is gapped by 0.245(1) meV. The ordering temperature in Gd$_2$Pt$_2$O$_7$, $T_N = 1.6$ K, is a substantial 160% increase from other gadolinium pyrochlores, which have been found to order at 1 K or lower. We attribute this enhancement in $T_N$ to the $B$-site cation, platinum, which, despite being non-magnetic, has a filled $5d$ $t_{2g}$ orbital and an empty $5d$ $e_g$ orbital that can facilitate superexchange. Thus, the magnetic frustration in Gd$_2$Pt$_2$O$_7$ is partially "relieved", thereby promoting magnetic order.
