摘要:

我们对Yb基硫族化合物尖晶石$A$ Yb $_2$ $X_4$($A =$ Cd,Mg,$X =$ S,Se)的多晶样品的研究揭示了由于烧绿石晶格上的反铁磁耦合海森堡自旋而导致的磁性受挫。我们的晶体电场分析表明Yb基态具有近似海森堡自旋,并具有强的基态二重态量子特性。所有材料在1.4-1.8 K呈现出反铁磁有序,比$\sim 10$ K的反铁磁交换耦合标度低得多。磁性比热$C_{\rm M}$表现出$T^{3}$依赖性,表明Yb基硫属尖晶石具有无带隙的特征。低于Néel温度的磁熵变远小于$R$ ln 2,并且从$μ$ SR测量估计的小的局部磁场强烈地表明与裸矩大小1.33 $μ_{\rm B}$ /Yb相比,有序矩的大小显著减小,从而支持CdYb $_2$ S $_4$和MgYb $_2$ S $_4$中的公度和非公度有序态中的强烈波动,分别

英文摘要:

Our polycrystalline sample study on the Yb-based chalcogenide spinels $A$Yb$_2$$X_4$ ($A =$ Cd, Mg, $X =$ S, Se) has revealed frustrated magnetism due to the antiferromagnetically coupled Heisenberg spin on the pyrochlore lattice. Our crystal electric field analysis indicates the Yb ground state has nearly Heisenberg spins with a strong quantum character of the ground doublet. All the materials exhibit an antiferromagnetic order at 1.4-1.8 K, much lower temperature than the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling scale of $\sim 10$ K. The magnetic specific heat $C_{\rm M}$ shows a $T^{3}$ dependence, indicating the gapless feature in the Yb-based chalcogenide spinels. The magnetic entropy change much smaller than $R$ ln 2 below the Néel temperature and the small local magnetic field estimated from the $μ$SR measurements strongly suggest the significantly reduced size of the ordered moment in comparison with the bare moment size 1.33 $μ_{\rm B}$/Yb supporting strong fluctuations in the commensurate and incommensurate ordered states in CdYb$_2$S$_4$ and MgYb$_2$S$_4$, respectively.
