摘要:

用Cu核磁共振(NMR)研究了不同Ni、Pd、Zn和Co掺杂量的S=1/2海森堡自旋链化合物SrCuO 2。仅用Ni、Pd、Zn或Co取代少数S=1/2 Cu离子对自旋链系统的磁性具有重大影响。在Ni、Pd和Zn的情况下,低温NMR谱中不寻常的谱线加宽揭示了杂质诱导的局部交替磁化(LAM)的存在,而指数衰减的自旋晶格弛豫速率$T_1^{-1}$朝向低温指示自旋间隙的打开。间隙大小的分布被证明是由拉伸的自旋晶格弛豫和广泛的共振线内的$T_1^{-1}$的变化。这些观测结果强烈地依赖于杂质浓度,因此可以使用自旋为1/2的反铁磁海森堡链的有限段模型来理解,即由于S = 0杂质引起的纯链分段。这对于Ni来说是令人惊讶的,因为之前假设它是S = 1的磁性杂质,其被相邻的铜自旋屏蔽。为了确认Ni的S = 0态,我们进行了X射线吸收光谱(XAS),并将测量结果与基于多重态配体-场论的模拟XAS光谱进行了比较。此外,Zn掺杂导致对NMR谱和自旋-晶格弛豫速率的影响小得多,表明Zn避免占据Cu位点。对于磁性Co杂质,$T_1^{-1}$不服从带隙衰减,低温谱变得很宽。这可能与最近的muSR和磁化率测量所观察到的尼尔温度的增加有关,并且最有可能是杂质自旋$S\neq0$的影响。

英文摘要:

The S=1/2 Heisenberg spin chain compound SrCuO2 doped with different amounts of nickel (Ni), palladium (Pd), zinc (Zn) and cobalt (Co) has been studied by means of Cu nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Replacing only a few of the S=1/2 Cu ions with Ni, Pd, Zn or Co has a major impact on the magnetic properties of the spin chain system. In the case of Ni, Pd and Zn an unusual line broadening in the low temperature NMR spectra reveals the existence of an impurity-induced local alternating magnetization (LAM), while exponentially decaying spin-lattice relaxation rates $T_1^{-1}$ towards low temperatures indicate the opening of spin gaps. A distribution of gap magnitudes is proven by a stretched spin-lattice relaxation and a variation of $T_1^{-1}$ within the broad resonance lines. These observations depend strongly on the impurity concentration and therefore can be understood using the model of finite segments of the spin 1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain, i.e. pure chain segmentation due to S = 0 impurities. This is surprising for Ni as it was previously assumed to be a magnetic impurity with S = 1 which is screened by the neighboring copper spins. In order to confirm the S = 0 state of the Ni, we performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and compared the measurements to simulated XAS spectra based on multiplet ligand-field theory. Furthermore, Zn doping leads to much smaller effects on both the NMR spectra and the spin-lattice relaxation rates, indicating that Zn avoids occupying Cu sites. For magnetic Co impurities, $T_1^{-1}$ does not obey the gap like decrease, and the low-temperature spectra get very broad. This could be related to the increase of the Neel temperature which was observed by recent muSR and susceptibility measurements, and is most likely an effect of the impurity spin $S\neq0$.
