摘要:

通过交流/直流磁化率、比热、弹性和非弹性中子散射以及介电常数的测量研究了具有磁性三角晶格的层状钙钛矿$R$ Cr(BO $_3$)$_2$($R$ = Y和Ho)。结果表明:(i)两种样品的Cr离子$^{3+}$在8-9 K附近都是以倾斜反铁磁结构的形式自旋有序,而HoCr中的Ho离子$^{3+}$在$T$ = 1.5 K时不有序(BO $_3$)$_2$ ;(ii)当在$T_{N}$下方施加约2-3 T的临界磁场H $_{C}$时,Cr $^{3+}$在Y化合物中自旋,Cr $^{3+}$和Ho $^{3+}$在铁磁状态下以Ho化合物顺序自旋;(iii)两种样品在转变温度和临界场附近都表现出介电常数异常,但是Ho-化合物显示出强得多的磁介电响应。我们推测这是由于磁致伸缩效应的影响,而磁致伸缩效应依赖于Ho-化合物中Cr $^{3+}$和Ho $^{3+}$离子的有序性。此外,利用线性自旋波理论模拟了非弹性中子散射数据,估算了Y化合物的层内和层间交换强度分别为铁磁J $_{1}$ = -0.12 meV和反铁磁J $_{2}$ = 0.014 meV。不同类型的超交换相互作用之间的竞争导致了铁磁层内相互作用。

英文摘要:

The layered perovskites $R$Cr(BO$_3$)$_2$ ($R$ = Y and Ho) with magnetic triangular lattices were studied by performing ac/dc susceptibility, specific heat, elastic and inelastic neutron scattering, and dielectric constant measurements. The results show (i) both samples' Cr$^{3+}$ spins order in a canted antiferromagnetic structure with $T_N$ around 8-9 K, while the Ho$^{3+}$ ions do not order down to $T$ = 1.5 K in HoCr(BO$_3$)$_2$; (ii) when a critical magnetic field H$_{C}$ around 2-3 T is applied below $T_{N}$, the Cr$^{3+}$ spins in the Y-compound and both the Cr$^{3+}$ and Ho$^{3+}$ spins in the Ho-compound order in a ferromagnetic state; (iii) both samples exhibit dielectric constant anomalies around the transition temperature and critical field, but the Ho-compound displays a much stronger magnetodielectric response. We speculate that this is due to the magnetostriction which depends on both of the Cr$^{3+}$ and the Ho$^{3+}$ ions' ordering in the Ho-compound. Moreover, by using linear spin wave theory to simulate the inelastic neutron scattering data, we estimated the Y-compound's intralayer and interlayer exchange strengths as ferromagnetic J$_{1}$ = -0.12 meV and antiferromagnetic J$_{2}$ = 0.014 meV, respectively. The competition between different kinds of superexchange interactions results in the ferromagnetic intralayer interaction.
