摘要:

Ba $_8$ CoNb $_6$ O $_{24}$提出了一个系统,其Co $^{2+}$离子具有有效自旋1/2,并构建了一个规则的三角晶格反铁磁体(TLAFM),具有非常大的层间距,确保纯粹的二维字符。我们利用这种理想的实现,进行详细的实验分析的$S = 1/2$ TLAFM,这是一个关键模型的挫折量子磁性。我们发现了较强的低能自旋涨落和无磁序,但发散的相关长度下降到0.1 K,表明Mermin-Wagner趋向于零温度顺序。然而,在0.1 K以下,我们的低场测量显示了一种未预料到的磁无序态,这是一种候选的量子自旋液体。我们建立了$(H,T)$相图,详细地将量子涨落修正映射到现有的理论分析中。这些措施包括一个强大的最大有序温度,定性变化的低场和高场相边界,和有序的制度显然占主导地位的共线“向上向上向下”状态的字段上移。因此,Ba $_8$ CoNb $_6$ O $_{24}$为$S = 1/2$海森堡TLAFM的场诱导量子相变的理论方法的发展提供了新的输入。

英文摘要:

Ba$_8$CoNb$_6$O$_{24}$ presents a system whose Co$^{2+}$ ions have an effective spin 1/2 and construct a regular triangular-lattice antiferromagnet (TLAFM) with a very large interlayer spacing, ensuring purely two-dimensional character. We exploit this ideal realization to perform a detailed experimental analysis of the $S = 1/2$ TLAFM, which is one of the keystone models in frustrated quantum magnetism. We find strong low-energy spin fluctuations and no magnetic ordering, but a diverging correlation length down to 0.1 K, indicating a Mermin-Wagner trend towards zero-temperature order. Below 0.1 K, however, our low-field measurements show an nexpected magnetically disordered state, which is a candidate quantum spin liquid. We establish the $(H,T)$ phase diagram, mapping in detail the quantum fluctuation corrections to the available theoretical analysis. These include a strong upshift in field of the maximum ordering temperature, qualitative changes to both low- and high-field phase boundaries, and an ordered regime apparently dominated by the collinear "up-up-down" state. Ba$_8$CoNb$_6$O$_{24}$ therefore offers fresh input for the development of theoretical approaches to the field-induced quantum phase transitions of the $S = 1/2$ Heisenberg TLAFM.
