摘要:

我们目前的合成和多晶NaVOAsO $_4$的结构和磁性能的详细调查,通过X射线衍射,磁化,电子自旋共振(ESR),和$^{75}$作为核磁共振(NMR)测量以及密度泛函能带结构计算。温度依赖的磁化率,ESR强度,和NMR线位移可以很好地描述使用交替自旋$1/2$链模型与交换耦合$J/k_{\rm B}\simeq 52$ K和交替参数$α\simeq 0.65$。由在$T=1.5 $ K处测得的高场磁等温线,发现能隙闭合的临界场为$ H_{\rm c}\simeq 16$ T,它对应于$Δ_0/k_{\rm B}\simeq 21.4$ K的零场自旋能隙。核磁共振位移和自旋-晶格弛豫速率在低温下都表现出激活行为,进一步证实了单重态基态。自旋链与结构链不重合,而自旋链之间的耦合被破坏。由于一个相对较小的自旋间隙,NaVOAsO $_4$是一个有前途的化合物,在高磁场下进行进一步的实验研究。

英文摘要:

We present the synthesis and a detailed investigation of structural and magnetic properties of polycrystalline NaVOAsO$_4$ by means of x-ray diffraction, magnetization, electron spin resonance (ESR), and $^{75}$As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements as well as density-functional band structure calculations. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, ESR intensity, and NMR line shift could be described well using an alternating spin-$1/2$ chain model with the exchange coupling $J/k_{\rm B}\simeq 52$ K and an alternation parameter $α\simeq 0.65$. From the high-field magnetic isotherm measured at $T=1.5 $ K, the critical field of the gap closing is found to be $ H_{\rm c}\simeq 16$ T, which corresponds to the zero-field spin gap of $Δ_0/k_{\rm B}\simeq 21.4$ K. Both NMR shift and spin-lattice relaxation rate show an activated behavior at low temperatures, further confirming the singlet ground state. The spin chains do not coincide with the structural chains, whereas the couplings between the spin chains are frustrated. Because of a relatively small spin gap, NaVOAsO$_4$ is a promising compound for further experimental studies under high magnetic fields.
