AI总结:

本文研究了键无序 BaCu$_2$(Si$_{1-x}$Ge$_x$)$_2$O$_7$ 自旋链化合物的性质演化,发现仅 5% Ge 替代即可降低三维磁有序温度并在顺磁区引发新状态,最大无序时形成理论预测的随机单态。

摘要:

多年来,Heisenberg型自旋链材料得到了广泛研究,但关于它们在无序条件下的行为却知之甚少。我们从典型的自旋1/2链系统 BaCu$_2$Si$_2$O$_7$ 出发,研究了一系列具有不同键无序程度的化合物,其中用 Ge 系统性替代 Si 导致了 Cu$^{2+}$ 交换相互作用的重新调制。通过结合磁化率测量与核磁共振研究,我们追踪了与无序相关的性质从有序的 BaCu$_2$Si$_2$O$_7$ 到最大无序的 BaCu$_2$SiGeO$_7$ 的演化。我们的数据表明,仅 5% Ge 的微弱无序程度,除了非常有效地降低三维磁有序温度 $T_\mathrm{N}$ 外,还在顺磁区域引发了定性不同的状态。在最大无序下,数据表明该状态可被等同于理论预测的随机单态(RS)状态。随着无序度降低,$T_\mathrm{N}$ 以上 RS 区域的范围减小,但其影响仍清晰可见,特别是在 NMR 弛豫数据的特征中。

英文摘要:

Heisenberg-type spin-chain materials have been extensively studied over the years, yet not much is known about their behavior in the presence of disorder. Starting from BaCu$_2$Si$_2$O$_7$, a typical spin-1/2 chain system, we investigate a series of compounds with different degrees of bond disorder, where the systematic replacement of Si with Ge results in a re-modulation of the Cu$^{2+}$ exchange interactions. By combining magnetometry measurements with nuclear magnetic resonance studies we follow the evolution of the disorder-related properties from the well-ordered BaCu$_2$Si$_2$O$_7$ to the maximally disordered BaCu$_2$SiGeO$_7$. Our data indicate that already a weak degree of disorder of only 5% Ge, apart from reducing the 3D magnetic ordering temperature $T_\mathrm{N}$ quite effectively, induces a qualitatively different state in the paramagnetic regime. At maximum disorder our data indicate that this state may be identified with the theoretically predicted random singlet (RS) state. With decreasing disorder the extension of the RS regime at temperatures above $T_\mathrm{N}$ is reduced, yet its influence is clearly manifest, particularly in the features of NMR relaxation data.
