摘要:

量子三角晶格反铁磁体是研究凝聚态几何挫现象的重要原型系统。除了极不寻常的磁性外,它们还拥有丰富的相图(从无阻方形晶格到量子自旋液体),这还有待实验证实。这一研究领域的一个主要障碍是缺乏具有适当(理想调谐)磁参数的材料。使用Cs $_2$ CuCl $_4$作为一个模型系统,我们展示了一种替代方法,其中,而不是化学成分,自旋哈密顿量被流体静压力改变。该方法结合了高压电子自旋共振和磁化测量,使我们不仅可以准连续地调整交换参数,而且还可以准确地监测它们。我们的实验表明,在1.8 GPa的压力下,交换耦合比从0.3大幅增加到0.42,揭示了一些紧急场诱导的阶段。

英文摘要:

Quantum triangular-lattice antiferromagnets are important prototype systems to investigate phenomena of the geometrical frustration in condensed matter. Apart from highly unusual magnetic properties, they possess a rich phase diagram (ranging from an unfrustrated square lattice to a quantum spin liquid), yet to be confirmed experimentally. One major obstacle in this area of research is the lack of materials with appropriate (ideally tuned) magnetic parameters. Using Cs$_2$CuCl$_4$ as a model system, we demonstrate an alternative approach, where, instead of the chemical composition, the spin Hamiltonian is altered by hydrostatic pressure. The approach combines high-pressure electron spin resonance and magnetization measurements, allowing us not only to quasi-continuously tune the exchange parameters, but also to accurately monitor them. Our experiments indicate a substantial increase of the exchange coupling ratio from 0.3 to 0.42 at a pressure of 1.8 GPa, revealing a number of emergent field-induced phases.
