摘要:

我们报告的第一个详细的调查K $_2$ MnS $_2$和K $_2$ MnSe $_2$从K $_2$ MnS $_2$结构类型和它们的磁性固溶体K $_2$ MnS $_{2-x}$ Se $_x$,发现这种结构类型的化合物由强耦合的伪一维反铁磁链,共同代表一个挫折的二维三角反铁磁体。用X射线衍射、中子衍射、磁化强度和热容测量对含$0 \leq x \leq 2$的$_2$-$_{2-x}$-Se-$_x$大块样品进行了表征。在KPDMATHABMM MnS $_{2-x}$ Se $_x$中观察到具有磁传播矢量$k = [0.58~0~1]$的无公度摆线磁结构,尽管晶胞体积增加了12\%,但有序性是稳健的。链的几何挫挫导致沿$a$的不可逆性和两步磁性转变。这种结构类型的化合物中可获得的不同几何形状被认为是调整挫折感的有希望的途径。

英文摘要:

We report the first detailed investigation of K$_2$MnS$_2$ and K$_2$MnSe$_2$ from the K$_2$MnS$_2$ structure type and their magnetic solid solution K$_2$MnS$_{2-x}$Se$_x$ and find that compounds of this structure type consist of strongly-coupled pseudo-one-dimensional antiferromagnetic chains that collectively represent a frustrated two-dimensional triangular antiferromagnet. Bulk samples of K$_2$MnS$_{2-x}$Se$_x$ with $0 \leq x \leq 2$ are characterized using X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, magnetization and heat capacity measurements. An incommensurate cycloid magnetic structure with a magnetic propagation vector $k = [0.58~0~1]$ is observed for all samples in K$_2$MnS$_{2-x}$Se$_x$, and the ordering is robust despite a 12\% increase in cell volume. Geometric frustration of chains results in incommensurability along $a$ and a two-step magnetic transition. The varying geometries accessible in compounds of this structure type are presented as promising avenues to tune frustration.
