摘要:

而磁挫折通常与本地时刻磁铁在特殊的几何安排,在这里,我们表明,SrCo $_{2}$作为$_{2}$是一个候选人沮丧巡回磁性。使用非弹性中子散射(INS),我们发现,反铁磁(AF)自旋涨落的发展在正方形Co层的SrCo $_{2}$作为$_{2}$低于$T\approx100$ K中心的条纹型AF传播矢量的$(\frac{1}{2},~\frac{1}{2})$,并且它们的发展是伴随着抑制的均匀磁化率通过磁化测量确定。我们解释这种开关的光谱权重信号的温度引起的交叉,从不稳定的FM排序的不稳定性,对条纹型AF排序冷却,并显示从蒙特卡罗模拟的$J_{1}$ - $J_{2}$海森堡模型,说明如何交叉发展的挫折比$-J_1/(2J_2)$的函数的结果。通过将我们的INS数据放在绝对尺度上,我们定量地将它们和我们的磁化数据与$J_{1}$ - $J_{2}$模型的精确对角化计算进行比较[N. Shannon等人,EUR. B38,599(2004)],并且表明计算预测的磁挫挫水平低于实验所指示的水平。我们跟踪这种差异的波动($J_{\text{avg}}\gtrsim75$毫电子伏),这是大的能量尺度,除了陡峭的色散,更巡回磁的特点。

英文摘要:

Whereas magnetic frustration is typically associated with local-moment magnets in special geometric arrangements, here we show that SrCo$_{2}$As$_{2}$ is a candidate for frustrated itinerant magnetism. Using inelastic neutron scattering (INS), we find that antiferromagnetic (AF) spin fluctuations develop in the square Co layers of SrCo$_{2}$As$_{2}$ below $T\approx100$ K centered at the stripe-type AF propagation vector of $(\frac{1}{2},~\frac{1}{2})$, and that their development is concomitant with a suppression of the uniform magnetic susceptibility determined via magnetization measurements. We interpret this switch in spectral weight as signaling a temperature-induced crossover from an instability towards FM ordering to an instability towards stripe-type AF ordering on cooling, and show results from Monte-Carlo simulations for a $J_{1}$-$J_{2}$ Heisenberg model that illustrate how the crossover develops as a function of the frustration ratio $-J_1/(2J_2)$. By putting our INS data on an absolute scale, we quantitatively compare them and our magnetization data to exact-diagonalization calculations for the $J_{1}$-$J_{2}$ model [N. Shannon et al., Eur. Phys. J. B 38, 599 (2004)], and show that the calculations predict a lower level of magnetic frustration than indicated by experiment. We trace this discrepancy to the large energy scale of the fluctuations ($J_{\text{avg}}\gtrsim75$ meV), which, in addition to the steep dispersion, is more characteristic of itinerant magnetism.
