摘要:

我们研究了磁性绝缘体Ba $_5$ CuIr $_3$ O $_{12}$的热力学和高磁场性质,它表明没有磁序下降到2 K与自旋液体基态一致。虽然磁化率和比热的温度依赖性只显示弱的反铁磁相关性,我们发现,磁化强度不饱和到59特斯拉的字段,导致一个明显的矛盾。我们证明了这个悖论是可以解决的,所有的实验数据都可以在随机单重态的框架内一致地描述。我们演示了一个通用的程序,从磁化测量得到的交换耦合分布$P(J)$,并使用它来表明,实验数据是符合幂律形式$P(J)\sim J^{-α}$与$α\approx 0.6 $。因此,我们发现,高磁场测量可以是必不可少的,以辨别量子自旋液体候选人从无序为主的状态,不表现出长程有序。

英文摘要:

We study the thermodynamic and high-magnetic-field properties of the magnetic insulator Ba$_5$CuIr$_3$O$_{12}$, which shows no magnetic order down to 2 K consistent with a spin liquid ground state. While the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat shows only weak antiferromagnetic correlations, we find that the magnetization does not saturate up to a field of 59 Tesla, leading to an apparent contradiction. We demonstrate that the paradox can be resolved, and all of the experimental data can be consistently described within the framework of random singlet states. We demonstrate a generic procedure to derive the exchange coupling distribution $P(J)$ from the magnetization measurements and use it to show that the experimental data is consistent with the power-law form $P(J)\sim J^{-α}$ with $α\approx 0.6 $. Thus, we reveal that high-magnetic-field measurements can be essential to discern quantum spin liquid candidates from disorder dominated states that do not exhibit long-range order.
