摘要:

三元砷化合物BaCo 2As 2先前被提出接近量子临界点,其中长程铁磁(FM)顺序被量子涨落抑制。本文报道了Ir替代Co对Ba[Co(1-x)Ir(x)]_2As_2(0 <= x <= 0.25)单晶的磁性和热学性质的影响。这些化合物都以未塌陷的体心四元ThCr_2Si_2结构结晶,空间群为I_4/mmm。磁化率测量揭示了清晰的FM有序特征,x >= 0.11,居里温度TC = 13 K,几乎与成分无关。TC随x的小变化,在低场和低温度下磁化相对于场等温线的磁滞现象的出现,非常小的自发和回复磁化< 0.01 μ B/f.u.,和热磁不可逆性在低温区一起表明,FM响应来自短程FM有序的自旋团簇,如先前推断发生在Ca[Co{1-x}Ir{x}]{2-y} As 2。热容Cp(T)数据在TC附近没有表现出任何明显的特征,进一步表明FM排序是短程的和/或与巡回时刻相关。在顺磁温度范围25-300 K内的Cp(T)可以很好地用Sommerfeld电子贡献和Debye和Einstein晶格贡献的总和来描述,其中后者表明与晶体中的重Ba原子相关的低频光学模式的发生。

英文摘要:

The ternary-arsenide compound BaCo2As2 was previously proposed to be in proximity to a quantum-critical point where long-range ferromagnetic (FM) order is suppressed by quantum fluctuations. Here we report the effect of Ir substitution for Co on the magnetic and thermal properties of Ba[Co(1-x)Ir(x)]2As2 (0 <= x <= 0.25) single crystals. These compositions all crystallize in an uncollapsed body-centered-tetragonal ThCr2Si2 structure with space group I4/mmm. Magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal clear signatures of FM ordering for x >= 0.11 with a nearly composition-independent Curie temperature TC = 13 K. The small variation of TC with x, the occurrence of hysteresis in magnetization versus field isotherms at low field and temperature, very small spontaneous and remanent magnetizations < 0.01 muB/f.u., and thermomagnetic irreversibility in the low-temperature region together indicate that the FM response arises from short-range FM ordering of spin clusters as previously inferred to occur in Ca[Co{1-x}Ir{x}]{2-y}As2. Heat-capacity Cp(T) data do not exhibit any clear feature around TC, further indicating that the FM ordering is short-range and/or associated with itinerant moments. The Cp(T) in the paramagnetic temperature regime 25-300 K is well described by the sum of a Sommerfeld electronic contribution and Debye and Einstein lattice contributions where the latter suggests the occurrence of low-frequency optic modes associated with the heavy Ba atoms in the crystals.
