摘要:

单晶的Nd $_2$ O $_3$的生长和表征使用中子散射和热力学测量。Nd $_2$ O $_3$在低于$T_{\rm N}$ = 0.55 K时具有长程反铁磁序,比热测量表明,在高于$T_{\rm N}$时释放了大量的磁熵。非弹性中子散射实验揭示了一个磁模,在$\approx$ 0.37 meV处达到峰值,具有很小的色散,在$T_{\rm N}$以下具有最大强度,但在2 $T_{\rm N}$以上持续存在。这种持续的动态相关性可能与受阻的相互作用有关,该相互作用与Nd $^{3+}$离子上$J_{\textrm{eff}}$ = 1/2自旋的近乎理想的堆叠三角晶格几何形状相关。由于晶场效应,在所有温度下观察到的磁化强度是强烈的各向异性,观察到易平面各向异性。一个非补偿的磁结构推断从温度依赖性的磁化时,施加足够强度的磁场内的基面附近的$T_{\rm N}$,和演变的长程序总结在温度场相图。

英文摘要:

Single crystals of Nd$_2$O$_3$ were grown and characterized using neutron scattering and thermodynamic measurements. Nd$_2$O$_3$ has long-range antiferromagnetic order below $T_{\rm N}$ = 0.55 K and specific heat measurements have demonstrated that a significant amount of the magnetic entropy is released above $T_{\rm N}$. Inelastic neutron scattering experiments reveal a magnetic mode(s) with little dispersion peaked at $\approx$ 0.37 meV that is of greatest intensity below $T_{\rm N}$ but persists above 2$T_{\rm N}$. This persistence of dynamic correlations is likely related to frustrated interactions associated with the nearly-ideal stacked triangular lattice geometry of $J_{\textrm{eff}}$ = 1/2 spins on Nd$^{3+}$ ions. The magnetization is observed to be strongly anisotropic at all temperatures due to crystal field effects, with easy-plane anisotropy observed. A non-compensated magnetic structure is inferred from the temperature-dependence of the magnetization when a magnetic field of sufficient strength is applied within the basal plane near $T_{\rm N}$, and the evolution of the long-range order is summarized in a temperature-field phase diagram.
