摘要:

我们进行了高磁场超声实验的Yb B $_{12}$高达59 T,研究Yb离子的价涨落。在零场中,纵向弹性常数$C_{11}$,横向弹性常数$C_{44}$和$\left( C_{11} - C_{12} \right)/2$,和体积模量$C_\mathrm{B}$显示硬化与曲率的变化,在35 K左右,表明一个小的贡献的价波动的弹性常数。当在低温下施加高磁场时,$C_\mathrm{B}$表现出高于场诱导绝缘体-金属转变信号场诱导价态波动的软化。此外,在升高的温度下,场诱导的$C_\mathrm{B}$软化发生在甚至更低的场,并且$C_\mathrm{B}$随场连续降低。我们使用基于双带模型的多极极化率的分析表明,除了绝缘体能隙的减小之外,$C_\mathrm{B}$的软化还源于多极应变相互作用的增强。这一分析表明,场致价Yb的波动导致的体积模量的不稳定性$C_\mathrm{B}$。

英文摘要:

We performed high-magnetic-field ultrasonic experiments on YbB$_{12}$ up to 59 T to investigate the valence fluctuations in Yb ions. In zero field, the longitudinal elastic constant $C_{11}$, the transverse elastic constants $C_{44}$ and $\left( C_{11} - C_{12} \right)/2$, and the bulk modulus $C_\mathrm{B}$ show a hardening with a change of curvature at around 35 K indicating a small contribution of valence fluctuations to the elastic constants. When high magnetic fields are applied at low temperatures, $C_\mathrm{B}$ exhibits a softening above a field-induced insulator-metal transition signaling field-induced valence fluctuations. Furthermore, at elevated temperatures, the field-induced softening of $C_\mathrm{B}$ takes place at even lower fields and $C_\mathrm{B}$ decreases continuously with field. Our analysis using the multipole susceptibility based on a two-band model reveals that the softening of $C_\mathrm{B}$ originates from the enhancement of multipole-strain interaction in addition to the decrease of the insulator energy gap. This analysis indicates that field-induced valence fluctuations of Yb cause the instability of the bulk modulus $C_\mathrm{B}$.
