摘要:

我们提出了蜂窝层化合物UNi $_4$ B中电四极自由度的声学特征。横向超声模式$C_{66}$显示在低于30 K时,顺磁相和反铁磁相均软化至$\sim0.33$ K。此外,我们跟踪磁场-温度相图高达30 T,并观察到蜂窝层内的高度各向异性的弹性响应。这些观察结果强烈表明,$Γ_6$(E $_{\rm 2g}$)的电四极自由度在本地化$5f^2$($J = 4$)状态发挥了重要作用的磁环偶极顺序和磁场诱导相的UNi $_4$ B,并证明一些U离子保持在顺磁状态,即使系统经历磁环排序。

英文摘要:

We present acoustic signatures of the electric quadrupolar degrees of freedom in the honeycomb-layer compound UNi$_4$B. The transverse ultrasonic mode $C_{66}$ shows softening below 30 K both in the paramagnetic phase and antiferromagnetic phases down to $\sim0.33$ K. Furthermore, we traced magnetic field-temperature phase diagrams up to 30 T and observed a highly anisotropic elastic response within the honeycomb layer. These observations strongly suggest that $Γ_6$(E$_{\rm 2g}$) electric quadrupolar degrees of freedom in localized $5f^2$ ($J = 4$) states are playing an important role in the magnetic toroidal dipole order and magnetic-field-induced phases of UNi$_4$B, and evidence some of the U ions remain in the paramagnetic state even if the system undergoes magnetic toroidal ordering.
