摘要:

具有蜂窝结构的强自旋轨道耦合磁性系统可以提供键方向相互作用,这可能导致Kitaev量子自旋液体和奇异的任意子激发。然而,在Kitaev系统中,对真实材料中的关键成分之一$-$紊乱$-$的研究要少得多。在这里,我们合成了一个三方$_2$ O $_{6-δ}$与$δ\approx 0.25$,它由二维蜂窝状Ir平面与边缘共享IrO $_6$八面体。第一性原理计算和实验测量表明,电子系统是带隙的,并且应该没有磁矩,因为Ir $^{5+}$离子没有未成对电子。然而,在材料中观察到了显著的磁性,并且它可以归因于最有可能来自氧空位的紊乱。在0.05 K以下没有发现磁有序,磁化率和零场比热均呈幂律变化,比热在磁场下呈单参数标度变化。这些结果为$_2$ O $_{6-δ}$中存在无规单重态相提供了有力的证据,它为自旋轨道纠缠的铱酸盐和Kitaev材料家族提供了不同的成员。

英文摘要:

Strong spin-orbital-coupling magnetic systems with the honeycomb structure can provide bond-directional interactions which may result in Kitaev quantum spin liquids and exotic anyonic excitations. However, one of the key ingredients in real materials$-$disorders$-$has been much less studied in Kitaev systems. Here we synthesized a trigonal SrIr$_2$O$_{6-δ}$ with $δ\approx 0.25$, which consists of two-dimensional honeycomb Ir planes with edge-sharing IrO$_6$ octahedra. First-principles computation and experimental measurements suggest that the electronic system is gapped, and there should be no magnetic moment as the Ir$^{5+}$ ion has no unpaired electrons. However, significant magnetism has been observed in the material, and it can be attributed to disorders that are most likely from oxygen vacancies. No magnetic order is found down to 0.05 K, and the low-temperature magnetic properties exhibit power-law behaviors in magnetic susceptibility and zero-field specific heat, and a single-parameter scaling of the specific heat under magnetic fields. These results provide strong evidence for the existence of the random singlet phase in SrIr$_2$O$_{6-δ}$, which offers a different member to the family of spin-orbital entangled iridates and Kitaev materials.
