摘要:

我们通过单晶生长、磁力测量、中子衍射、x射线磁性圆二色性(XMCD)、μ子自旋旋转($μ$ SR)和小角中子散射(SANS)研究了等价取代Mott绝缘体Y $_{1-x}$ La $_{x}$ TiO $_{3}$($x$ $\leq$ 0.3)的磁有序基态.我们发现,在接近铁磁(FM)-反铁磁(AFM)相边界的La浓度$x_c$ $\approx$ 0.3的磁转变温度的降低是伴随着强烈的抑制体和局部有序磁矩,随着体积的磁有序和顺磁区域的分离。热相变不显示传统的二阶行为,因为既没有一个明确的签名动态临界行为,也没有幂律发散的磁相关长度被发现的研究范围内的替代,这一发现变得越来越明显的替代。最后,从SANS和磁强计测量,我们辨别出一个交叉从易轴易平面磁晶各向异性增加La取代。这些结果表明,在接近相界时,磁结构发生了复杂的变化。

英文摘要:

We explore the magnetically-ordered ground state of the isovalently-substituted Mott-insulator Y$_{1-x}$La$_{x}$TiO$_{3}$ for $x$ $\leq$ 0.3 via single crystal growth, magnetometry, neutron diffraction, x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD), muon spin rotation ($μ$SR) and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). We find that the decrease in the magnetic transition temperature on approaching the ferromagnetic (FM) - antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase boundary at the La concentration $x_c$ $\approx$ 0.3 is accompanied by a strong suppression of both bulk and local ordered magnetic moments, along with a volume-wise separation into magnetically-ordered and paramagnetic regions. The thermal phase transition does not show conventional second-order behavior, since neither a clear signature of dynamic critical behavior nor a power-law divergence of the magnetic correlation length is found for the studied substitution range; this finding becomes increasingly obvious with substitution. Finally, from SANS and magnetometry measurements, we discern a crossover from easy-axis to easy-plane magneto-crystalline anisotropy with increasing La substitution. These results indicate complex changes in magnetic structure upon approaching the phase boundary.
