摘要:

通过对多铁性LiFe(WO $_4$)$_2$单晶的比热、磁化率和中子衍射实验,研究了其晶体结构和磁结构。仅考虑两个最近邻的磁相互作用,系统形成$J_1$、$J_2$磁链,但更广泛的相互作用是相当大的。两个不同的磁相表现出长程无公度有序演化在$T_{\text{N}1}\approx 22.2 \text{ K}$和$T_{\text{N}2}\approx 19 \text{ K}$。首先,自旋密度波的发展与位于$ac$平面的时刻。在低于$T_{\text{N}2}$的多铁性相中,LiFe(WO $_4$)$_2$表现出螺旋排列,沿着$b$具有额外的自旋分量。因此,逆Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya机制充分解释了该材料的多铁性行为。一个部分不平衡的多铁性畴分布观察,即使在没有施加电场。对于这两个阶段,只有轻微的温度依赖性的不可逆性进行了观察,并没有相称的阶段出现在低温或在有限的磁场高达$6\text{ T}$。因此,LiFe(WO $_4$)$_2$表现出具有II型多铁性材料的典型跃迁序列的简单相图。

英文摘要:

The crystal and magnetic structure of multiferroic LiFe(WO$_4$)$_2$ were investigated by temperature and magnetic-field dependent specific heat, susceptibility and neutron diffraction experiments on single crystals. Considering only the two nearest-neighbour magnetic interactions, the system forms a $J_1$, $J_2$ magnetic chain but more extended interactions are sizeable. Two different magnetic phases exhibiting long-range incommensurate order evolve at $T_{\text{N}1}\approx 22.2 \text{ K}$ and $T_{\text{N}2}\approx 19 \text{ K}$. First, a spin-density wave develops with moments lying in the $ac$ plane. In its multiferroic phase below $T_{\text{N}2}$, LiFe(WO$_4$)$_2$ exhibits a spiral arrangement with an additional spin-component along $b$. Therefore, the inverse Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya mechanism fully explains the multiferroic behavior in this material. A partially unbalanced multiferroic domain distribution was observed even in the absence of an applied electric field. For both phases only a slight temperature dependence of the incommensurability was observed and there is no commensurate phase emerging at low temperature or at finite magnetic fields up to $6\text{ T}$. LiFe(WO$_4$)$_2$ thus exhibits a simple phase diagram with the typical sequence of transitions for a type-II multiferroic material.
