摘要:

电子的集体行为,挫折诱导量子涨落和量子材料中的纠缠是一些新兴的量子现象与奇异的准粒子激发,是高度相关的技术应用。在此,我们提出了我们的热力学和μ子自旋弛豫测量,补充从头算密度泛函理论和精确的对角化结果,在最近合成的阻挫反铁磁体Li 4CuTeO 6,其中Cu 2+离子(S = 1/2)构成无序的自旋链和梯子沿晶体学[101]方向与弱随机链间耦合。我们的热力学实验既没有检测到长程磁有序,也没有自旋冻结到45 mK,尽管存在强烈的反铁磁相互作用的Cu 2+的时刻,导致一个大的有效居里-外斯温度为-154 K。μ子自旋弛豫结果与热力学结果一致。的温度和磁场缩放的磁化强度和比热揭示了一个数据崩溃指向的无序驱动的相关和动态的基态在这个沮丧的反铁磁体内的随机单重态的存在。

英文摘要:

Collective behaviour of electrons, frustration induced quantum fluctuations and entanglement in quantum materials underlie some of the emergent quantum phenomena with exotic quasi-particle excitations that are highly relevant for technological applications. Herein, we present our thermodynamic and muon spin relaxation measurements, complemented by ab initio density functional theory and exact diagonalization results, on the recently synthesized frustrated antiferromagnet Li4CuTeO6, in which Cu2+ ions (S = 1/2) constitute disordered spin chains and ladders along the crystallographic [101] direction with weak random inter-chain couplings. Our thermodynamic experiments detect neither long-range magnetic ordering nor spin freezing down to 45 mK despite the presence of strong antiferromagnetic interaction between Cu2+ moments leading to a large effective Curie-Weiss temperature of -154 K. Muon spin relaxation results are consistent with thermodynamic results. The temperature and magnetic field scaling of magnetization and specific heat reveal a data collapse pointing towards the presence of random-singlets within a disorder-driven correlated and dynamic ground-state in this frustrated antiferromagnet.
