摘要:

在高磁场(高达$34$ T)中测量的比热,使我们能够隔离的低温戈薇贡献,同时移走外来肖特基的贡献。kagome贡献遵循原始的幂律$C_{p}(T\rightarrow0)\propto T^α$与$α\sim1.5$,并发现在温度$1\leq T\leq4$ K下,$28$和$34$ T之间是场无关的。这些是严重的限制,当涉及到复制使用低温外推高温系列扩展。如果大约$10$ %的可果美位点没有贡献,我们设法再现实验观察结果。在$0$和$34$ T之间,计算出的比热具有微小的场依赖性,然后支持零场中的代数温度依赖性,典型的临界自旋液体基态。有效稀释的可果美平面的需要进行了讨论,并可能与存在的铜离子的interplane锌网站。在非常低的温度和中等的领域,我们也报告了一些小的领域引起的异常的总比热,并开始详细的相图。

英文摘要:

Measuring the specific heat of herbertsmithite single crystals in high magnetic fields (up to $34$ T) allows us to isolate the low-temperature kagome contribution while shifting away extrinsic Schottky-like contributions. The kagome contribution follows an original power law $C_{p}(T\rightarrow0)\propto T^α$ with $α\sim1.5$ and is found field-independent between $28$ and $34$ T for temperatures $1\leq T\leq4$ K. These are serious constrains when it comes to replication using low-temperature extrapolations of high-temperature series expansions. We manage to reproduce the experimental observations if about $10$ % of the kagome sites do not contribute. Between $0$ and $34$ T, the computed specific heat has a minute field dependence then supporting an algebraic temperature dependence in zero field, typical of a critical spin liquid ground state. The need for an effective dilution of the kagome planes is discussed and is likely linked to the presence of copper ions on the interplane zinc sites. At very low temperatures and moderate fields, we also report some small field-induced anomalies in the total specific heat and start to elaborate a phase diagram.
