摘要:

A-网站有序铬酸盐尖晶石LiGa 1-xInxCr 4 O 8主机的网络大小交替自旋3/2铬+四面体被称为“呼吸”烧绿石晶格。对于x=0.05的组合物,在母体x=0材料中观察到的复杂的磁结构有序被Tf=11 K处的单个跃迁所取代,这归因于强自旋-晶格耦合引起的共线π阶。我们在这里提出了一个非弹性中子散射研究的自旋动力学在这种组合物。高于Tf,动态散射函数S(Q,E)是ungapped和准弹性的,类似于未掺杂的LiGaCr 4 O 8。低于Tf,光谱权重之间的分裂广泛的非弹性功能在5.8毫电子伏和朝向弹性线。前一个特征可以归因于反铁磁环内的自旋进动,通过自旋哈密顿量中的有效双二次自旋晶格项提升到有限能量。

英文摘要:

The A-site ordered chromate spinels LiGa1-xInxCr4O8 host a network of size-alternating spin-3/2 Cr3+ tetrahedra known as a 'breathing' pyrochlore lattice. For the x=0.05 composition, the complex magneto-structural ordering observed in the parent x=0 material is replaced by a single transition at Tf=11 K, ascribed to the collinear nematic order caused by strong spin-lattice coupling. We present here an inelastic neutron scattering study of the spin dynamics in this composition. Above Tf , the dynamical scattering function S(Q,E) is ungapped and quasi-elastic, similar to undoped LiGaCr4O8. Below Tf , the spectral weight splits between a broad inelastic feature at 5.8 meV and toward the elastic line. The former feature can be ascribed to spin precessions within antiferromagnetic loops, lifted to finite energy by the effective biquadratic spin-lattice term in the spin Hamiltonian.
