区分Ce-烧绿石八极U(1)自旋液体的热力学与光谱学性质

Distinguishing thermodynamics and spectroscopy for octupolar U(1) spin liquid of Ce-pyrochlores

AI总结:

针对Ce基烧绿石八极U(1)自旋液体,研究揭示热力学与光谱学测量分别探测单自旋子和自旋子对激发的差异,推导不同测量的激发能隙关系,为自旋液体分数化识别提供方法。

摘要:

受自旋液体候选材料Ce₂Sn₂O₇和Ce₂Zr₂O₇(其中Ce离子携带偶极-八极双重态)研究进展的启发,我们分析了八极U(1)自旋液体的热力学测量与光谱学测量之间的差异。由于八极U(1)自旋液体的特殊性质以及选择性塞曼耦合,均匀磁化率和光谱学测量仅能探测自旋子激发,而比热可测量所有激发。在厘清每种测量的探测内容后,我们发现热力学测量携带单自旋子的信息,而光谱学测量则与自旋子对相关。这种差异直接推导出不同测量手段得到的激发能隙之间的多重性关系,涉及的测量包括均匀磁化率、奈特位移与NMR(核磁共振)的1/T₁自旋-晶格弛豫、μSR(μ子自旋弛豫)以及非弹性中子散射测量。我们希望本工作能为识别八极U(1)自旋液体及其他自旋液体中的分数化现象提供有效方法。

英文摘要:

Inspired by the progress on the spin liquid candidates Ce$_2$Sn$_2$O$_7$ and Ce$_2$Zr$_2$O$_7$ where the Ce ions carry the dipole-octupole doublets, we analyze the distinction between the thermodynamic and spectroscopic measurements for the octupolar U(1) spin liquid. Due to the peculiar properties of octupolar U(1) spin liquid and the selective Zeeman coupling, both uniform susceptibility and the spectroscopic measurements only probe the spinon excitations, while the specific heat measures all excitations. After clarifying the contents in each measurement, we observe that, thermodynamics carries the information of single spinon, while the spectroscopy is associated with spinon pairs. Such distinction immediately leads to the multiplicity relation of the excitation gaps from different measurements that include the uniform susceptibility, Knight shift and $1/T_1$ spin lattice relaxation of NMR and $μ$SR, and the inelastic neutron scattering measurements. We hope this work provides a useful recipe for the identification of fractionalization in the octupolar U(1) spin liquid and other spin liquids.
