AI总结:

本研究发现烧绿石$Yb_2(Ti_{1-x}Sn_x)_2O_7$中非磁性离子位点Sn/Ti混合引起的局部畸变可诱导反铁磁基态,首次证明局部畸变是实现磁性相切换的新途径。

摘要:

尽管普遍认为量子磁体中磁性离子掺杂引起的无序通常会产生崎岖的自由能景观,导致缓慢或玻璃态自旋动力学,但与非磁性离子位点掺杂相关的无序/畸变效应仍不明确。在此,通过AC磁化率测量,我们表明烧绿石$Yb_2(Ti_{1-x}Sn_x)_2O_7$非磁性离子位点上Sn/Ti的混合诱导了反铁磁基态,尽管两个母化合物$Yb_2Ti_2O_7$和$Yb_2Sn_2O_7$均呈铁磁序。通过中子全散射进行的局部结构研究揭示了非磁性离子位点的局部畸变及其与磁性相切换的强相关性。我们的研究首次证明,由非磁性离子位点混合引起的局部畸变可能是实现磁性相切换的新途径,而传统上这通过温度、磁场、压力、应变、光等外部刺激获得。

英文摘要:

While it is commonly accepted that the disorder induced by magnetic ion doping in quantum magnets usually generates a rugged free-energy landscape resulting in slow or glassy spin dynamics, the disorder/distortion effects associated with non-magnetic ion sites doping are still illusive. Here, using AC susceptibility measurements, we show that the mixture of Sn/Ti on the non-magnetic ion sites of pyrochlore $Yb_2(Ti_{1-x}Sn_x)_2O_7$ induces an antiferromagnetic ground state despite both parent compounds, $Yb_2Ti_2O_7$, and $Yb_2Sn_2O_7$, order ferromagnetically. Local structure studies through neutron total scattering reveals the local distortion in the non-magnetic ion sites and its strong correlation with the magnetic phase switching. Our study, for the first time, demonstrates the local distortion as induced by the non-magnetic ion site mixture could be a new path to achieve magnetic phase switching, which has been traditionally obtained by external stimuli such as temperature, magnetic field, pressure, strain, light, etc.
