AI总结:

本研究通过气相输运生长RuO2单晶,利用电导、磁化率及中子和X射线衍射实验,证明其在2K以上无磁或结构转变,排除了反铁磁有序,归因于多次衍射。

摘要:

RuO$_2$长期以来被认为是一种顺磁金属,具有理想的金红石型结构,直至低温仍保持该结构,但近期对单晶的研究声称发现了反铁磁有序以及晶体结构中的某些对称性破缺。我们通过气相输运法,分别使用O$_2$或TeCl$_4$作为输运介质,生长了RuO2单晶。这些晶体表现出金属行为,遵循$T^2$低温关系,并具有较小的顺磁磁化率,可归因于泡利顺磁性。电导和磁化率测量均未提供任何在300K至约4K之间存在磁或结构转变的证据。利用中子和X射线辐射进行的全面单晶衍射研究表明,在我们的晶体中,金红石结构持续存在至2K,并显示出近乎完美的化学计量比。先前观察到的对称性禁戒反射可归因于多次衍射。在1.6K下进行的偏振中子单晶衍射实验排除了所提出的有序磁矩大于0.01玻尔磁子的反铁磁结构。

英文摘要:

RuO$_2$ was considered for a long time to be a paramagnetic metal with an ideal rutile-type structure down to low temperatures, but recent studies on single-crystals claimed evidence for antiferromagnetic order and some symmetry breaking in the crystal structure. We have grown single-crystals of RuO2 by vapor transport using either O$_2$ or TeCl$_4$ as transport medium. These crystals exhibit metallic behavior following a $T^2$ low-temperature relation and a small paramagnetic susceptibility that can be attributed to Pauli paramagnetism. Neither the conductance nor the susceptibility measurements yield any evidence for a magnetic or a structural transition between 300K and $\sim$4 K. Comprehensive single-crystal diffraction studies with neutron and X-ray radiation reveal the rutile structure to persist until 2K in our crystals, and show nearly perfect stoichiometry. Previous observations of symmetry forbidden reflections can be attributed to multiple diffraction. Polarized single-crystal neutron diffraction experiments at 1.6K exclude the proposed antiferromagnetic structures with ordered moments larger than 0.01 Bohr magnetons.
