AI总结:

通过单晶衍射研究kagomé自旋1/2体系中Zn-Cu位点混合导致的化学-结构无序,发现特定组分下无序消失并出现由磁-声子耦合驱动的低温结构相变,物理性质与Cl同系物相似。

摘要:

通过单晶衍射,我们表征了kagomé自旋$S$-1/2体系herbertsmithite ZnCu$_3$(OH)$_6$Cl$_2$和YCu$_3$(OH)$_{6}$Br$_{2}$[Br$_x$(OH)$_{1-x}$]中由Zn-Cu位点混合引入的化学-结构无序。对于组成为Zn$_{0.95(1)}$Cu$_{2.99(3)}$O$_{5.9(1)}$H$_{5.8(1)}$Cl$_2$的herbertsmithite无孪晶单晶,我们发现在分隔kagomé层的层中,Zn原子被Cu取代,同时kagomé层中也有大量Zn取代Cu。在YCu$_3$(OH)$_{6}$Br$_{2}$[Br$_x$(OH)$_{1-x}$]中,对于中间$x$值存在位点混合无序。与Cl同系物类似,在$x = 1/3$的晶体中无序消失,并出现由强磁-声子耦合驱动的低温结构相变,作为挫败的释放。除这一结构异常外,我们发现这些晶体的物理性质与中间$x$值相比保持不变,且与观察到长程磁有序的Cl同系物非常相似。

英文摘要:

By single crystal diffraction we characterize the chemo-structural disorder introduced by Zn-Cu site mixing in the kagomé spin $S$-1/2 systems herbertsmithite ZnCu$_3$(OH)$_6$Cl$_2$ and YCu$_3$(OH)$_{6}$Br$_{2}$[Br$_x$(OH)$_{1-x}$]. For an untwinned single crystal of herbertsmithite of composition Zn$_{0.95(1)}$Cu$_{2.99(3)}$O$_{5.9(1)}$H$_{5.8(1)}$Cl$_2$ we find substitution by Cu of the Zn atoms in the layers separating the kagomé layers as well as substantial Zn substitution for Cu in the kagomé layers. In YCu$_3$(OH)$_{6}$Br$_{2}$[Br$_x$(OH)$_{1-x}$] site mixing disorder is present for intermediate $x$. Analogous to the Cl homologous system in crystals with $x = 1/3$ disorder is absent and a low-temperature structural transition emerges driven by strong magneto-phonon coupling as a release of frustration. Apart from this structural anomaly we find the physical properties of these crystals unchanged compared to intermediate $x$ and closely resembling the Cl homologue where long-range magnetic order was observed.
