Single crystal synthesis and magnetic properties of a Shastry-Sutherland lattice compound BaNd2 ZnS5

Journal Article · · Physical Review Materials
In this study, single crystals of a Shastry-Sutherland magnetic semiconductor, BaNd2 ZnS5, were synthesized through a high-temperature solution growth technique. Physical properties were characterized by powder and single crystal x-ray diffraction, temperature- and field-dependent magnetization, and temperature-dependent specific heat measurements. BaNd2 ZnS5 orders antiferromagnetically at 2.9 K, with magnetic moments primarily aligned within the $ab$ -plane. Magnetic isothermal measurements show metamagnetic transitions at ~ 15 kOe for the [110] direction and ~ 21 kOe for the [100] direction. Estimated magnetic entropy suggests a double ground state for each neodymium ion.
