Title: Field-induced spin density wave and spiral phases in a layered antiferromagnet

Abstract

In this study, we determine the low-field ordered magnetic phases of the S=1 dimerized antiferromagnet Ba₃Mn₂O₈ using single-crystal neutron diffraction. We find that for magnetic fields between μ₀H=8.80T and 10.56T applied along the [110] direction the system exhibits spin density wave order with incommensurate wave vectors of type (η,η,ε). For μ₀H>10.56T, the magnetic order changes to a spiral phase with incommensurate wave vectors only along the [hh0] direction. For both field-induced ordered phases, the magnetic moments are lying in the plane perpendicular to the field direction. The nature of these two transitions is fundamentally different: the low-field transition is a second-order transition to a spin density wave ground state, while the one at higher field, toward the spiral phase, is of first order.

Spiral phase and spin waves in the quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet Ba{sub 2}CuGe{sub 2}O{sub 7}

Journal Article Zheludev, A ; Shirane, G ; Sasago, Y ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

The quasi-two-dimensional square-lattice antiferromagnet Ba{sub 2}CuGe{sub 2}O{sub 7} was studied by neutron scattering and bulk magnetic techniques. An incommensurate magnetic spiral structure with the propagation vector (1+{zeta},1+{zeta},0) ({zeta}=0.027) was observed below {ital T}{sub {ital N}}=3.26 K. Magnetic ordering occurs with a two-dimensional-like critical exponent {beta}{approx_equal}0.15. The spin dynamics can be adequately described by conventional spin-wave theory with two exchange constants: nearest-neighbor in-plane antiferromagnetic coupling {ital J}{sub 1}{approx_equal}0.48 meV and interplane ferromagnetic interaction {ital J}{sub {perpendicular}}{approx_equal}0.013 meV. This set of exchange parameters apparently fails to explain the spiral order. The noncentrosymmetric crystal structure suggests that the incommensurate phase may be themore »« less

Neutron scattering studies of the magnetic order in RNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C

Journal Article Lynn, J W ; Huang, Q ; University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742 ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Neutron diffraction was used to study magnetic order of RNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C (R=Er, Ho, Dy). For Er the system orders antiferromagnetically at T{sub {ital N}}=6.8 K, and this long range order coexists with superconductivity (T{sub {ital c}}=11 K). The magnetic structure is an incommensurate, transversely polarized spin-density-wave state, with the modulation wave vector {delta} along the {ital a} axis and the moments along {ital b}. {delta} has a temperature-independent value of 0.5526 (2{pi}/{ital a}), with the structure squaring up at low temperatures. For R=Ho the moments also prefer to reside in the {ital a}{endash}{ital b} plane, but initially an incommensuratemore »« less

Ba₃NbFe₃Si₂O₁₄ (langasite) is structurally and magnetically single-domain chiral with the magnetic helicity induced through competing symmetric exchange interactions. Using neutron scattering, we show that the spin waves in antiferromagnetic langasite display directional anisotropy. On applying a time-reversal symmetry breaking magnetic field along the c axis, the spin-wave energies differ when the sign is reversed for either the momentum transfer ±more »« less

Interwoven atypical quantum states in CeLiBi 2

Here we report the discovery of CeLiBi₂, the first example of a material in the tetragonal CeTX₂ ( T = transition metal; X = pnictogen) family wherein an alkali cation replaces the typical transition metal. Magnetic susceptibility and neutron powder diffraction measurements are consistent with a crystal-field Γ₆ ground-state Kramers doublet that orders antiferromagnetically below T_N = 3.4 K with an incommensurate propagation wave vector k = ( 0, 0.0724(4), 0.5) that generates a nanometric modulation of the magnetic structure. The best model of the ordered state is an elliptical cycloid with Ce moments primarily residing in the ab plane.more »« less

Phase diagram of the helical structure of a two-subsystem frustrated antiferromagnet

Journal Article Martynov, S. N. - Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics

The expansion of the thermodynamic potential for the two-subsystem antiferromagnet with frustrated intersubsystem isotropic exchange is obtained. It is demonstrated that this expansion contains the first derivatives with respect to the antiferromagnetic vectors of the subsystems, i.e., the Lifshitz invariant. The equation for the temperature-field boundary of the helical phase for the two-subsystem frustrated antiferromagnet is derived by linearizing the variational equations for the minimum free energy within the mean-field approximation. Relationships are obtained for the critical field at T = 0, the angle of canting of moments of the antiferromagnetic sublattices, and the temperature of spontaneous appearance of helicalmore »« less
