Abstract

Here, magnetization measurements for magnetic fields $${{\mu}_{0}}H$$ up to 60 T are reported for the noncentrosymmetric spin–chain metal Yb₂Fe₁₂P₇. These measurements reveal behavior that is consistent with Ising-like spin chain magnetism that produces pronounced spin degeneracy. In particular, we find that although a Brillouin field dependence is observed in M(H) for $$H\bot ~c$$ with a saturation moment that is close to the expected value for free ions of Yb³⁺, non-Brillouin-like behavior is seen for $$H~\parallel ~c$$ with an initial saturation moment that is nearly half the free ion value. In addition, hysteretic behavior that extends above the ordering temperature $${{T}_{\text{M}}}$$ is seen for $$H~\parallel ~c$$ but not for $$H~\bot ~c$$ , suggesting out-of-equilibrium physics. This point of view is strengthened by the observation of a spin reconfiguration in the ordered state for $$H~\parallel ~c$$ which is only seen for $$T\leqslant {{T}_{\text{M}}}$$ and after polarizing the spins. Together with the heat capacity data, these results suggest that the anomalous low temperature phenomena that were previously reported are driven by spin degeneracy that is related to the Ising-like one dimensional chain-like configuration of the Yb ions.

The Impact of Structural Distortions on the Magnetism of Double Perovskites Containing 5d¹ Transition-Metal Ions

Journal Article da Cruz Pinha Barbosa, Victor ; Xiong, Jie ; Tran, Phuong Minh ; ... - Chemistry of Materials

Five double perovskites, each containing a transition-metal ion with a 5d¹ configuration, have been studied to better understand the surprising diversity of magnetic ground states seen in these isoelectronic compounds. Ba₂ZnReO₆ adopts the cubic double perovskite structure and magnetically orders below 16 K, with a canted ferromagnetic structure and a saturated magnetization of ~0.24 μ_B/Re. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism indicates a substantial orbital moment of approximately 0.4 μ_B/Re that opposes the spin moment. The structures of Ba₂NaOsO₆ (canted ferromagnet, T_C = 7 K) and Ba₂LiOsO₆ (antiferromagnet, T_N = 8 K) are reinvestigated using time-of-flight neutron powder diffraction and found tomore »« less

Spin frustration in M{sup II}[C(CN){sub 3}]{sub 2} (M = V, Cr). A magnetism and neutron diffraction

Journal Article Manson, J L ; Ressouche, E ; Miller, J S - Inorganic Chemistry

Three-dimensional coordination network solids of M{sup II}[C(CN){sub 3}]{sub 2} (M = V, Cr) composition possess interpenetrating rutile-like network structures. Each [C(CN){sub 3}]{sup {minus}} bonds to three different metal ions in a triangular array, affording a geometrical topology akin to a Kagome lattice leading to competing spin exchange interactions and spin frustration. The crystal and magnetic structure of Cr{sup II}[C(CN){sub 3}] was determined by Rietveld refinement of the powder neutron diffraction data at 2 and 15 K and belongs to the orthorhombic space group Pmna [a = 7.313(1) {angstrom}, b = 5.453(1) {angstrom}, c = 10.640(1) {angstrom}, Z = 2, Tmore »« less

Experimental and theoretical characterization of the magnetic properties of CuF{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}(pyz) (pyz = pyrazine) : a two-dimensional quantum magnet arising from super-superexchange interactions through hydrogen bonded paths.

Journal Article Manson, J L ; Conner, M C ; McConnell, A C ; ... - J. Am. Chem. Soc.

The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the new linear chain coordination polymer CuF{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}(pyz) (pyz = pyrazine) were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction at various temperatures, SQUID magnetometry, pulsed-field magnetization, ESR, muon-spin relaxation ({mu}SR), and electronic structure calculations. Each Cu{sup 2+} ion of CuF{sub 2}(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}(pyz) is located at a distorted CuF{sub 2}O{sub 2}N{sub 2} octahedron with axial elongation along the Cu?N bonds. These octahedra are tethered together by strong F...H-O hydrogen bonds to yield two-dimensional (2D) square nets in the bc-plane that are linked along the a-direction by pyrazine linkages.

Successive magnetic orderings in the Ising spin chain magnet DyNi₅Ge₃

Journal Article Ge, H. ; Zhang, L. ; Zhao, N. ; ... - Physical Review Materials

In this report, we investigated a new rare-earth-based one-dimensional Ising spin chain magnet DyNi₅Ge₃ by means of magnetization, specific heat, and powder neutron diffraction measurements. Due to the crystalline electrical field splitting, the magnetic Dy ions share an Ising-like ground doublet state. Owning to the local point symmetry, these Ising moments form into two canted magnetic sublattices, which were further confirmed by the angle-dependent magnetization measurement. In zero fields, two successive antiferromagnetic phase transitions were found at temperatures T_N1=6K and T_N2=5K, respectively. Only part of the moments are statically ordered in this intermediate state between T_N1 and T_N2. Powder neutronmore »« less

Neutron diffraction and specific heat studies on the magnetic ordering in the [Fe{sup II}({delta})Fe{sup II}({lambda})(ox){sub 2}(Phen){sub 2}]{sub n} molecular magnet

Journal Article Ho, C J ; Her, J L ; Sun, C P ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

The magnetic characteristics of the molecular magnet [Fe{sup II}({delta})Fe{sup II}({lambda})(ox){sub 2}(Phen){sub 2}]{sub n}, having chemical formula C{sub 28}H{sub 16}Fe{sub 2}N{sub 4}O{sub 8} for unity, has been studied by magnetization, neutron diffraction, and field-dependent specific heat-measurements. In the high-temperature regime (T>T{sub m}), the one-dimensional Ising chain model with alternate Lande factors is applied to describe its quasiferrimagnetic behavior as temperature approaches T{sub m}. In the low-temperature region (T<T{sub m}), the increase of interchain interactions gives rise to long-range magnetic ordering as indicated by an anomaly in specific heat. Furthermore, an intrinsic antiparallel alignment of spins with a net ferrimagnetic structure ismore »« less
