Title: Single-ion properties of the $S_{eff}$ = $\frac{1}{2}$ XY antiferromagnetic pyrochlores $Na A^{'} {Co}_{2} F_{7}$ ( $A^{'} = {Ca}^{2 +}, {Sr}^{2 +}$ )

Abstract

The antiferromagnetic pyrochlore material NaCaCo₂F₇ is a thermal spin liquid over a broad temperature range (≈140 K down to T_F=2.4 K), in which magnetic correlations between Co²⁺ dipole moments explore a continuous manifold of antiferromagnetic XY states. The thermal spin liquid is interrupted by spin freezing at a temperature that is ~2% of the mean-field interaction strength, leading to short-range static XY clusters with distinctive relaxation dynamics. Here we report the low-energy inelastic neutron scattering response from the related compound NaSrCo₂F₇, confirming that it hosts the same static and dynamic spin correlations as NaCaCo₂F₇. We then present the single-ion levels of Co²⁺ in these materials as measured by inelastic neutron scattering. An intermediate spin-orbit coupling model applied to an ensemble of trigonally distorted octahedral crystal fields accounts for the observed transitions. The single-ion ground state of Co²⁺ is a Kramers doublet with a strongly XY-like g tensor (gxy/gz~3). The local disorder inherent from the mixed pyrochlore A sites (Na⁺/Ca²⁺ and Na⁺/Sr²⁺) is evident in these measurements as exaggerated broadening of some of the levels. A simple model that reproduces the salient features of the single-ion spectrum produces approximately 8.4% and 4.1% variation in the z and xy components of themore »« less

We report high-frequency/high-field electron spin resonance (ESR) and high-field magnetization studies on single crystals of the bond-disordered pyrochlore NaCaCo₂F₇. Frequency- and temperature-dependent ESR investigations above the freezing temperature T_f ~ 2.4 K reveal the coexistence of two distinct magnetic phases. Here, a cooperative paramagnetic phase, evidenced by a gapless excitation mode, is found along with a spin-glass phase developing below 20 K which is associated with a gapped low-energy excitation. Effective g factors close to 2 are obtained for both modes, in line with pulsed high-field magnetization measurements which show an unsaturated isotropic behavior up to 58 T at 2more »« less

Crystal field excitations from ${Yb}^{3 +}$ ions at defective sites in highly stuffed ${Yb}_{2} {Ti}_{2} O_{7}$

Journal Article Sala, Gabriele ; Maharaj, Dalini D. ; Stone, Matthew B. ; ... - Physical Review B

The pyrochlore magnet Yb₂Ti₂O₇ has been proposed as a quantum spin ice candidate, a spin liquid state expected to display emergent quantum electrodynamics with gauge photons among its elementary excitations. However, Yb₂Ti₂O₇'s ground state is known to be very sensitive to its precise stoichiometry. Powder samples, produced by solid-state synthesis at relatively low temperatures, tend to be stoichiometric, while single crystals grown from the melt tend to display weak “stuffing” wherein ~2% of the Yb³⁺, normally at the A site of the A₂B₂O₇ pyrochlore structure, reside as well at the B site. In these samples Yb³⁺ ions should exist inmore »« less

Magnetic structure and dispersion relation of the $S = \frac{1}{2}$ quasi-one-dimensional Ising-like antiferromagnet ${BaCo}_{2} V_{2} O_{8}$ in a transverse magnetic field

Journal Article Matsuda, M. ; Onishi, H. ; Okutani, A. ; ... - Physical Review B

Here, BaCo₂V₂O₈ consists of Co chains in which a Co²⁺ ion carries a fictitious spin 1/2 with Ising anisotropy. We performed elastic and inelastic neutron scattering experiments in BaCo₂V₂O₈ in a magnetic field perpendicular to the c axis which is the chain direction. With applying magnetic field along the a axis at 3.5 K, the antiferromagnetic order with the easy axis along the c axis, observed in zero magnetic field, is completely suppressed at 8 T, while the magnetic field gradually induces an antiferromagnetic order with the spin component along the b axis. We also studied magnetic excitations as amore »« less

Highly dispersive magnons with spin-gap-like features in the frustrated ferromagnetic $S = \frac{1}{2}$ chain compound ${Ca}_{2} Y_{2} {Cu}_{5} O_{10}$ detected by inelastic neutron scattering

Journal Article Matsuda, Masaaki ; Ma, Jie ; Garlea, Vasile O. ; ... - Physical Review B

In this paper, we report inelastic neutron scattering experiments in Ca₂Y₂Cu₅O₁₀ and map out the full one-magnon dispersion which extends up to a record value of 53 meV for frustrated ferromagnetic (FM) edge-sharing CuO₂ chain (FFESC) cuprates. A homogeneous spin-1/2 chain model with a FM nearest-neighbor (NN), an antiferromagnetic (AFM) next-nearest-neighbor (NNN) inchain, and two diagonal AFM interchain couplings (ICs) analyzed within linear spin-wave theory (LSWT) reproduces well the observed strong dispersion along the chains and a weak one perpendicularly. The ratio α=|J_a2/J_a1| of the FM NN and the AFM NNN couplings is found as ~0.23, close to the critical point α_c=1/4 which separates ferromagnetically and antiferromagnetically correlated spiral magnetic ground states in single chains, whereas α_c>0.25 for coupled chains is considerably upshifted even for relatively weak IC. Although the measured dispersion can be described by homogeneous LSWT, the scattering intensity appears to be considerably reduced at ~11.5 and ~28 meV. The gaplike feature at 11.5 meV is attributed to magnon-phonon coupling whereas based on density matrix renormalization group simulations of the dynamical structure factor the gap at 28 meV is considered to stem partly from quantum effects due to the AFM IC. Another contribution to that gap is ascribed to the intrinsic superstructure from the distorting incommensurate pattern of CaY cationic chains adjacent to the CuO₂ ones. It gives rise to nonequivalent CuO₄ units and Cu-O-Cu bond angles Φ and a resulting distribution of all exchange integrals. The J's fitted by homogeneous LSWT are regarded as average values. The record value of the FM NN integral J₁=24 meV among FFESC cuprates can be explained by a nonuniversal Φ(≠90°) and Cu-O bond length dependent anisotropic mean direct FM Cu-O exchangemore »« less
