Journal Article Chun, Sae Hwan ; Yuan, Bo ; Casa, Diego ; ... - Physical Review Letters

Here, we report a resonant inelastic x-ray scattering study of the magnetic excitation spectrum in a highly insulating Eu ₂Ir ₂O ₇ single crystal that exhibits a metal-insulator transition at T _MI = 111(7) K. A propagating magnon mode with a 20 meV bandwidth and a 28 meV magnon gap is found in the excitation spectrum at 7 K, which is expected in the all-in-all-out magnetically ordered state. This magnetic excitation exhibits substantial softening as the temperature is raised towards T _MI and turns into a highly damped excitation in the paramagnetic phase. Remarkably, the softening occurs throughout the wholemore »« less

Noncollinear Magnetic Structure and Multipolar Order in ${Eu}_{2} {Ir}_{2} O_{7}$

Journal Article Wang, Yilin ; Weng, Hongming ; Fu, Liang ; ... - Physical Review Letters

The magnetic properties of the pyrochlore iridate material Eu ₂Ir ₂O ₇ (5d ⁵) have been studied based on first principles calculations, where the crystal field splitting Δ , spin-orbit coupling (SOC) λ, and Coulomb interaction U within Ir 5 d orbitals all play significant roles. The ground state phase diagram has been obtained with respect to the strength of SOC and Coulomb interaction U , where a stable antiferromagnetic ground state with all-in–all-out (AIAO) spin structure has been found. In addition, another antiferromagnetic state with energy close to AIAO has also been found to be stable. The calculated nonlinearmore »« less

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

Journal Article Ross, Kathryn A. ; Brown, J. M. ; Cava, R. J. ; ... - Physical Review B

The antiferromagnetic pyrochlore material NaCaCo ₂F ₇ is a thermal spin liquid over a broad temperature range (≈140 K down to T _F=2.4 K), in which magnetic correlations between Co ²⁺ 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 NaSrCo ₂F ₇, confirming that it hosts the same static and dynamic spin correlations as NaCaComore »« less

Journal Article Zhu, M. ; Wang, Y. ; Li, P. G. ; ... - Physical Review B

We report the magnetic and electronic properties of the bilayer ruthenate Sr ₃Ru ₂O ₇ upon Fe substitution for Ru. We find that Sr ₃(Ru _1-xFe _x) ₂O ₇ shows spin-glass-like phase below 4 K for x = 0.01 and commensurate E-type antiferromagnetically ordered insulating ground state characterized by the propagation vector q _c = (0.25 0.25 0) for x ≥ 0.03, in contrast to the paramagnetic metallic state in the parent compound with strong spin fluctuations occurring at wave vectors q = (0.09 0 0) and (0.25 0 0).
