Possible Quantum Paramagnetism in Compressed
Abstract
The result of compression on the magnetic ground state of is studied with x-ray resonant techniques in the diamond anvil cell. The weak interlayer exchange coupling between square-planar 2D layers is easily modified upon compression, with a crossover between magnetic structures around 7 GPa mimicking the effect of an applied magnetic field at ambient pressure. Higher pressures drive an order-disorder magnetic phase transition with no magnetic order detected above 17–20 GPa. The persistence of strong exchange interactions between magnetic moments within the insulating layers up to at least 35 GPa points to a highly frustrated magnetic state in compressed , opening the door for realization of novel quantum paramagnetic phases driven by extended orbitals with entangled spin and orbital degrees of freedom.
