Title: Field-induced magnetic transition and spin fluctuations in the quantum spin-liquid candidate ${CsYbSe}_{2}$

Abstract

Two-dimensional triangular-lattice materials with spin-1/2 are perfect platforms for investigating quantum frustrated physics with spin fluctuations. Here we report the structure, magnetization, heat capacity, and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) results on cesium ytterbium diselenide, CsYbSe₂. There is no long-range magnetic order down to 0.4 K at zero field. The temperature-dependent magnetization, M(T), reveals an easy-plane magnetic anisotropy. A maximum is found in M(T) around T≈1.5 K when magnetic field H is applied in the ab plane, indicating the short-range interaction. The low-temperature isothermal magnetization M(H) shows a one-third plateau of the estimated saturation moment, which is characteristic of a two-dimensional (2D) frustrated triangular lattice. Heat capacity shows field-induced long-range magnetic order for both H||c and H||ab directions. Here, the broad peak in heat capacity and highly damped INS magnetic excitation at T=2 K suggests strong spin fluctuations. The dispersive in-plane INS, centered at the (1/3 1/3 0) point, and the absence of dispersion along the c direction suggest 120° noncollinear 2D-like spin correlations. All these results indicate that the two-dimensional frustrated material CsYbSe₂ can be in proximity to the triangular-lattice quantum spin liquid. We propose an experimental low-temperature H–T phase diagram for CsYbSe₂.

In this paper, we present observations of highly frustrated quasi-two-dimensional (2D) magnetic correlations in the honeycomb lattice layers of the S_eff =1/2 compound γ-BaCo₂(PO₄)₂ (γ-BCPO). Specific heat shows a broad peak comprised of two weak kink features at T_N1~6 K and T_N2~3.5 K, the relative weights of which can be modified by sample annealing. Neutron powder diffraction measurements reveal short range quasi-2D order that is established below T_N1 and T_N2, at which two separate, incompatible, short range magnetic orders onset: commensurate antiferromagnetic correlations with correlation length ξ_c=60±2 Å (T_N1) and in quasi-2D helical domains with ξ_h=350±11 Å (T_N2).

Fe₃PO₄O₃ forms a noncentrosymmetric lattice structure (space group R3m) comprising triangular motifs of Fe³⁺ coupled by strong antiferromagnetic interactions ( | Θ_CW | > 900 K). Neutron diffraction from polycrystalline samples shows that strong frustration eventually gives way to an ordered helical incommensurate structure below T_N =163 K, with the helical axis in the hexagonal ab plane and a modulation length to ~86 Å. The magnetic structure consists of an unusual needlelike correlation volume that extends past 900 Å along the hexagonal c axis but is limited to ~70 Å in the a b plane, despite the three-dimensional nature ofmore »« less

Magnetic phase diagram and multiferroicity of ${Ba}_{3} {MnNb}_{2} O_{9}$ : A spin - $\frac{5}{2}$ triangular lattice antiferromagnet with weak easy-axis anisotropy

Journal Article Lee, M. ; Choi, E. S. ; Huang, X. ; ... - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

Here we have performed magnetic, electric, thermal and neutron powder diffraction (NPD) experiments as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations on Ba₃MnNb₂ O₉. All results suggest that Ba₃MnNb₂ O₉ is a spin-5/2 triangular lattice antiferromagnet (TLAF) with weak easy-axis anisotropy. At zero field, we observed a narrow two-step transition at T_N1 = 3.4 K and T_N2 = 3.0 K. The neutron diffraction measurement and the DFT calculation indicate a 120 spin structure in ab plane with out-of-plane canting at low temperatures. With increasing magnetic field, the 120 spin structure evolves into up-up-down (uud) and oblique phases showing successive magneticmore »« less

Frustrated spin- $\frac{1}{2}$ molecular magnetism in the mixed-valence antiferromagnets ${Ba}_{3} M {Ru}_{2} O_{9} (M = In$ , Y, Lu)

Journal Article Ziat, D. ; Aczel, Adam A. ; Sinclair, R. ; ... - Physical Review B

We have performed magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, muon spin relaxation, and neutron-scattering measurements on three members of the family Ba₃MRu₂O₉, where M=In, Y, and Lu. These systems consist of mixed-valence Ru dimers on a triangular lattice with antiferromagnetic interdimer exchange. Although previous work has argued that charge order within the dimers or intradimer double exchange plays an important role in determining the magnetic properties, our results suggest that the dimers are better described as molecular units due to significant orbital hybridization, resulting in one spin-1/2 moment distributed equally over the two Ru sites. These molecular building blocks form a frustrated,more »« less
