Title: Partially disordered state with short-range spin correlation in S = 5 / 2 classical triangular antiferromagnet Ag 2 FeO 2

Abstract

A triangular-lattice antiferromagnet of Ag 2 FeO 2 was synthesized under high pressure. Its magnetism was studied in terms of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity, powder neutron scattering, and Mössbauer spectroscopy. The magnetic state of Ag 2 FeO 2 changes successively through a second-order phase transition at T p = 36 K and a crossover at T c = 20 K. A partially disordered (PD) state appears below T p , in which 2/3 spins are ordered and the remaining 1/3 spins fluctuate, which state persists at least down to 5 K. The spin correlation length starts to grow at T p ; however, it remains very short ( 27 Å) below T c . This exotic magnetism is concerned with strong frustration in the classic antiferromagnetic triangular lattice.
