Absence of nematic ordering transition in a diamond lattice: Application to
Abstract
Recent neutron scattering observations by [Plumb et al., Phys. Rev. X 6, 041055 (2016)] reveal that the ground state of is magnetic with two distinct Fe environments, instead of a quantum spin liquid as had been previously thought. Starting with the relevant O(N)-symmetric vector model of , we study how the discrete (Z2) and continuous rotational symmetries are successively broken, yielding nematic and ordered phases. At high temperatures, we find that the nematic order parameter falls as T–γ (γ > 0), and therefore, lacks any distinct nematic ordering temperature. Furthermore, this feature indicates that the three-dimensional diamond lattice of is highly susceptible to the breaking of Ising symmetries, and explains the two distinct Fe environments that are present even at high temperatures, as seen by Mössbauer and far-infrared optical spectroscopy.
