Title: Anomalous magnetic behavior of Ba 2 CoO 4 with isolated CoO 4 tetrahedra

Abstract

The dimensionality of the electronic and magnetic structure of a given material is generally predetermined by its crystal structure. Here, using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering combined with magnetization measurements, we discover unusual magnetic behavior in three-dimensional (3D) Ba2CoO4. In spite of isolated CoO4 tetrahedra, the system exhibits a 3D noncollinear antiferromagnetic order in the ground state with an anomalously large Curie-Weiss temperature of 110 K compared to TN=26 K. More unexpectedly, spin dynamics displays quasi-two-dimensional spin-wave dispersion with an unusually large spin gap, and one-dimensional magnetoelastic coupling. Our results postulate that Ba2CoO4 is a unique system for exploring the interplay between isolated polyhedra, low-dimensional magnetism, and spin states in oxides.
