Magnetization Measurements of Antiferromagnetic SrCu2(BO3)2 using a VSM

چکیده
SrCu2(BO3)2 is a low-dimensional antiferromagnetic compound that has undergone many different magnetization studies; however, to date none have addressed the temperature dependence of the magnetization. Measuring this sample’s magnetism versus magnetic field at varying temperatures will provide insight into its quantum mechanical nature and help strengthen or refute the current theory. This experiment utilizes a vibrating sample magnetometer and DC magnet at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory and covers a magnetic field range up to 30.1 T and a temperature range from 1.4 to 12.3 K. Our data show that the magnetization of the sample does in fact depend the temperature of the sample.

Theory of magnetization plateaux in the Shastry-Sutherland model.
Motivated by the remarkable properties of SrCu2(BO3) 2 in a magnetic field, we use perturbative continuous unitary transformations to determine the magnetization plateaux of the Shastry-Sutherland model, unveiling an unexpected sequence of plateaux progressively appearing at 2/9, 1/6, 1/9, and 2/15 upon increasing the interdimer coupling. We predict that a 1/6 plateau should be present in SrCu2...
متن کاملField-Induced Effects of Anisotropic Magnetic Interactions in SrCu2(BO3)2
We observed a field-induced staggered magnetization in the 2D frustrated dimer singlet spin system SrCu2(BO3)2 by B NMR, from which the magnitudes of the intradimer Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction and the staggered g-tensor were determined. These anisotropic interactions cause singlet-triplet mixing and eliminate a quantum phase transition at the expected critical field Hc for gap closing. The...

We use a variety of series expansion methods at both zero and finite temperature to study an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin model proposed recently by Miyahara and Ueda for the quasi-two-dimensional material SrCu2(BO3)2. We confirm that this model exhibits a first-order quantum phase transition at T50 between a gapped dimer phase and a gapless Néel phase when the ratio x5J8/J of nearestand n...
متن کاملCollective Magnetic Excitations in SrCu2(BO3)2
Several properties make SrCu2(BO3)2 a unique and one of the most interesting quantum magnets [1]. This compound is a 2D spin system with a disordered ground state even at very low temperatures and a spin gap of about 24 cm (3 meV) in the magnetic excitation spectrum [1, 2]. It has been established that the elementary excitations in this system, which consist of a transition from the singlet (S ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution study of spin excitations in the singlet ground state of SrCu2(BO3)2.
High-resolution, inelastic neutron scattering measurements on SrCu2(BO3)2, a realization of the Shastry-Sutherland model for two-dimensional Heisenberg antiferromagnets, reveal the dispersion of the three single triplet excitations continuously across the (H,0) direction within its tetragonal basal plane. These measurements also show distinct Q dependencies for the single and multiple triplet e...
