Incommensurate charge order phase in Fe2OBO3 due to geometrical frustration.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The temperature dependence of charge order in Fe2OBO3 was investigated by resistivity and differential scanning calorimetry measurements, Mössbauer spectroscopy, and synchrotron x-ray scattering, revealing an intermediate phase between room temperature and 340 K, characterized by coexisting mobile and immobile carriers, and by incommensurate superstructure modulations with temperature-dependent propagation vector (1/2, 0, tau). The incommensurate modulations arise from specific antiphase boundaries with low energy cost due to geometrical charge frustration.

Phase diagram for a class of spin-2 Heisenberg models interpolating between the square-lattice, the triangular-lattice, and the linear-chain limits
We study the spin1 2 Heisenberg models on an anisotropic two-dimensional lattice which interpolates between the square lattice at one end, a set of decoupled spin chains on the other end, and the triangular-lattice Heisenberg model in between. By series expansions around two different dimer ground states and around various commensurate and incommensurate magnetically ordered states, we establis...
متن کاملTopological Defects and the Spin Glass Phase of Cuprates
– We propose that the spin glass phase of cuprates is due to the proliferation of topological defects of a spiral distortion of the antiferromagnet order. Our theory explains straightforwardly the simultaneous existence of short range incommensurate magnetic correlations and complete a-b symmetry breaking in this phase. We show via a renormalization group calculation that the collinear O(3)/O(2...
متن کاملPossibility of field-induced incommensurate order in quasi-one-dimensional frustrated spin system
We study an incommensurate long-range order induced by an external magnetic field in a quasi-one-dimensional bond-alternating spin system, F5PNN, focusing on the role of the frustrating interaction which can be enhanced by a high-pressure effect. On the basis of the density matrix renormalization group analysis of a microscopic model for F5PNN, we present several H-T phase diagrams for typical ...
متن کاملZero-field incommensurate spin-Peierls phase with interchain frustration in TiOCl.
We report on the magnetic, thermodynamic, and optical properties of the quasi-one-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets TiOCl and TiOBr, which have been discussed as spin-Peierls compounds. The observed deviations from canonical spin-Peierls behavior, e.g., the existence of two distinct phase transitions, have been attributed previously to strong orbital fluctuations. This can be ruled out by ou...
متن کاملOrbital order and Hund's rule frustration in Kondo lattices.
We analyze a microscopic origin of the Kondo effect-assisted orbital order in heavy-fermion materials. By studying the periodic two-orbital Anderson model with two local electrons, we show that frustration of Hund's rule coupling due to the Kondo effect leads to an incommensurate spiral orbital and magnetic order, which exists only inside the Kondo screened (heavy-electron) phase. This spiral s...
