چکیده

The chemical selectivity and great sensitivity of the Extended X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy technique allowed the determination, in the paramagnetic phase, of the structural distortions induced by doping in the spin-Peierls CuGeO3 compound. The distorted environments were analyzed as a function of concentration, magnetic nature of impurity and the substitution site (Ni, Mn and Zn impurities on the Cu site, Si impurity on the Ge site). This has led to estimate the variation of the angles and pair distances, and hence to evaluate the magnetic coupling along the Cu chains in the vicinity of the impurities. The antiferromagnetic interaction between Cu first neighbors in the pure sample is found to be weakened around Ni, almost cancelled in the case of Mn doping, and even to change sign, producing a ferromagnetic coupling for Si doping. More generally, the structural distortions on a local scale are shown to be key parameters for the understanding of the magnetic properties of doped spin-Peierls compounds.

Effect of structural distortions on the magnetism of doped spin - Peierls

The chemical selectivity and great sensitivity of the Extended X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy technique allowed the determination, in the paramagnetic phase, of the structural distortions induced by doping in the spin-Peierls CuGeO3 compound. The distorted environments were analyzed as a function of concentration, magnetic nature of impurity and the substitution site (Ni, Mn and Zn impurities on...

Rapid suppression of the spin gap in Zn-doped CuGeO3 and SrCu2O3.

The influence of nonmagnetic impurities on the spectrum and dynamical spin structure factor of a model for CuGeO3 is studied. A simple extension to Zn-doped Sr Cu2 O3 is also discussed. Using exact diagonalization techniques and intuitive arguments we show that Zn doping introduces states in the spin-Peierls gap of CuGeO3. This effect can be understood easily in the large dimerization limit whe...

Observation of an antiferromagnetic resonance in the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO3 doped with Zn.

The results of ESR measurements on a single crystal of the spin-Peierls compound CuGeO3 doped with 4% Zn are reported. We have observed, for the first time, ESR signals in the antiferromagnetic phase below the Néel temperature(TN = 4.2 K). The excitation energies at zero field are 26.4 and 40.6GHz. The frequency versus magnetic field relation of these ESR signals is well explained by the theory...

Electron Spin Resonance of Ni-doped CuGeO3 in the paramagnetic, spin-Peierls and antiferromagnetic states: Comparison with non-magnetic impurities

We have performed Electron Spin Resonance measurements on single crystals of the doped spin-Peierls compounds CuGe1−ySiyO3 and Cu1−xMxGeO3 with M = Zn, Mg, Ni (x, y ≤ 0.1). The first part of our experiments was performed in the paramagnetic and spin-Peierls phases at 9.5, 95 and 190 GHz. All non-magnetic impurities (Si, Zn and Mg) were found to hardly affect the position and linewidth of the si...

Spin - 1 2 Periodic Nonuniform Xx Chains and the Spin - Peierls Instability

Since the discovery of the inorganic spin-Peierls compound CuGeO3 the interest in the properties of spin-Peierls systems considerably increased [1]. The models that can be examined exactly play an important role in clarifying the generic features of such systems. An example of such a model is the spin1 2 XX chain that was studied in several papers [2, 3, 4] (note, however, that in the nonadiaba...
