Valence bond glass on an fcc lattice in the double Perovskite Ba2YMoO6.

چکیده
We report on the unconventional magnetism in the cubic B-site ordered double perovskite Ba2YMoO6, using ac and dc magnetic susceptibility, heat capacity and muon spin rotation. No magnetic order is observed down to 2 K while the Weiss temperature is approximately -160 K. This is ascribed to the geometric frustration in the lattice of edge-sharing tetrahedra with orbitally degenerate Mo5+ s=1/2 spins. Our experimental results point to a gradual freezing of the spins into a disordered pattern of spin singlets, quenching the orbital degeneracy while leaving the global cubic symmetry unaffected, and providing a rare example of a valence bond glass.

Low-temperature spin dynamics of a valence bond glass in Ba2YMoO6
We carried out ac magnetic susceptibility measurements and muon spin relaxation spectroscopy on the cubic double perovskite Ba2YMoO6, down to 50mK. Below∼1K the muon relaxation is typical of a magnetic insulator with a spin-liquid type ground state, i.e. without broken symmetries or frozen moments. However, the ac susceptibility revealed a dilute-spin-glass-like transition below ∼1K. Antiferrom...

Single and double equilibrium bond lengths of the fcc-C60 crystal were calculated in the absence and presence of the endohedral C atom as an impurity doped into each C60 cluster, i.e., fcc-C@C60, by means of fully-relaxed self-consistent calculations within the density functtional theory (DFT) employing the full potential-augmented plane waves plus local orbital (FP-APW+lo) method. The result s...
متن کاملBond valence analysis of the cubic perovskite SnTaO3: confirmation of its existence
The existence of the cubic perovskite phase SnTaO3 has been confirmed by using the bond valence model. The bond valence analysis of the crystal structure of SnTaO3 involved (i) evaluating the reliability of the bond valence parameters reported earlier for Sn(II)—O bonds; (ii) determining the hitherto unreported bond valence parameters for Ta(IV)—O bonds; (iii) calculating the bond valence sums ...

An improved understanding of the correlation between the electronic properties of Mn-O bonds, activity and stability of electro-catalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is of great importance for an improved catalyst design. Here, an in-depth study of the relation between lattice structure, electronic properties and catalyst performance of the perovskite Ca1-xPrxMnO₃ and the first-orde...
متن کاملThe Valence Bond Glass phase
We show that a new glassy phase can emerge in presence of strong magnetic frustration and quantum fluctuations. It is a Valence Bond Glass. We study its properties solving the Hubbard-Heisenberg model on a Bethe lattice within the large N limit introduced by Affleck and Marston. We work out the phase diagram that contains Fermi liquid, dimer and valence bond glass phases. This new glassy phase ...
