Bose-Einstein Condensation of Dilute Magnons inTlCuCl3

Abstract: The recent observation [Oosawa et al. J. Phys. : Condens. Matter 11, 265 (1999)] of the field-induced Néel ordering in a spin-gap magnetic compound TlCuCl3 is interpreted as a Bose-Einstein Condensation of magnons. A mean-field calculation based on this picture is shown to describe well the temperature dependence of the magnetization. The present system opens a new area for studying Bose-Einstein condensation of thermodynamically large number of particles in a grand-canonical ensemble.PACS number 75.10.Jm

“…The spontaneously broken gauge symmetry produces many fundamental properties of superfluid 4 He, such as its two-fluid hydrodynamics, critical exponents, and quantization of circulation. Recent interest in Bose condensation encompasses a broad range of topics 4 , including dilute atomic gases 5 , solid state excitations [6][7][8][9][10][11] , non-linear optical systems 12,13 , neutron stars 14 , and gravitation [15][16][17] . Bulk superfluid 4 He represents the strongly interacting limit of Bosecondensed systems due to the steeply repulsive core of its interatomic potential.…”

“…Above 6 T a fieldinduced Néel order with transverse staggered magnetization is observed, [2] which has been described by a Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons. [1] The ground state of TlCuCl3 is very sensitive to pressure, hydrostatic pressure of order 0.5 GPa is sufficient to induce the Néel order already in zero magnetic field. [3] In order to obtain more information about this drastic influence of pressure we performed high-resolution measurements of the thermal expansion αi = ∂ ln Li/∂T and the magnetostriction ǫi = (Li(H) − Li(0))/Li(0) and derive the uniaxial pressure dependencies of the transition temperatures and fields.…”

“…The magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the bc plane which adds a Zeeman term to the model. For magnetic fields (B) close to the critical field (B c ), Zeeman term competes with the spin exchange interaction and system enters a field induced ferromagnetic state 5,6 . The field induced ferromagnetic phase (B > B c ) has gapped quasi-particles, gapped magnons.…”

“…In this work we have studied the mentioned quantum phase transition based on Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons via a bosonic gas model 7 . Bloch 8 applied the Bose-Einstein quantum statistics to the excitations in solids which gives the basic notion to relate Bose-Einstein of magnons to the magnetic ordering in the original spin model 6,9 .…”
