From order to randomness: Onset and evolution of the random-singlet state in bond-disordered BaCu2(Si1xGex)2

Abstract: Heisenberg-type spin-chain materials have been extensively studied over the years, yet not much is known about their behavior in the presence of disorder. Starting from BaCu 2 Si 2 O 7 , a typical spin-1 /2 chain system, we investigate a series of compounds with different degrees of bond disorder, where the systematic replacement of Si with Ge results in a re-modulation of the Cu 2+ exchange interactions. By combining magnetometry measurements with nuclear magnetic resonance studies we follow the evolution of … Show more

“…The RS state consists of pairs of spin singlets, where the longrange singlets are much weaker than the short ones and the singlets cannot cross 25 . This state has been found universal for a broad class of 1d spin models with random couplings [27][28][29] and has been reported recently in spin-chain materials such as Ba 5 CuIr 3 O 12 30 and BaCu 2 (Si 1−x Ge x ) 2 O 31 .…”

“…On the other side, certain types of quenched disorders in QSL candidates are suggested to expedite a quantum disordered or random-singlet state against long-range magnetic order [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. The conspicuous effects of the disorder have been showcased in the H-intercalated iridate H 3 LiIr 2 O 6 [17,18].…”

“…This indicates a distribution of relaxation rates, reflecting the inequivalence of NMR sites, in turn due to the intrinsic disorder (see, for instance, refs. [36,37]). However, we find that both parameters depend only weakly on temperature and show no discontinuities or an unusual behaviour near T c .…”
