Abstract:In RbCoCl 3 , the magnetic Co 2+ ions form weakly coupled Ising chains arranged on a triangular lattice. We have investigated the structure and magnetism in RbCoCl 3 by high-resolution x-ray diffraction and neutron scattering measurements on powder and single-crystal samples between 1.5 and 300 K. Upon cooling, the Co 2+ spins develop one-dimensional antiferromagnetic correlations along the chain axis (c axis) below 90 K. Below the first Néel temperature, T N1 = 28 K, a partial three-dimensional magnetic order… Show more
“…1(b)], frustrating the AF interchain interactions. They typically show two magnetic ordering transitions, which in RbCoCl 3 occur at T N 1 = 28 K and T N 2 = 12 K [21]. Thus, in contrast to CoNb 2 O 6 and BaCo 2 V 2 O 8 , different chains experience different environments at different temperatures.…”

“…Three high-quality RbCoCl 3 single crystals of total mass 7.6 g were grown by the Bridgman technique in a moving vertical furnace [21] ter LET (ISIS, UK) [24]. High-statistics data were collected with incident energy E i = 25 meV and (00L) perpendicular to the incident beam, at temperatures of 4, 18, and 35 K, i.e.…”

“…The partially disordered AF (PDAF) [18,34] state between T N 2 and T N 1 is characterized primarily by a decrease in FI interchain order [inset, Fig. 3(c)], while the staggered magnetization within each chain is also impacted [21] by thermally excited domain walls [35]. Although 3D order is lost above T N 1 , both susceptibility and diffuse scattering measurements [21] suggest that anomalously slow short-range correlations persist up to 60−80 K, and we will quantify this effect.…”

We have used neutron spectroscopy to investigate the spin dynamics of the quantum (S ¼ 1=2) antiferromagnetic Ising chains in RbCoCl 3 . The structure and magnetic interactions in this material conspire to produce two magnetic phase transitions at low temperatures, presenting an ideal opportunity for thermal control of the chain environment. The high-resolution spectra we measure of two-domain-wall excitations therefore characterize precisely both the continuum response of isolated chains and the "Zeeman-ladder" bound states of chains in three different effective staggered fields in one and the same material. We apply an extended Matsubara formalism to obtain a quantitative description of the entire dataset, Monte Carlo simulations to interpret the magnetic order, and finite-temperature density-matrix renormalization-group calculations to fit the spectral features of all three phases.

“…It has been found that a composite geometry consisted of Ising chains in a two-dimensional array can inherit the excellent traits of both geometries. For * zhiyingzhao@fjirsm.ac.cn example, in the S = 1/2 stacked Ising triangular lattice antiferromagnets (TAFs) ACoX 3 (A = Rb, Cs; X = Cl, Br) and Ca 3 Co 2 O 6 , in which Ising Co chains are arranged in a triangular lattice, not only the domain-wall excitations of one-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) Ising chain [26,27], but also the magnetization plateau and partially disordered state in triangular lattice [28][29][30][31] are observed. Besides, a disordered ground state is also found in Ba 3 Co 2 O 6 (CO 3 ) 0.7 due to its honeycomb structure [32,33].…”
S = 1/2 Ising kagome antiferromagnets (KAFs) are rare in reality. In this work, we report the magnetic ground state and field-induced transitions of an S = 1/2 Ising antiferromagnet with a stacked kagome geometry, Na5Co15.5Te6O36. Upon cooling, magnetic susceptibility measurement reveals three successive magnetic transitions at T1 = 45.2 K, T2 = 35.4 K, and T3 ∼ 20 K. When the magnetic field is applied along the Ising c axis, a strikingly anomalous initial magnetization lying outside the hysteresis loop is observed below T3. Through the detailed characterizations, the magnetic field vs temperature phase diagram is established. A partially disordered antiferromagnetic state is proposed below T1, which becomes frozen below T3. Na5Co15.5Te6O36 is therefore a promising candidate for S = 1/2 Ising KAFs, and this unique composite structure may shed light on the exploratory path for S = 1/2 Ising KAFs.
Magnetically
active atomic distances may impact the magnetic ordering
in a given system both directly and indirectly. We synthesize three
novel quasi-one-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid cobalt
chloride chain compounds (CH3NH3CoCl3, CH(NH2)2CoCl3, and C(NH2)3CoCl3) and characterize their magnetic and
thermodynamic properties. These materials crystallize in a hexagonal
perovskite-type structure consisting of chains of face-sharing Co–Cl
octahedra separated by the respective organic cation. Temperature-
and field-dependent magnetic susceptibility analyses reveal that each
compound possesses antiferromagnetic intrachain coupling and that
the strength of the correlations is comparable across the three materials.
Moreover, the interchain Co–Co distance, which depends on the
size of the organic cation, is directly related to the temperature
at which long-range magnetic ordering occurs.
