Metastable and localized Ising magnetism in αCoV2O6 magnetization plateaus

Abstract: α-CoV 2 O 6 consists of j eff = 1 2 Ising spins located on an anisotropic triangular motif with magnetization plateaus in an applied field. We combine neutron diffraction with low temperature magnetization to investigate the magnetic periodicity in the vicinity of these plateaus. We find these steps to be characterized by metastable and spatially short-range (ξ ∼ 10 Å) magnetic correlations with antiphase boundaries defining a local periodicity of T 2 = ↑↓ to T 3 = ↑↑↓ and T 4 = ↑↑↓↓ or ↑↑↑↓ spin arrangements.… Show more

“…In this paper, we address the nature of the magnetic order in CaFe 2 O 4 and offer an explanation for the differing behavior observed in powders and single crystals. The low-temperature A phase is shown to be metastable, with short-range correlations, analogous to the field-induced metastable states recently reported in CoV 2 O 6 [14], in which antiphase boundaries order to form a new phase with a different translational symmetry [15]. These arguments are supported by neutron scattering data at both high and low temperatures, demonstrating the nature of the magnetic fluctuations in single-crystal CaFe 2 O 4 .…”

“…energetically separated from other single-ion levels and is a valid approximation in many compounds with an orbital degeneracy [74][75][76][77][78] where spin-orbit coupling is a perturbation and is parameterized through anisotropic terms [79]. With the presence of spin-orbit coupling of a similar magnitude to the exchange coupling, as in VI 3 , this approach is not valid due to the mixing (Fig.…”
