Anomalous Spin Response in Non-centrosymmetric Compounds

Abstract

We examine static spin susceptibilities ${\chi }_{\alpha \beta }(\mathbf{q})$ of spin components $S_{\alpha }$ and $S_{\beta }$ in the non-centrosymmetric tetragonal system. These show anomalous momentum dependences like ${\chi }_{xx}(\mathbf{q})-{\chi }_{yy}(\mathbf{q})\sim q_x^2-q_y^2$ and ${\chi }_{xy}(\mathbf{q})+{\chi }_{yx}(\mathbf{q})\sim q_x{q}_y$, which vanish in centrosymmetric systems. The magnitudes of the anomalous spin susceptibilities are enhanced by the on-site Coulomb interaction, especially, around an ordering wave vector. The significant and anomalous momentum dependences of these susceptibilities are explained by a group theoretical analysis. As the direct probe of the anomalous spin susceptibility, we propose a polarized neutron scattering experiment.
