Coexistence of the long-range and short-range magnetic order components in SrEr${}_2$O${}_4$

Abstract

Single crystal neutron diffraction reveals two distinct components to the magnetic ordering in geometrically frustrated SrEr${}_2$O${}_4$. One component is a long-range ordered $\mathbf{k}=0$ structure which appears below $T_N=0.75$ K. Another component is a short-range incommensurate structure which manifests itself by the presence of a strong diffuse scattering signal. On cooling from higher temperatures down to 0.06 K, the partially ordered component does not undergo a pronounced phase transition. The magnetic moments in the long-range commensurate and short-range incommensurate structures are predominantly pointing along the [001] and [100] axes respectively. The unusual coexistence of two magnetic structures is probed using both unpolarised and XYZ-polarised neutron scattering techniques. The observed diffuse scattering pattern can be satisfactorily reproduced with a classical Monte Carlo simulation by using a simple model based on a ladder of triangles.
