Low-temperature ordered phases of the spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ XXZ chain system Cs${}_2$CoCl${}_4$

Abstract

In this study the magnetic order of the spin-1/2 XXZ chain system Cs${}_2$CoCl${}_4$ in a temperature range from 50 mK to 0.5 K and in applied magnetic fields up to 3.5 T is investigated by high-resolution measurements of the thermal expansion and the specific heat. Applying magnetic fields along a or c suppresses $T_{\text{N}}$ completely at about 2.1 T. In addition, we find an adjacent intermediate phase before the magnetization saturates close to 2.5 T. For magnetic fields applied along b, a surprisingly rich phase diagram arises. Two additional transitions are observed at critical fields ${\mu }_0{H}_{SF1}\simeq 0.25$ T and ${\mu }_0{H}_{SF2}\simeq 0.7$ T, which we propose to arise from a two-stage spin-flop transition.
