Successive magnetic phase transitions in -RuCl: XY-like frustrated magnet on the honeycomb lattice
arXiv:1503.03591 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.91.094422
Abstract
The layered compound -RuCl is composed of a honeycomb lattice of magnetic Ru ions with the electronic state. We have investigated the magnetic properties of -RuCl via magnetization and specific heat measurements using single crystals. It was observed that -RuCl undergoes a structural phase transition at K accompanied by fairly large hysteresis. This structural phase transition is expected to be similar to that observed in closely related CrCl. The magnetizations and magnetic susceptibilities are strongly anisotropic, which mainly arise from the anisotropic -factors, i.e., and for magnetic fields parallel and perpendicular to the plane, respectively. These -factors and the obtained entropy indicate that the effective spin of Ru is one-half, which results from the low-spin state. Specific heat data show that magnetic ordering occurs in four steps at zero magnetic field. The successive magnetic phase transitions should be ascribed to the competition among exchange interactions. The magnetic phase diagram for is obtained. We discuss the strongly anisotropic -factors in -RuCl and deduce that the exchange interaction is strongly XY-like. -RuCl is magnetically described as a three-dimensionally coupled XY-like frustrated magnet on a honeycomb lattice.
