$J_1-J_2$ Square-Lattice Heisenberg Antiferromagnets with 4$d^1$ spins: AMoOPO${}_4$Cl (A = K, Rb)

Abstract

Magnetic properties of AMoOPO${}_4$Cl (A = K, Rb) with Mo${}^{5+}$ ions in the 4$d^1$ electronic configuration are investigated by magnetization, heat capacity and NMR measurements on single crystals, combined with powder neutron diffraction experiments. The magnetization measurements reveal that they are good model compounds for the spin-1/2 $J_1-J_2$ square lattice magnet with the first and second nearest-neighbor interactions. Magnetic transitions are observed at around 6 and 8 K in the K and Rb compounds, respectively. In contrast to the normal Néel-type antiferromagnetic order, the NMR and neutron diffraction experiments find a columnar antiferromagnetic order for each compound, which is stabilized by a dominant antiferromagnetic $J_2$. Both compounds realize the unusual case of two interpenetrating $J_2$ square lattices weakly coupled to each other by $J_1$.
