Magnetic excitations of the Cu${}^{2+}$ quantum spin chain in Sr${}_3$CuPtO${}_6$

Abstract

We report the magnetic excitation spectrum as measured by inelastic neutron scattering for a polycrystalline sample of Sr${}_3$CuPtO${}_6$. Modeling the data by the 2+4 spinon contributions to the dynamical susceptibility within the chains, and with interchain coupling treated in the random phase approximation, accounts for the major features of the powder-averaged structure factor. The magnetic excitations broaden considerably as temperature is raised, persisting up to above 100 K and displaying a broad transition as previously seen in the susceptibility data. No spin gap is observed in the dispersive spin excitations at low momentum transfer, which is consistent with the gapless spinon continuum expected from the coordinate Bethe ansatz. However, the temperature dependence of the excitation spectrum gives evidence of some very weak interchain coupling.
