High-pressure inelastic neutron scattering study of the anisotropic $S=1$ spin chain [Ni(HF${}_2$)(3-Clpyradine)${}_4$]BF${}_4$

Abstract

[Ni(HF${}_2$)(3-Clpyradine)${}_4$]BF${}_4$ (NBCT) is a one-dimensional (1-D), $S=1$ spin chain material that shows no long-range magnetic order down to thermometer temperatures of 0.1 K. Previous ambient pressure inelastic neutron scattering experiments identified NBCT to be in the large-$D$ quantum paramagnetic phase of the $D/J$ phase diagram, where $D$ is the axial single-ion anisotropy and $J$ is the intrachain superexchange. Here, we extend the previous experiments to be at a hydrostatic pressure of 0.9 GPa. By comparing to density matrix renormalization group calculations, we find $D/J$ increases from 1.5 to 3.2 as pressure increases from 0 GPa to 0.9 GPa, which pushes the system further into the large-$D$ phase.
