Magnetic properties of a spin-1/2 octagonal lattice

Abstract

We successfully synthesized a verdazyl-based complex, ($p$-Py-V-$p$-CN)${}_2$[Cu(hfac)${}_2$]. Molecular orbital calculations reveal that three types of antiferromagnetic (AF) interactions are involved in the formation of a spin-1/2 distorted octagonal lattice composed of the verdazyl radical and Cu spins. The magnetic properties of the compound exhibited contributions from AF correlations and a phase transition to an AF ordered state at approximately $T_{\mathrm{N}}$ = 2.5 K. Below $T_{\mathrm{N}}$, we observed a $T^2$ dependence of the specific heat, indicating dominant two-dimensional AF correlations within the octagonal lattice. The magnetization curve in the low-temperature region exhibited a low-field linear increase, subsequent bending at 1/3 magnetization, and high-field nonlinear increase. We reproduced the observed unique magnetic behavior through the numerical analysis based on the octagonal lattice. These results demonstrate that the present compound exhibits magnetic properties characteristic of octagonal lattice topology.
