Spinon continuum in the Heisenberg quantum chain compound Sr_2V_3O_9
arXiv (Cornell University)(2023)
摘要
Magnetic excitations in the spin chain candidate Sr_2V_3O_9 have been
investigated by inelastic neutron scattering on a single crystal sample. A
spinon continuum with a bandwidth of ∼22 meV is observed along the chain
formed by alternating magnetic V^4+ and nonmagnetic V^5+ ions.
Incipient magnetic Bragg peaks due to weak ferromagnetic interchain couplings
emerge when approaching the magnetic transition at T_N∼ 5.3 K while the
excitations remain gapless within the instrumental resolution. Comparisons to
the Bethe ansatz, density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) calculations, and
effective field theories confirm Sr_2V_3O_9 as a host of weakly coupled
S = 1/2 chains dominated by antiferromagnetic intrachain interactions of
∼7.1(1) meV.
