NaYbO2 has been reported as a possible host for the quantum spin-liquid state. Here, the composition-dependent polycrystalline Na1xYbO2 (x=0, 0.03, and 0.07) has been investigated by combining high-field magnetizations and inelastic neutron scattering techniques. For the x=0 sample, no signature of a magnetic order is observed down to 0.3 K. Inelastic neutron scattering measurement suggests a continuous low-energy excitation spectrum centered at momentum transfer (Q)1.25Å1 and extending up to energy transfer (E) ∼ 2.0 meV. In contrast, x=0.03 and 0.07 samples exhibit magnetic transitions at 1.1 and 2.3 K, respectively. High-field magnetization measurements indicate similar behaviors for x=0 and 0.03 samples including plateaulike features at the 1/3 saturated magnetization, which implies that the spin disorder in the x=0 sample might be suppressed preceding the emergence of the up-up-down phase. This composition- and field-dependent study allows us to construct complete phase diagrams indicating that NaYbO2 is a promising candidate for the quantum spin-liquid state in close proximity to the antiferromagnetic instability tuned by the application of magnetic fields as well as controlling the concentration of Na+ ion vacancies.

量子自旋液体候选物NaYbO2中的磁场和成分调谐反铁磁不稳定性

Ø2据报道,它可能是量子自旋液体态的宿主。在这里,取决于成分的多晶ñ一种1个-XbØ2X=0,0.03和0.07)已通过结合高场磁化强度和非弹性中子散射技术进行了研究。为了X=0 样品,直到0.3 K都没有观察到磁阶的信号。非弹性中子散射测量表明,以动量传递为中心的连续低能量激发谱 1.25一种-1个 并扩展到能量传递(Ë)〜2.0 meV。相反,X=0.030.07和0.07的样品分别在1.1和2.3 K处显示出磁跃迁。高场磁化强度测量表明类似行为X=0 和0.03个样品在1/3的饱和磁化强度处具有高原样特征,这表明样品中的自旋无序 X=0样品在上-下-下阶段出现之前可能被抑制。这项与成分和场有关的研究使我们能够构建完整的相图,表明Ø2 是量子自旋液体态的一个有前途的候选者,它紧邻通过施加磁场以及控制浓度来调节的反铁磁不稳定。 ñ一种+ 离子空位。
