Micro-Raman spectroscopy and magnetic characterization of the s=1/2 Dimer system CuTe₂O₅ — •A.-M. Carsteanu¹, J. Schoenes¹, P. Lemmens^2,3, R.K. Kremer³, and M.

The quantum antiferromagnet CuTe₂O₅ represents a clean s=1/2 dimer system of Cu²⁺, 3d⁹ moments with negligible interdimer interaction or frustration. The monoclinic crystal structure contains well separated Cu₂O₁₀ dioctahedra. The magnetic susceptibility can very well be fitted to the Bleaney expression using an antiferromagnetic exchange constant of J=90K. We have investigated the Raman response of the system as function of temperature and compare these results with a detailed factor group analysis. Further magnetic and Raman investigations involved Zn- and Ni-substitutions on the Cu site of this system. We acknowledge support by DFG SPP1073.
