Local probe studies (ESR and NMR) on the BaAg2Cu[VO4]2 quantum magnet — •Y. Krupskaya1, M. Schäpers1, E. Vavilova1,2, A.U.B. Wolter-Giraud1, H.-J. Grafe1, V. Kataev1, A. Möller3, and B. Büchner11IFW Dresden, Germany — 2ZPhTI, Kazan, Russia — 3University of Houston, USA

BaAg2Cu[VO4]2 contains Cu(II) S=1/2 on a distorted triangular lattice. DFT band structure calculations, quantum Monte-Carlo simulations, and high-field magnetization measurements show that the physics of this compound is determined by a superposition of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic uniform spin chains with nearest neighbour exchange couplings of JFM=−19 K and JAFM=9.5 K [1]. Here we report the study of BaAg2Cu[VO4]2 by High-Field/Frequency Electron Spin Resonance (HF-ESR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopies, which probe the local magnetic properties. In the HF-ESR measurements, we observe an anisotropic ESR spectrum typical for the Cu(II) ions and determine the g-tensor, gparal=2.38 and gperp=2.06. Moreover, we see a substantial shift of the ESR lines at temperatures below 40 K indicating the presence of short range magnetic correlations. NMR methods allowed for the investigation of local magnetic fields, the T1 and T2 relaxation times of the 51V sites. A pronounced broadening of the NMR line is observed at temperatures below 60 K which is consistent with the ESR results. We discuss the local probe results with relation to the thermodynamic studies and theory calculations.
