By means of electron spin resonance we systematically studied Cu(Qnx)Cl2 (Qnx - quinoxaline), a Heisenberg S = 1/2 spin-ladder compound with Jleg = 18.6 K and Jrung= 34.2 K. The linewidth, g-factor shift, and absorption intensity were investigated in the temperature range from 2 to 300 K. The low-temperature measurements revealed an ESR line splitting, which is a signature of a finite anisotropy. The observed results were analyzed using mean-field theory. The uniform Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction was suggested to play a key role, strongly affecting the ESR properties of this compound at low temperature.
The work was partly supported by the DFG.
