Magnetic properties of Li2FeSiO4 single crystals — •Fabian Billert, Johannes Werner, Christoph Neef, Changhyun Koo, and Rüdiger Klingeler — Kirchhoff Institute of Physics, Heidelberg University, Heidelberg
Li2FeSiO4 single crystals of the high-temperature Pmnb-phase were grown by means of the travelling-solvent floating-zone technique. The single-crystal structure refinement reveals corner-sharing FeO4 and SiO4 tetrahedra in the ac-layers. Static magnetisation studies reveal long-range antiferromagnetic order below TN=17 K. The maximum of the magnetic suceptibility appears at around 25 K indicating significant antiferromagnetic correlations well above TN. This is corroborated by means of high-frequency electron spin resonance (HF-ESR) measurements which show temperature dependent resonances, i.e. the evolution of local magnetic fields, up to 100 K. Below TN, antiferromagnetic resonance modes are detected and significant zero-field splitting is observed.
