Uniform Heisenberg spin chain in sarrabusite Pb5Cu(SeO3)4Cl4 — •Ekaterina Kozlyakova, Artem Moskin, Alisher Murtazoev, Peter Berdonosov, and Alexander Vasiliev — Lomonosov MSU, Moscow, Russia
One-dimensional antiferromagnets have exotic disordered ground states. The uniform half-integer spin chain does not present a gap in the triplet excitation spectrum and it is disordered in an isotropic Heisenberg case. In any real material an ideal S = 1/2 chain cannot exist because an infinitesimal interchain coupling would give rise to long-range magnetic order at finite temperatures. [1, 2] In this work we present novel uniform spin chain compound Pb5Cu(SeO3)4Cl4 that demonstrates no long-range magnetic ordering up to 2 K. Its magnetic susceptibility agrees well with the Bonner-Fisher’s model with J = 129K for Heisenberg AFM S = 1/2 spin chain [3]. Thus, Pb5Cu(SeO3)4Cl4 is one of the very few uniform spin chains where no long-range magnetic ordering or any singlet formation were observed above 2 K, while J is of the order of 100 K.
