Spin-lattice coupling induced phase transition in theS=2 frustrated antiferromagnet CuMnO2

Résumé

The crystal and magnetic structures of the layered oxide crednerite CuMnO2 have been studied by neutron powder diffraction. In this system, which is topologically representative of a frustrated square lattice with nearest (J1) and diagonal next-nearest- (J2) neighbor interactions, three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering is observed below TN=65 K, with propagation vector k1=(−1/21/21/2). Frustration is relieved through a strong magnetoelastic coupling to the lattice, evidenced by a structural phase transition from a monoclinic (C2/m) to a strained triclinic C1̅ phase as magnetic order sets in. The magnetic order observed, which is described as spins antiferromagnetically aligned along [1-1 0] and ferromagnetically aligned along [1 1 0], corresponds to the so-called collinear antiferromagnetic order predicted for a frustrated two-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on a square lattice for J2/J1>0.5 in the presence of spin-lattice coupling.
