Magnetic properties of a quantum spin ladder in proximity to the isotropic limit

Résumé

We report on the synthesis, crystal structure, magnetic, thermodynamic, and electron-spinresonance (ESR) properties of the coordination complex [Cu2(pz)3(4-HOpy)4](ClO4)4 [pz = pyrazine; 4-HOpy = 4-hydroxypyridine]. This material is identified as a spin-1/2 Heisenberg ladder system with exchange-coupling parameters Jrung/kB = 12.1(1) K and J leg /kB = 10.5(3) K [Jrung/J leg = 1.15(4)]. For single crystals our measurements revealed two critical fields, µ0Hc1 = 4.63(5) T and µ0Hc2 = 22.78(5) T (for H ∥ a *), separating the gapped spin-liquid, gapless Tomonaga-Luttinger-liquid, and fully spin-polarized phase. No signature of a field-induced transition into a magnetically ordered phase was found at temperatures down to 0.5 K. The material bridges an important gap by providing an excellent physical realization of an almost isotropic spin-1/2 strong-rung Heisenberg ladder system with modest exchange-coupling energy and critical-field scales.
