Abstract
- We report the single-crystal growth of Mn <subscript>2</subscript> V <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>7</subscript> and the results of magnetic susceptibility, high-field magnetization up to 55 T and high-frequency electric spin resonance (ESR) measurements for its low-temperature α phase. Two antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering at 17.5 K and 3 K and obvious magnetic anisotropy are observed in α -Mn <subscript>2</subscript> V <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>7</subscript> upon cooling. In pulsed high magnetic fields, the compound reaches the saturation magnetic moment of ∼10.5 μ <subscript>B</subscript> for each molecular formula at around 45 T after two undergoing AFM phase transitions at H <subscript>c1</subscript> ≈ 16 T, H <subscript>c2</subscript> ≈ 34.5 T for H //[11-0] and H <subscript>sf1</subscript> = 2.5 T, H <subscript>sf2</subscript> = 7 T for H //[001]. In these two directions, two and seven resonance modes are detected by ESR spectroscopy, respectively. The ω <subscript>1</subscript> and ω <subscript>2</subscript> modes of H //[11-0] can be well described by two-sublattice AFM resonance mode with two zero-field gaps at 94.51 GHz and 169.28 GHz, indicating a hard-axis feature. The seven modes for H //[001] are partially separated by the critical fields of H <subscript>sf1</subscript> and H <subscript>sf2</subscript> , displaying the two signs of spin-flop transition. The fittings of ω <subscript>c1</subscript> and ω <subscript>c2</subscript> modes yield zero-field gaps at 69.50 GHz and 84.73 GHz for H //[001], confirming the axis-type anisotropy. The saturated moment and gyromagnetic ratio indicate the Mn <superscript>2+</superscript> ion in α -Mn <subscript>2</subscript> V <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>7</subscript> is in a high spin state with orbital moment completely quenched. A quasi-one-dimensional magnetism with a zig-zag-chain spin configuration is suggested in α -Mn <subscript>2</subscript> V <subscript>2</subscript> O <subscript>7</subscript> , due to the special neighbor interactions caused by a distorted network structure with honeycomb layer.<br /> (© 2023 IOP Publishing Ltd.)
