High-temperature antiferromagnetism in Yb based heavy fermion systems proximate to a Kondo insulator

Suzuki, Shintaro*; Takubo, Ko*; Kuga, Kentaro*; Higemoto, Wataru; Ito, Takashi; Tomita, Takahiro*; Shimura, Yasumichi*; Matsumoto, Yosuke*; Bareille, C.*; Wadachi, Hiroki*; et al.

We report our experimental discovery of the transition temperature reaching 20 K in a Yb-based compound at ambient pressure. The Mn substitution at the Al site in an intermediate valence state of $$alpha$$-YbAlB$$_4$$ not only induces antiferromagnetic transition at a record high temperature of 20 K but also transforms the heavy-fermion liquid state in $$alpha$$-YbAlB$$_4$$ into a highly resistive metallic state proximate to a Kondo insulator.

Valence fluctuation phenomena in rare-earth intermetallic compounds have attracted attention because the quantum criticality of the valence transition has been proposed theoretically. Recently, it was found that $$beta$$-YbAlB$$_4$$ shows quantum criticality without tuning and has a strong mixed-valence state. In this study, we measured the magnetization curve and X-ray magnetoabsorption in $$alpha$$-YbAl$$_{1-x}$$Fe$$_x$$B$$_4$$ ($$x=0.115$$), which is a locally isostructural polymorph of $$beta$$-YbAlB$$_4$$. The magnetization and X-ray experiments were performed in fields up to 55 and 40 T, respectively. A small increase in the Yb valence was observed at fields where the magnetization curve exhibited a change in slope.

By means of $$^{27}$$Al NMR studies, we have investigated magnetic excitations and the hybridization effect between Pr 4$$f$$ and conduction electrons in a pair of cubic compounds Pr$$Tr$$$$_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$Tr$$=Ti, V). From Knight shift measurements we have evaluated comparative strengths for the $$c$$-$$f$$ hybridization effect in these compounds and confirm a definite increase of hybridization on replacing Ti with V. Analysis of the spin-lattice relaxation rate $$1/T_1$$ reveals that the spectral width of magnetic fluctuations in crystalline electric field excited states is strongly temperature dependent. This result indicates that magnetic fluctuations are dominated by the strong $$c$$-$$f$$ exchange coupling at high temperatures and thus is nicely consistent with the Kondo picture that features ln$$T$$ dependence of resistivity over the same temperature region.

The valence state of Yb ions in $$alpha$$- and $$beta$$-YbAlB$$_4$$ has been investigated by X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy at temperatures from 2 to 280 K. It is found that the valence gradually increases with increasing temperature toward 3+ and that the characteristic temperature of the valence fluctuations is about 290 K. We also observe a small increase in the Yb valence ($$sim$$ 0.002) in $$beta$$-YbAlB$$_4$$ by a magnetic field of 32 T at 40 K.

Microscopic evidence for long-range magnetic ordering in the $$Gamma$$$$_{8}$$ ground quartet systems Sm$$Tr$$$$_{2}$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$Tr$$: Ti, V, Cr)

Recently, $$RT_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ compounds ($$R$$: rare earth, $$T$$: transition metal) have attracted much attention due to interesting physical properties closely related to their caged-structure. Each $$R$$ ion is confined in a Frank-Kasper cage consisting of 16 Al atoms and the large coordination number leads to strong $$c$$-$$f$$ hybridization. In addition, the Frank-Kasper cage allows various multipole degrees of freedom for the $$f$$-electrons at low $$T$$ because of a highly symmetric crystalline-electric-field (CEF). Among the $$RT_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ series, Pr$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$: Ti, V) and Sm$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$: Ti, V, Cr) exhibit both these features. The $$Gamma_3$$ ground doublet systems Pr$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$: Ti, V) show a phase transition at $$T_O$$ = 2.0K (Ti) and 0.6K (V). The order parameter is believed to be an electric quadrupole active in the $$Gamma_3$$ subspace. A possibility of the quadrupole Kondo effect has been discussed based on characteristic $$T$$-dependence in specific heat, resistivity, and magnetic susceptibility. The $$Gamma_8$$ ground quartet systems Sm$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$: Ti, V, Cr) also exhibit a phase transition at $$T_O$$ = 6.4K (Ti), 2.3K (V), and 1.8K (Cr). A nuclear specific heat study in SmTi$$_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ suggests that the primary order parameter is a magnetic dipole in spite of field-insensitive nature of the phase boundary. A possible importance of a secondarily ordered octupole moment was discussed. We here present a microscopic study of PrTi$$_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ and Sm$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$: Ti, V, Cr) using muon spin relaxation. In PrTi$$_2$$Al$$_{20}$$, no additional local field was observed in the ordered phase. This strongly supports the quadrupole ordering scenario. On the other hand, an appearance of a coherent local field was observed below $$T_O$$ in Sm$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$. This is consistent with the primary magnetic dipole ordering. The frequency distribution suggests that the magnetic structure is possibly different between the Sm$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ compounds.

Spin-orbital short-range order on a honeycomb-based lattice

Nakatsuji, Satoru*; Kuga, Kentaro*; Kimura, Kenta*; Satake, Ryuta*; Katayama, Naoyuki*; Nishibori, Eiji*; Sawa, Hiroshi*; Ishii, Rieko*; Hagiwara, Masayuki*; Bridges, F.*; et al.

Frustrated magnetic materials can remain disordered to the lowest temperatures. Such is the case for Ba$$_3$$CuSb$$_2$$O$$_9$$, which is magnetically anisotropic at the atomic scale but curiously isotropic on mesoscopic length and time scales. We find that the frustration on the triangular lattice is imprinted in a nanostructured honeycomb lattice of Cu$$^{2+}$$ ions that resists a coherent static Jahn-Teller distortion. The resulting two-dimensional random-bond spin-1/2 system on the honeycomb lattice has a broad spectrum of spin-dimer like excitations and low-energy spin degrees of freedom that retain.

Varieties of magnetic states are seen in spinel structural magnets due to spin frustration effect. In particular, much attention is paid on recent study on pyrochlore structural magnet with rare-earth elements because interesting spin state, spin ice or other state, is observed. We have studied on spinel magnet AYb$$_2$$S$$_4$$ to clarify the magnetic ground state by means of muon spin relaxation method. In our measurement, static magnetic ordering state was clearly observed.

A spinel structural system shows a variety of the magnetic state due to its frustration effect. Up to now, we have studied the magnetic ground state of spinel structural system AYb$$_2$$S$$_4$$(A=Cd, Mg) by using muon spin relaxation method and observed the appearance of the magnetic ordering state below 2K in CdYb$$_2$$S$$_4$$ and 1.5K in MgYb$$_2$$S$$_4$$. For systematic study of the frustration effect, we are measuring muon spin relaxation in same structural compounds AYb$$_2$$Se$$_4$$ (A=Cd, Mg). In CdYb$$_2$$Se$$_4$$, the local magnetic field was observed below 2K. In the presentation, we will discuss the detail of the magnetic state.

NMR study of Pr$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$=Ti, V)

In this study, we have performed $$^{27}$$Al NMR/NQR measurements for Pr$$T_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ ($$T$$=Ti, V). $$^{27}$$Al NMR spectra have been measured in a temperature range between 1.4 and 300 K, and the temperature dependence of the Knight shift $$K$$ has been extracted for Al(2) and Al(3). Then, from the so-called $$K$$ vs $$chi$$ plot, the hyperfine coupling constants ($$A_{hf}$$) has been estimated for each site in each compound. A large $$A_{hf}$$ obtained for Al(3) indicates the strong hybridization between Pr and Al-cage. In addition, the stronger hybridization in PrV$$_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ than in PrTi$$_2$$Al$$_{20}$$ is confirmed from the $$A_{hf}$$ values.
