O
, a member of the pyroxene family, was studied using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetization and specific heat measurements as well as single-crystal neutron diffraction maps confirm two successive magnetic transitions at 8.8 and 5.8~K, consistent with previous studies. The observed spin-wave excitations emerge from the incommensurate magnetic Bragg peaks corresponding to the propagation vector
, and extend up to energies of about 1.5 meV. In the low-temperature helical phase, the spin dynamics of the Fe
ions is well described by a simple linear spin-wave model. The observed excitations can be modeled using a spin Hamiltonian that includes three primary exchange interactions. Our results show that no single exchange interaction dominates the spin dynamics. The similar strengths of the intrachain and interchain couplings point to the fact that the magnetic interactions in aegirine are three-dimensional, rather than being confined along one direction. As a result, the system cannot be considered quasi-one-dimensional, as previously suggested, and calls for further investigations.

被引用回数:14 パーセンタイル:97.77(Multidisciplinary Sciences)Kagome metals with van Hove singularities (VHSs) near the Fermi level can host intriguing quantum phenomena, including chiral loop currents, electronic nematicity, and unconventional superconductivity. However, unconventional magnetic states driven by VHSs, such as spin-density waves (SDWs), have yet to be observed experimentally in kagome metals. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation of the magnetic and electronic structure of the layered kagome metal CeTi
Bi
, where the Ti kagome electronic structure interacts with a magnetic sublattice of Ce
= 1/2 moments. Our findings establish the rare-earth Kagome metals LnTi3Bi4 as a model platform where characteristic electronic structure of the kagome lattice plays a pivotal role in magnetic order.

The electronic band structure of kagome metals is the basis for a growing number of intriguing physical phenomena. Here we focus on the case of Ce
pseudospin-1/2 local moments coupled by a Ti-derived Kagome electronic structure in the material CeTi
Bi
. Neutron scattering measurements under applied magnetic fields reveal that CeTi
Bi
exhibits a rich temperature-field phase diagram where an incommensurate spin-density wave (SDW) ground state coexists with a commensurate magnetic modulation. Remarkably, ARPES and DFT investigations reveal that the van Hove singularities (VHSs) of the kagome bands near the Fermi level are nested by vectors which coincide with the observed magnetic propagation vectors. This correspondence suggests a VHS-driven mechanism for SDW formation and provides an interesting counterpart to the charge density waves observed in other kagome metals. Our results establish that CeTi
Bi
offers a rare opportunity to explore intertwined kagome Fermiology and quantum-magnetic spin textures.

The spin dynamics in the natural mineral aegirine, NaFeSi
O
, which exhibits multiferroic properties, was studied using elastic and inelastic neutron scattering. Magnetism in pyroxenes arises from competing intra- and interchain exchanges that stabilize a variety of commensurate and incommensurate states. The incommensurate helical ground state remains robust, with no metamagnetic transitions observed and only gradual spectral changes under field. A phase diagram constructed in terms of the exchange ratios
and
captures the transition between commensurate and incommensurate regimes and unifies magnetic behavior across different pyroxenes. Despite structural variations (
vs
), the exchange topology and resulting magnetic frustration are closely related. These results establish NaFeSi
O
as a benchmark for understanding exchange-driven magnetism and field-stable spin dynamics in pyroxenes with three-dimensional magnetic coupling.

に属し、有限磁場・温度のみで存在する特異な磁場誘起秩序相をもつ。巨大なホール抵抗に加え、中性子・共鳴X線による研究から、この磁場誘起秩序相において磁気スキルミオン格子が実現していることを報告した。MnSiなどのd電子系と比べ、1/10程度の極めて短周期であることに加え、強い印加磁場異方性の存在など異なる特徴を有していることから、新たなメカニズムによる形成が示唆されている。最近Gd化合物を中心にf電子系での磁気スキルミオン化合物が相次いで発見され、短周期など共通する特徴が見出される一方で、EuPtXでは印加磁場方向により、ホール異常を伴う複数の磁場誘起秩序相の存在や、立方晶としては極めて低対称の秩序波数(
=(0.09, 0.20, -0.28))など、固有の特徴が見出されている。今回、磁場誘起秩序相について、単結晶中性子回折、小角散乱を駆使し、異方性を中心に調べた結果を報告する。
