Unravelling competing microscopic interactions at a phase boundary: A single-crystal study of the metastable antiferromagnetic pyrochlore Yb 2 Ge 2 O 7

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements from our newly synthesized single crystals of the structurally metastable antiferromagnetic pyrochlore Yb 2 Ge 2 O 7 . We determine the four symmetry-allowed nearest-neighbor anisotropic exchange parameters via fits to linear spin wave theory supplemented by fits of the high-temperature specific heat using the numerical linked-cluster expansion method. The exchange parameters so-determined are strongly correlated to the values determined for the g-tensor components, as previously noted for the related Yb pyrochlore Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 . To address this issue, we directly determined the g-tensor from electron paramagnetic resonance of 1% Yb-doped Lu 2 Ge 2 O 7 , thus enabling an unambiguous determination of the exchange parameters. Our results show that Yb 2 Ge 2 O 7 resides extremely close to the classical phase boundary between an antiferromagnetic Γ 5 phase and a splayed ferromagnet phase. By juxtaposing our results with recent ones on Yb 2 Ti 2 O 7 , our work illustrates that the Yb pyrochlore oxides represent ideal systems for studying quantum magnets in close proximity to classical phase boundaries.

Manipulating Cu vacancy in Yb triangular lattice Materials: Investigating the quantum disordered compound CuYbSe 2 and spin glass Cu 2.73 ⁢YbP 2

Yb-based triangular lattice materials have attracted significant attention due to their potential for hosting exotic magnetic quantum states. In this paper, we report the structural, magnetic, and thermodynamic properties of two Yb triangular lattice compounds with vacancy disorder at nonmagnetic Cu sites: CuYbSe 2 and Cu 2.73 ⁢YbP 2 . Single-crystal x-ray diffraction determines notable Cu-site vacancies in both materials. Unlike a single Cu site with 0.5 occupancy in CuYbSe 2 , Cu 2.73 ⁢YbP 2 only presents 27% vacancies on one of three Cu sites. Magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate dominant antiferromagnetic interactions between Yb 3+ ions. The effective magnetic moment is consistent with an effective spin-1/2 state of Yb 3+ . CuYbSe 2 exhibits strong magnetic anisotropy between in-plane and out-of-plane directions with the estimated exchange interactions 𝐽 𝑎 /𝑘 B = 6.48 K and 𝐽 𝑐 /𝑘 B = 2.55 K. No magnetic ordering is observed down to 0.4 K, supporting its quantum disordered ground state and candidacy as a quantum spin liquid. In contrast, Cu 2.73 ⁢YbP 2 shows clear evidence of spin freezing at 4.5 K in both magnetization and heat capacity data, indicating a spin glass state. The field-induced magnetic orders are found in CuYbSe 2 . These results highlight the critical role of structural vacancies in perturbing Yb-based triangular lattices. In conclusion, we demonstrate that while the intrinsic Yb triangular lattices are comparable, the presence of Cu vacancies can fundamentally alter the magnetic ground state—tuning the system between quantum disordered and spin glass behavior.
