Thermodynamic and single-ion properties of Tb3+ within the collective paramagnetic-spin liquid state of the frustrated pyrochlore antiferromagnet Tb2Ti2O7
Abstract
In a recent paper [J. S. Gardner et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 1012 (1999)] it was found that the Tb3+ magnetic moments in the Tb2Ti2O7 antiferromagnetic pyrochlore lattice of corner-sharing tetrahedra remain in a collective paramagnetic state down to 70 mK. In this paper we present results from dc magnetic susceptibility, specific-heat data, inelastic neutron-scattering measurements, and crystal-field calculations that strongly suggest that (i) …
