Chemical pressure effects on magnetism in the quantum spin liquid candidates Yb2X2O7 (X=Sn, Ti, Ge)
Abstract
The linear and nonlinear ac susceptibility measurements of Yb-pyrochlores, Yb2X2O7 (X=Sn, Ti, and Ge), show transitions with a ferromagnetic nature at 0.13 and 0.25 K for Yb2Sn2O7 and Yb2Ti2O7, respectively, and an antiferromagnetic ordering at 0.62 K for Yb2Ge2O7. These systematical results (i) provided information about the nature of the unconventional magnetic ground state in Yb2Ti2O7; (ii) realized a distinct antiferromagnetic ordering …
