在量子磁体TiOCl中,拉曼激活声子的温度依赖性中发现了巨大的异常,表明存在扩展的涨落制度。这一制度与早期NMR实验中确定的pseudogap相一致。所观察到的大,本地自旋间隙提出起源于耦合自旋/晶格波动。在100 K以下,在长程晶体学扭曲相中,存在具有约2Dspin< 430 K的较小的全局自旋带隙的二聚基态。这种转变也标志着系统的维度交叉。
Giant anomalies are found in the temperature dependence of Raman-active phonons in the quantum magnet TiOCl, suggesting the presence of an extended fluctuation regime. This regime coincides with a pseudogap phase identified in earlier NMR experiments. The observed large, local spin-gap is proposed to origin from coupled spin/lattice fluctuations. Below 100 K, in the long-range crystallographically distorted phase, a dimerized ground state with a smaller, global spin-gap of about 2Dspin< 430 K exists. This transition also marks a dimensionality cross-over of the system.
