Crystal-field interaction and single-ion anisotropy in spin-frustrated antiferromagnet pyrochlore Gd2Ti2O7

  • 1. Department of Physics, University of Kalyani, Kalyani (India)

Description

The geometrically frustrated antiferromagnet Gd2Ti2O7 is an easy-planer anisotropic system in which single ion anisotropy mainly arises due to the considerable admixture of higher Russel-Saunders terms of Gd3+ ion to its ground term 8S. The g-value of the ground CF doublet becomes anisotropic, g parallel = 1.99, g perpendicular = 7.97, instead of the free-ion isotropic value 2. The ground multiplet 8S7/2 splits into 4 doublets with total splitting ∼16 K, thus exhibiting its characteristic specific heat feature below 5 K. (author)
