Evolution of field-induced metastable phases in the Shastry-Sutherland lattice magnet TmB4

Abstract: The appearance of a plateau in the magnetization of a quantum spin system subject to continuously varying magnetic field invites the identification of a topological quantization. Indeed, the magnetization plateaus at 1/8 and 1/2 of saturation in TmB 4 have been suggested to be intrinsic, resulting from such a topological quantization, or, alternatively, to be metastable phases. By means of neutron-and x-ray-scattering experiments and magnetization measurements, we show that the 1/8 plateau is metastable, arisi… Show more

“…These results appear to be consistent with the observations in Ref. 25 , where in this part of the phase diagram many long-ranged ordered phases with different propagation vectors are observed, in particular when the applied field drives the system from one plateau phase to another. One should also mention that interesting field and temperature dependent effects are observed in other REB 4 compounds, e.g.…”

“…Similarly, by means of neutron- and X-ray-scattering experiments and magnetization measurements, it was shown in Ref. 25 that the 1 / 8 FP is metastable, arising because the spin dynamics is frozen below T ≈ 4 . 5 K.…”

“…As a consequence, many RB 4 compounds show a number of competing phases at low temperatures [12]. A seemingly generic feature in the RB 4 compounds, which raised considerable interest, is the appearance of fractional magnetization plateaus as seen in NdB 4 [13], TbB 4 [14,15], HoB 4 [16], ErB 4 [16,17], and TmB 4 [18][19][20]. While many frustrated systems realize quantum magnets, rare-earth ions exhibit large magnetic moments, which makes rare-earth compounds prime systems for investigating frustrated behavior in the classical limit.…”

“…In the magnetization curve of TmB 4 also various plateaus were observed with values 1/2, 1/8 of the saturation magnetization M sat [12,15]. Recently it was argued that the 1/8 plateau is metastable, arising because the spin dynamics is frozen below T ≈ 4.5 K [15,16].…”
