文摘
We report on the results of magnetic susceptibility and high field magnetization measurements on single crystals of SrCo2V2O8, which is regarded as an S = 1/2 quasi one-dimensional Ising-like antiferromagnet and is almost isostructural to BaCo2V2O8 that has exhibited a field-induced order-to-disorder transition. The magnetization measurements have been performed at 1.4 K below the Néel temperature TN = 4.8 K in pulsed fields of up to 50 T. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility parallel to the c-axis (chain axis) has a broad maximum near 40 K, which is typical of a low dimensional antiferromagnet, while the susceptibilities perpendicular to the c-axis do not show such a maximum. The magnetization at 1.9 K along the c-axis shows a steep increase at 3.8 T as in BaCo2V2O8, corresponding to the field-induced order-to-disorder transition. The magnetization curve along the c-axis up to the saturation magnetization is well fitted to the magnetization curve calculated by the exact solution based on the Bethe ansatz for an S = 1/2 XXZ model, and this analysis provides parameter values for the exchange constant J/kB = 78 K, the anisotropic exchange parameter ɛ = 0.50, and the g-value along the c-axis gc = 6.1. In contrast, the magnetization curves perpendicular to the c-axis show gradual increase up to 50 T.
