Compared with the intensive investigation on 3d transition metal (TM)-based spin ladder compounds, less attention has been paid to the ones constructed by rare earth (RE) ions. Herein, we report a family of RE-based spin ladder compounds Ba2RE2Ge4O13 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd–Ho) crystallized into a monoclinic structure with the space group C2/c. The RE ions are arranged on a two-leg spin ladder motif along the b-axis, where the rung and leg exchange interactions are bridged via RE–O–RE pathways and RE–O–Ge–O–RE routes, respectively. Moreover, the much shorter rung distance in RE2O12 dimer units than the leg distance suggests that Ba2RE2Ge4O13 compounds are strong-rung spin ladder systems. All of the synthesized Ba2RE2Ge4O13 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd–Ho) compounds exhibit dominant antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions and the absence of magnetic order down to 1.8 K. Among the family members, Ba2Dy2Ge4O13 can be described by Jeff = 1/2 Kramers doublet states, and the low-temperature specific heat indicates the coexistence of the spin-dimerized state with a broad maximum at ∼2.4 K and long-range AFM order with TN = 0.81 K. This family of Ba2RE2Ge4O13 compounds thereby provides a rare platform to investigate the novel spin ladder physics constructed by 4f electrons.

双腿自旋梯形化合物 Ba2RE2Ge4O13 家族的结构和磁学性质 (RE = Pr、Nd 和 Gd-Ho)



与对基于 3d 过渡金属 (TM) 的自旋梯形化合物的深入研究相比,由稀土 (RE) 离子构建的化合物受到的关注较少。在此,我们报道了一族基于 RE 的自旋梯化合物 Ba2RE2Ge4O13 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd–Ho) 结晶成空间群为 C2/c 的单斜晶结构。RE 离子沿 b 轴排列在双腿自旋梯基序上,其中梯级和腿交换相互作用分别通过 RE-O-RE 通路和 RE-O-Ge-O-RE 路线桥接。此外,RE2O12 二聚体单位的梯级距离比边距短得多,这表明 Ba2RE2Ge4O13 化合物是强梯级自旋梯系统。所有合成的 Ba2RE2Ge4O13 (RE = Pr, Nd, Gd-Ho) 化合物都表现出主要的反铁磁 (AFM) 相互作用,并且低至 1.8 K 时不存在磁有序。在家族成员中,Ba2Dy2Ge4O13 可以用 Jeff = 1/2 Kramers 双峰态来描述,低温比热表明自旋二聚化态在 ∼2.4 K 时具有广泛的最大值,而长程 AFM 级数为 TN = 0.81 K。因此,这个 Ba2RE2Ge4O13 化合物家族为研究由 4f 电子构建的新型自旋梯物理学提供了一个罕见的平台。
