Abstract

Magnetization and neutron scattering measurements have been carried out on an antiferromagnet Ba2CoSi2O7. The observed magnetic excitation is almost dispersionless, and the neutron intensity is only modulated along the [101] direction. The dispersionless magnetic excitation suggest that the Ba2CoSi2O7 system is a quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnet. Classical spin-wave theory for a one-dimensional antiferromagnet can explain the dispersionless spin excitation. The magnetic structure determined by the measurement of the neutron powder diffraction is consistent with no observation of the multiferroic property in this system.

Funding

The neutron experiment on CTAX was supported by the US-Japan Cooperative Program on Neutron Scattering. The alignment of the single crystal was carried out using the CG-1B installed at ORNL. A portion of this research used resources at the High Flux Isotope Reactor, a DOE Office of Science User Facility operated by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. This work was supported by KAKENHI (Grant No. 15K05123).
