Spin correlations in the  S=1 armchair chain Ni2NbBO6 as seen from NMR

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/abc2b5

Abstract We report our nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) study on the structurally spin chain compound Ni₂NbBO₆ with complex magnetic coupling. The antiferromagnetic transition is monitored by the line splitting resulting from the staggered internal hyperfine field. The magnetic coupling configuration proposed by the first-principle density functional theory (DFT) is supported by NMR spectral analysis. For the spin dynamics, a prominent peak at T∼35 K well above the Néel temperature (T_N∼20 K at μ₀H=10 T) is observed from the spin-lattice relaxation data. As compared with the dc-susceptibility, this behavior indicates an antiferromagnetic coupling with the typical energy scale of ∼3 meV. Thus, the Ni₂NbBO₆ compound can be viewed as strongly ferromagnetically coupled armchair spin chains along the crystalline b-axis. These facts place strong constraints on the theoretical model for this compound.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
