説明

We have measured the magnetic susceptibility in a magnetic field of 1 T (rotating the field direction) in the bc plane, the magnetization curve in magnetic fields up to 30 T and the thermal conductivity in magnetic fields up to 14 T for the quasi-two-dimensional spin system Cu3B2O6. Two-fold symmetry of the susceptibility in the bc plane has been found to develop at low temperatures below the Néel temperature TN=10 K. This is understood on the basis of the low symmetry of the Cu–O–Cu network. The susceptibility does not appear to vanish as T→0 K even in the direction where the magnetization exhibits the minimum, indicating that the spin arrangement in the bc plane at T<TN is noncollinear. The magnetization curve exhibits a bend and/or a jump associated with either spin–flop or metamagnetic transition at T<TN, depending on the field direction. The thermal conductivity along the direction where the magnetization exhibits the minimum in the bc plane has been found to exhibit marked enhancement and a peak at T<TN, which is understood to be caused by the increase of the thermal conductivity due to magnons. The peak is suppressed with increasing magnetic-field below 12 T and tends to recover in high field above 12 T. It has been found that the thermal conductivity strongly correlates with the spin state in Cu3B2O6.
