Description

To clarify the electronic state in a two-dimensional triangular lattice LiVS2, we have performed 51V- and 7Li-NMR measurements. Below the phase transition temperature Tc of about 310 K from the paramagnetic state to a nonmagnetic state, the Knight shift of both 51V and 7Li does not depend on temperature. The 51V and 7Li spin–lattice relaxation rates 1⁄T1 show the exponential temperature dependence below Tc, which indicates a gap structure of the electronic state. These results are in agreement with a trimer singlet of V3+ spins below Tc. The increase in 7Li 1⁄T1 above Tc indicates the existence of the pseudo gap and agrees with the increase in paramagnetic susceptibility with increasing temperature and with the small entropy change at Tc compared with that in LiVO2.
