  • 金属间化合物LaCrSb3具有层状的准二维结构,由于强烈的磁性涨落和丰富的磁结构变化而呈现出新奇的物理性质并展示出潜在的自旋电子应用价值,然而人们对其磁性相互作用的研究尚不充分.本研究测试了单晶样品在临界点附近的等温磁化曲线,采用Arrott-Noakes方程通过自洽迭代法确定了其居里温度(TC)和临界指数(TC = 126 K,β = 0.376,γ = 1.417,δ = 4.76,其中βγδ分别是与自发磁化强度、起始磁化率和临界磁化强度相关的临界指数)并通过了Widom标度律和磁性态方程的普适性验证.基于重整化群理论得到磁性交换相互作用随距离呈J(r) ~ r -4.96衰减.观测和分析表明LaCrSb3体系中的磁性相互作用基本符合海森堡模型的预言,意味着最近邻自旋自由度n = 3的短程直接交换作用在这一体系中起主导作用.

    LaCrSb3 is a material exhibiting both quasi-two-dimensional spin fluctuations and three-dimensional magnetic interaction characteristics. By measuring the isothermal magnetization of single-crystals and conducting a systematic critical behavior analysis, we clarify the critical properties of its ferromagnetic phase transition and the intrinsic magnetic interaction mechanism. Based on high-precision isothermal magnetization data measured in the vicinity of the critical point, the Curie temperature for the ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phase transition is determined to be TC = 126K, with the critical exponents obtained as β = 0.376, γ = 1.417 and δ = 4.76 via the self-consistent iterative method based on the Arrott-Noakes equation. The reliability of these critical exponents is verified by the Widom scaling law, the magnetic state scaling equation and other analyses. A comparison with theoretical models demonstrates that the critical behavior of the magnetic phase transition in this system basically belongs to the universality class of the three-dimensional Heisenberg model. This conclusion is further confirmed by the distance-dependent decay behavior of the exchange interaction J(r), revealing the dominant role of isotropic direct exchange interactions in this system. Finally, drawing on research findings of other quasi-two-dimensional magnetic materials, this work proposes that LaCrSb3 may exhibit non-zero temperature magnetic order in the two-dimensional limit, thereby possessing important theoretical research significance and promising practical application prospects.
