Evidence of 3D Antiferromagnetic Order in the S = 1/2 Linear Ferromagnet TMCUC

  • Chapter

Abstract

Recently it has been shown that tetramethylammonium copper chloride (CH3)4 NCuCl3 (TMCuC) behaves like a one-dimensional S = 1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet. We present here the first indications of tridimensional antiferromagnetic ordering in this compound. We measured the magnetic susceptibility of a powdered sample of TMCuC in zero applied field, between 0.4 and 4.2 K and obtained the following value of the Nëel temperature: TN = 1.24 K. From the value of the 3d ordering temperature we can deduce the ratio of the interchain interaction J’ to the intrachain interaction J : |J’/J| = 7.10−4.TMCuC is thus a fairly good example of Id Heisenberg ferromagnet. In addition, we studied the (H, T) phase diagram in the 3d antiferromagnetic ordered state.
