Re-investigation of Moment Direction in a Kitaev Material α-RuCl_3
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We report X-ray diffraction and resonant elastic X-ray scattering (REXS)
studies on two α-RuCl_3 crystals with distinct magnetic transition
temperatures: T_N=7.3K and 6.5K. We find that the sample with T_N=6.5K
exhibits a high degree of structural twinning at low temperature, whereas the
T_N=7.3K sample primarily comprises a single domain of R3̅.
Notwithstanding, both samples exhibit an identical zigzag magnetic structure,
with magnetic moments pointing away from the honeycomb plane by
α=31(2)^∘. We argue that the identical ordered moment directions
in these samples suggest that the intralayer magnetic Hamiltonian remains
mostly unchanged regardless of T_N.
