Research Abstract |
One dimensional quantum antiferromagets with competing interactions are expected to have novel magnetic properties. In this study, the diamond chain, triple-chain and zigzag chain model compounds were investigated. The magnetization curve of Cu3(A)2(OH)2(H2O)4, a diamond chain model compound, showed an anomaly related to the 1/3 magnetic plateau. We studied antlerite and szenicsite, actual compound for the triple-chain model. The magnetic phase diagram of antlerite is very complicated, while szenicsite has no long range magnetic order . Although crystal structures of both compounds are similar, their magnetic properties are quite different each other. It is suggested that a quantum phase transition could occur in the ground state of the triple-chain model as varying ratios among magnetic interactions. NaCr2O4, a zigzag chain oxide, was found to have the colossal magnetic resistance (CMR) effect. The mechanism of the CMR effect was discussed in terms of the spin frustration effect.
