Abstract:
Impurity effects on the triangular antiferromagnets Ni1-xMxGa2S4 (M=Mn, Fe, Co and Zn) are studied. The 2D frozen spin-disordered state of NiGa2S4 is stable against the substitution of Zn2+ (S=0) and Heisenberg Fe2+ (S=2) spins, and exhibits a T2-dependent magnetic specific heat, scaled by the Weiss temperature. In contrast, the substitutions with Co2+ (S=3/2) spin with Ising-like anisotropy and Heisenberg Mn2+ (S=5/2) spin induce a conventional spin glass phase below 1 K. From these comparisons, it is suggested that the integer size of the Heisenberg spins is important to stabilize the 2D coherent behavior observed in the frozen spin-disordered state.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
