Abstract:
The magnetic properties of Na(2)CuP(2)O(7) were investigated by means of (31)P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), magnetic susceptibility, and heat capacity measurements. We report the (31)P NMR shift, the spin-lattice [Formula: see text], and spin-spin (1/T(2)) relaxation rate data as a function of temperature T. The temperature dependence of the NMR shift K(T) is well described by the S = 1/2 square lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnetic model with an intraplanar exchange of [Formula: see text] K and a hyperfine coupling A = 3533 ± 185 Oe /μ(B). The (31)P NMR spectrum was found to broaden abruptly below T∼10 K, signifying some kind of transition. However, no anomaly was noticed in the bulk susceptibility data down to 1.8 K. The heat capacity appears to have a weak maximum around 10 K. With decrease in temperature, the spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T(1) decreases monotonically and appears to agree well with the high temperature series expansion expression for a S = 1/2 2D square lattice.

Colors and Magnetism
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.
