CrPS4中子散射数据集

本项目使用互补的中子衍射，磁性和扭矩测量，确定CrPS4晶体的完整磁相图。CrPS4显示了沿TN = 38 K以下c轴的面外铁磁单层与层间反铁磁耦合形成的反铁磁性基态（A型）.由于磁性各向异性能量小，层间耦合弱，CrPS4中的低场变磁转变，即在≈0.7 T处的自旋转动和在相对较低的8 T场下从反铁磁到铁磁的自旋翻转， 有趣的是，由于具有固有的面内晶格各向异性，CrPS4中H∥c的自旋-翻转诱导平行于c轴的磁矩与CrS6八面体的准1D链平行。奇特的变磁转变和面内各向异性使只有数层的CrPS4薄片成为研究二维磁性和探索自旋电子学和光电子学中原型器件应用的迷人平台。

This study employed complementary neutron diffraction, magnetic and torque measurements to determine the full magnetic phase diagram of CrPS4 crystals. CrPS4 exhibits an antiferromagnetic ground state (Type A) formed by out-of-plane ferromagnetic monolayers along the c-axis and interlayer antiferromagnetic coupling below the Néel temperature TN = 38 K. Owing to the small magnetic anisotropy energy and weak interlayer coupling, CrPS4 features low-field metamagnetic transitions: a spin rotation at ~0.7 T and a spin-flip transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase under a relatively low field of 8 T. Intriguingly, due to the inherent in-plane lattice anisotropy, the spin-flip transition under H∥c in CrPS4 induces magnetic moments parallel to the c-axis to align parallel to the quasi-1D chains of CrS6 octahedra. The unique metamagnetic transitions and in-plane anisotropy make few-layer CrPS4 flakes an intriguing platform for investigating two-dimensional (2D) magnetism and exploring prototype device applications in spintronics and optoelectronics.
