Huge Transverse Magnetic Polarization in the Field-Induced Phase of the Antiferromagnetic
Molecular Wheel CsFe8
Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 087201/1-4 (2007)
Abstract:
The 1H NMR spectrum and nuclear
relaxation rate T–11
in the antiferromagnetic wheel CsFe8 were measured
to characterize the previously observed magnetic
field-induced low-temperature phase around the level crossing at 8 T.
The data show that the phase is characterized by a huge
staggered transverse polarization of the electronic Fe spins, and
the opening of a gap, providing microscopic evidence for the
interpretation of the phase as a field-induced magnetoelastic
instability.
