Dynamics of an anisotropic Haldane antiferromagnet in a strong magnetic field
Abstrak
We report the results of elastic and inelastic neutron-scattering experiments on the Haldane-gap quantum antiferromagnet Ni(C 5 D 1 4 N 2 ) 2 N 3 (PF 6 ) performed at mK temperatures in a wide range of magnetic field applied parallel to the S= I spin chains. Even though this geometry is closest to an ideal axially symmetric configuration, the Haldane gap closes at the critical field H c ≃ 4 T, but reopens again at higher fields. The field dependence of the two lowest magnon modes is experimentally studied and the results are compared with the predictions of several theoretical models. We conclude that of several existing theories, only the recently proposed model [Zheludev et al., cond-mat/0301424] is able to reproduce all the features observed experimentally for different field orientations.
