Field evolution of the magnetic structure and spin Hamiltonian in Cs2RuO4
Abstract
We report neutron diffraction under applied magnetic fields and complementary zero-field neutron spectroscopy measurements on Cs2RuO4. Previous work [Phys. Rev. B. 112, 134436 (2025)] identified a spin-flop-like transition accompanied by a quantum critical point within the ordered phase, attributed to strong frustration between alternating single-ion anisotropy planes. Here, we quantitatively confirm the predicted field evolution of the magnetic structure using neutron diffraction. Furthermore, analysis of the excitation spectrum within an SU(3) spin-wave framework resolves previously undetermined parameters of the minimal spin Hamiltonian and lifts the associated degeneracies.
