Field-induced 3- and 2-dimensional freezing in a quantum spin liquid

Abstract

Field-induced commensurate transverse magnetic ordering is observed in the Haldane-gap compound by means of neutron diffraction. Depending on the direction of applied field, the high-field phase is shown to be either a 3-dimensional ordered N\'eel state or a short-range ordered state with dominant 2-dimensional spin correlations. The structure of the high-field phase is determined, and properties of the observed quantum phase transition are discussed.
