An experimental measurement of the staggered magnetization curve for a Haldane spin chain
Abstract
Long-range magnetic ordering in R2 Ba Ni O5 (R=magnetic rare earth) quasi-1-dimensional mixed-spin antiferromagnets is described by a simple mean-field model that is based on the intrinsic staggered magnetization function of isolated Haldane spin chains for the Ni-subsystem, and single-ion magnetization functions for the rare earth ions. The model is applied to new experimental results obtained in powder diffraction experiments on Nd2 Ba Ni O5 and Nd Y Ba Ni O5, and to previously published diffraction data for Er2 Ba Ni O5. From this analysis we extract the bare staggered magnetization curve for Haldane spin chains in these compounds.
