摘要

The honeycomb lattice iridates A_2IrO_3 (A = Na, Li) are candidates for realization of the Kitaev-Heisenberg model although their proximity to Kitaev's quantum spin liquid (QSL) is still debated. We report on heat capacity C and entropy S_(mag) for A_2IrO_3 (A = Na, Li) in the temperature range 0.075 ≤ T ≤ 155 K. We find a well-separated two-peak structure for the magnetic heat capacity Cmag for both materials and Smag for Na_2IrO_3 shows a shoulder between the peaks with a value close to 1/2Rln2. These features signal the fractionalization of spins into Majorana fermions close to Kitaev's QSL [J. Nasu, M. Udagawa, and Y. Motome, Phys. Rev. B 92, 115122 (2015); Y. Yamaji, T. Suzuki, T. Yamada, S. I. Suga, N. Kawashima, and M. Imada, ibid. 93, 174425 (2016)]. These results provide the first thermodynamic evidence that A_2IrO_3 are situated close to the Kitaev QSL. Additionally we measure the high-temperature T ≤ 1000-K magnetic susceptibility x and estimate the Weiss temperature θ in the true paramagnetic state. We find θ ≈ -127 and -105 K, for Na_2IrO_3 and Li_2IrO_3, respectively suggesting that magnetic energy scales for the two materials could be very similar.

Nasu,M。Udagawa和Y. Momeme,物理学。 B 92,115122(2015); Y. Yamaji,T。Suzuki,T。Yamada,S。I. Suga,N。Kawashima和M. Imada(同上)。 93,174425(2016)]。这些结果提供了第一个热力学证据,表明A_2IrO_3位于Kitaev QSL附近。另外,我们测量了高温T≤1000-K的磁化率x,并估计了真实顺磁态下的魏斯温度θ。对于Na_2IrO_3和Li_2IrO_3,我们发现θ≈-127和-105 K,分别表明这两种材料的磁能标度可能非常相似。
