摘要

We present experimental and theoretical evidence that an interesting quantum many-body effect-quasiparticle breakdown-occurs in the quasi-one-dimensional spin-1/2 Ising-like ferromagnet CoNb_2O_6 in its paramagnetic phase at high transverse field as a result of explicit breaking of spin inversion symmetry. We propose a quantum spin Hamiltonian capturing the essential one-dimensional physics of CoNb_2O_6 and determine the exchange parameters of this model by fitting the calculated single-particle dispersion to the one observed experimentally in applied transverse magnetic fields. We present high-resolution inelastic neutron scattering measurements of the single-particle dispersion which observe "anomalous broadening" effects over a narrow energy range at intermediate energies. We propose that this effect originates from the decay of the one particle mode into two-particle states. This decay arises from (ⅰ) a finite overlap between the one-particle dispersion and the two-particle continuum in a narrow energy-momentum range and (ⅱ) a small misalignment of the applied field away from the direction perpendicular to the Ising axis in the experiments, which allows for nonzero matrix elements for decay by breaking the Z_2 spin inversion symmetry of the Hamiltonian.
