摘要

Ultrasound velocity measurements of cubic spinel GeCo_2O_4 in single crystal were performed for the investigation of shear and compression moduli. The shear moduli in the paramagnetic state reveal the absence of Jahn-Teller activity despite the presence of orbital degeneracy in the Co~(2+) ions. Such a Jahn-Teller inactivity indicates that the intersite orbital-orbital interaction is much stronger than the Jahn-Teller coupling. The compression moduli in the paramagnetic state near the Neel temperature T_N reveal that the most relevant exchange path for the antiferromagnetic transition lies in the [111] direction. This exchange-path anisotropy is consistent with the antiferromagnetic structure with the wave vector q ‖ [ 111 ], suggesting the presence of bond frustration due to competition among a direct ferromagnetic interaction and several distant-neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions. In the Jahn-Teller-inactive condition, the bond frustration can be induced by geometrical orbital frustration of t_(2g)-t_(2g) interaction between the Co~(2+) ions, which can be realized in the pyrochlore lattice of the high-spin Co~(2+) with t_(2g)-orbital degeneracy. In GeCo_2O_4, the tetragonal elongation below T_N releases the orbital frustration by quenching the orbital degeneracy.
