Abstract

The finite phase transition temperature, T-N, of quasi two-dimensional (2D) Heisenberg antiferromagnetic (AF) crystals results from in-plane anisotropy or coupling between layers. It is usually not known which is the determining factor when both are weak. We show by an electron spin resonance experiment that in the quasi 2D antiferromagnetic crystal,kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu[N(CN)(2)] Cl, TN is determined by in-plane anisotropy while interlayer coupling plays a minor role. The compound has a large isotropic Heisenberg exchange interaction between sites with S = 1/2 spins. The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction is the main source of anisotropy, while in-plane anisotropy and the interlayer coupling are very weak. The external-field field-induced static and fluctuating AF magnetizations are independent in adjacent layers above the (zero-field) ordering temperature.

Curie temperature

In physics and materials science, the Curie temperature (TC), or Curie point, is the temperature above which certain materials lose their permanent magnetic properties, which can (in most cases) be replaced by induced magnetism. The Curie temperature is named after Pierre Curie, who showed that magnetism was lost at a critical temperature. The force of magnetism is determined by the magnetic moment, a dipole moment within an atom which originates from the angular momentum and spin of electrons.

High-temperature superconductivity

High-temperature superconductors (abbreviated high-Tc or HTS) are defined as materials with critical temperature (the temperature below which the material behaves as a superconductor) above , the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. They are only "high-temperature" relative to previously known superconductors, which function at even colder temperatures, close to absolute zero. The "high temperatures" are still far below ambient (room temperature), and therefore require cooling.

Magnetism

Magnetism is the class of physical attributes that occur through a magnetic field, which allows objects to attract or repel each other. Because both electric currents and magnetic moments of elementary particles give rise to a magnetic field, magnetism is one of two aspects of electromagnetism. The most familiar effects occur in ferromagnetic materials, which are strongly attracted by magnetic fields and can be magnetized to become permanent magnets, producing magnetic fields themselves.
