Low-dimensional spin systems reveal new and unexpected physical phenomena such as distinct plateaus in the magnetization as a function of magnetic field. In this paper we present ultrasonic measurements for the quasi-two-dimensional spin system SrCu2(BO3)2 in magnetic fields up to 50 T. From this technique we obtained detailed information about the spin state, the magnetic excitations and their interaction with phonons. The dimerized quantum-spin system SrCu2(BO3)2 exhibits plateaus in the magnetization and shows surprisingly strong magneto-elastic effects as a function of temperature and magnetic field. The pronounced elastic anomalies indicate a resonant interaction between the sound wave and the magnetic excitations.

AbstractA recent focus of quantum spin liquid (QSL) studies is how disorder/randomness in a QSL candidate affects its true magnetic ground state. The ultimate question is whether the QSL survives disorder or the disorder leads to a “spin-liquid-like” state, such as the proposed random-singlet (RS) state. Since disorder is a standard feature of most QSL candidates, this question represents a major challenge for QSL candidates. YbMgGaO4, a triangular lattice antiferromagnet with effective spin-1/2 Yb3+ions, is an ideal system to address this question, since it shows no long-range magnetic ordering with Mg/Ga site disorder. Despite the intensive study, it remains unresolved as to whether YbMgGaO4 is a QSL or in the RS state. Here, through ultralow-temperature thermal conductivity and magnetic torque measurements, plus specific heat and DC magnetization data, we observed a residual κ0/T term and series of quantum spin state transitions in the zero temperature limit for YbMgGaO4. These observations strongly suggest that a QSL state with itinerant excitations and quantum spin fluctuations survives disorder in YbMgGaO4.
