Anomalous Spin Response in Non-centrosymmetric Compounds

Abstract

We examine static spin susceptibilities $χ_{αβ}({\bf q})$ of spin components $S_α$ and $S_β$ in the non-centrosymmetric tetragonal system. These show anomalous momentum dependences like $χ_{xx}({\bf q})-χ_{yy}({\bf q})\sim q_x^2-q_y^2$ and $χ_{xy}({\bf q})+χ_{yx}({\bf q})\sim q_x q_y$, which vanish in centrosymmetric systems. The magnitudes of the anomalous spin susceptibilities are enhanced by the on-site Coulomb interaction, especially, around an ordering wave vector. The significant and anomalous momentum dependences of these susceptibilities are explained by a group theoretical analysis. As the direct probe of the anomalous spin susceptibility, we propose a polarized neutron scattering experiment.
