Studies of the Anomalous Hall Effect and Magnetic Structure of Nd2Mo2O7 -Test of the Chirality Mechanism-
Abstract
Neutron scattering studies have been carried out under the magnetic fields H//[0_11] and H//[001] on a single crystal of Nd2Mo2O7, whose Hall resistivity(rhoH) exhibits quite unusual H- and temperature(T)-dependences. Material parameters such as the single ion anisotropies of the Mo- and Nd- moments and exchange coupling constants among the Mo-Mo, Mo-Nd and Nd-Nd moments, have been determined to reproduce various kinds of experimental data taken as a function of H and T. For example, the neutron Bragg intensities, magnetization curves and the magnetic specific heats have been reproduced by the common parameters. By using the magnetic structure reproduced by these parameters, the spin chirality (chi) of Mo spins or the fictitious magnetic flux Phi proportional to chi has been calculated as a function of H and T by using equation chi= , where the bracket means the statistical average. (Note that we do not use the equation chi= x , because the local nature of the chirality should be correctly considered.) Comparing the calculated results with the observed rhoH, we can conclude that the unusual behavior of rH cannot be understood consistently only by the chirality mechanism.
