Quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensation of lattice bosons in spin-1/2 XXZ ferromagnet K$_2$CuF$_4$

K$_2$CuF$_4$ is magnetically described as a spin-1/2, quasi-two-dimensional (2D), square-lattice XXZ ferromagnet with weak easy-plane anisotropy. The magnetic ordering for an applied magnetic field $H$ parallel to the $c$ axis is equivalent to the Bose\,--\,Einstein condensation (BEC) of lattice bosons, as discussed by Matsubara and Matsuda [Prog. Theor. Phys. \textbf{16}, 569 (1956)]. Magnetization and specific heat measurements were performed to obtain the temperature vs magnetic field phase diagram for $H\,{\parallel}\,c$. The phase boundary between polarized and ordered phases was found to be expressed by the power law $H_{\rm c}(T)\,{-}\,H_{\rm c}(0)\,{\propto}\,T^ϕ$ with exponent $ϕ\,{\approx}\,1.0$ in a wide temperature range, in agreement with the theory of quasi-2D BEC.

Pressure-induced new magnetic phase in Tl(Cu$_{0.985}$Mg$_{0.015}$)Cl$_3$ probed by muon spin rotation

We carried out zero-field muon-spin-rotation (ZF-$μ$SR) measurements in hydrostatic pressures in impurity-doped quantum spin gap system Tl(Cu$_{0.985}$Mg$_{0.015}$)Cl$_3$ to investigate microscopic magnetic properties of the pressure-induced phase. The spontaneous muon spin precession, which indicates the existence of a long-range coherent order, is observed in pressures. With decreasing temperature in 3.1 kbar, the internal static magnetic field at the muon sites {\it H}$_{\rm int}$ tends to saturate to 280 Oe around 4 K, however, decreases to 240 Oe at 2.3 K. These results suggest a rearrangement of ordered spins, and we speculate that the oblique antiferromagnetic phase, which is observed in the pressure of 14 kbar on the pure TlCuCl$_3$, appears in the Mg-doped system in lower pressures.
