Spin Vortex Crystal Order in Organic Triangular Lattice Compound

Organic salts represent an ideal experimental playground for studying the interplay between magnetic and charge degrees of freedom, which has culminated in the discovery of several spin-liquid candidates, such as $κ$-(ET)$_2$Cu$_2$(CN)$_3$ ($κ$-Cu). Recent theoretical studies indicate the possibility of chiral spin liquids stabilized by ring-exchange, but the parent states with chiral magnetic order have not been observed in this material family. In this work, we discuss the properties of the recently synthesized $κ$-(BETS)$_2$Mn[N(CN)$_2$]$_3$ ($κ$-Mn). Based on analysis of specific heat, magnetic torque, and NMR measurements combined with ab initio calculations, we identify a spin-vortex crystal order. These observations definitively confirm the importance of ring-exchange in these materials, and support the proposed chiral spin-liquid scenario for triangular lattice organics.

New insights on frequency combinations and 'forbidden frequencies' in de Haas-van Alphen spectrum of \k{appa}-(ET) 2 Cu(SCN) 2

De Haas-van Alphen oscillations of the organic metal \k{appa}-(ET) 2 Cu(SCN) 2 have been measured up to 55 T at liquid helium temperatures. The Fermi surface of this charge transfer salt is a textbook example of linear chain of orbits coupled by magnetic breakdown. Accordingly, the oscillation spectrum is composed of linear combinations of the frequencies linked to the $α$ and magnetic breakdown-induced $β$ orbits. The field and temperature dependence of all the observed Fourier components, in particular the "forbidden frequency" $β$ -- $α$ which cannot correspond to a classical orbit, are quantitatively accounted for by analytical calculations based on a second order development of the free energy, i.e. beyond the first order Lifshitz-Kosevich formula.
