M. Ito et al., DOPING EFFECT OF NONMAGNETIC AND MAGNETIC-IMPURITIES ON MAGNETIC-SUSCEPTIBILITY OF THE HALDANE SYSTEM (CH3)(4)NNI(NO2)(3), Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 65(8), 1996, pp. 2610-2613
Magnetic susceptibility measurement has been carried out on the Haldan
e system (CH3)(4)NNi(NO2)(3) containing non-magnetic Zn2+ and magnetic
Cu2+ impurity ions. For each impure system, magnetic susceptibility i
s described by the sum of two contributions; one is from the Haldane s
tate and the other is a paramagnetic contribution. The latter contribu
tion increases proportionally with impurity concentration. For 1D syst
em shortened by Zn2+ impurity ions, the paramagnetic contribution obey
s the Curie law, and its absolute value of the susceptibility is found
to amount nearly 40% of the theoretical estimation for the VBS model
where the spin with its value S = 1/2 appears at the both edges of 1D
segments. In the case for the system with Cu2+ impurity ions, the para
magnetic contribution is much smaller than the results for the Zn2+ im
pure systems. This reduction of the magnetic moment of Cu2+ ion for S
= 1/2 is qualitatively different from the case for the enhanced moment
of Cu2+ ion in the anisotropic S = 1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet NENP.
