F. Tedoldi et al., Magnetic properties and spin dynamics in hole-doped S = 1 AF chain: Y-89 NMR and susceptibility in Y2-xCaxBaNiO5, J APPL PHYS, 83(11), 1998, pp. 6605-6607
Hole-doping effects in Haldane chain have been studied by means of magnetic
susceptibility and Y-89 nuclear magnetic resonance in Y2-xCaxBaNiO5 for x
= 0, x = 0.06 and x = 0.18. In nominally pure YBNO detailed information on
this prototype of Haldane systems is extracted. In the charge-doped compoun
ds the Y-89 relaxation rates indicate that holes induce low-energy excitati
ons with an effective spectral density having a structure characterized by
a narrow central peak. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
