摘要

The effects of Sr doping on the structural properties of Na₂BaCo(PO₄)₂, a spin-1/2 triangular-lattice antiferromagnet as a quantum spin liquid candidate, are investigated by complementary x-ray and neutron powder diffraction measurements. It is found that in Na₂Ba_1−xSr_xCo(PO₄)₂ (NBSCPO), the trigonal phase (space group P3̅m1) with a perfect triangular lattice of Co²⁺ ions is structurally stable when the doping level of Sr is below 30% (x ≤ 0.3), while a pure monoclinic phase (space group P2₁/a) with slight rotations of CoO₆ octahedra and displacements of Ba²⁺/Sr²⁺ ions will be established when the Sr doping level is above 60% (x ≥ 0.6). Such a doping-induced structural transformation in NBSCPO is supported by first-principles calculations and Raman spectroscopy. Na₂SrCo(PO₄)₂, a novel spin-1/2 antiferromagnet with glaserite-type structure, although monoclinically distorted, exhibits no long-range magnetic order down to 2 K and a similar negative Curie-Weiss temperature as Na₂BaCo(PO₄)₂ with a perfect triangular lattice, suggesting the robustness of magnetic exchange interaction against the Ba/Sr substitutions.
