We present NMR measurements of a strong-leg spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnetic ladder compound (C7H10N)2CuBr4 under magnetic fields up to 15 T in the temperature range from 1.2 K down to 50 mK. From the splitting of NMR lines, we determine the phase boundary and the order parameter of the low-temperature (three-dimensional) long-range-ordered phase. In the Tomonaga-Luttinger regime above the ordered phase, NMR relaxation reflects characteristic power-law decay of spin correlation functions as 1/T1∝T(1/2K-1), which allows us to determine the interaction parameter K as a function of field. We find that field-dependent K varies within the 1<K<2 range, which signifies attractive interaction between the spinless fermions in the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid.
我们在磁场高达 15 T 的条件下对强磁相互作用的自旋-1/2 海森堡反铁磁梯状化合物 (C7H10N)2CuBr4 进行了核磁共振测量,温度范围从 1.2 K 到 50 mK。通过对核磁共振谱线的分裂,我们确定了低温(三维)长程序相的相界和序参量。在有序相上方的 Tomonaga-Luttinger 区,核磁共振弛豫反映了自旋关联函数的特征幂律衰减,即 1/T1∝T(1/2K-1),这使我们能够确定作为磁场函数的相互作用参数 K。我们发现,依赖于磁场的 K 值在 1<K<2 的范围内变化,这表明在 Tomonaga-Luttinger 液体中的无自旋费米子之间存在吸引力相互作用。
