Ferromagnetism out of charge fluctuation of strongly correlated electrons in $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Hg(SCN)$_2$Br.
2020
We performed magnetic susceptibility and magnetic torque measurements on the organic $\kappa$-(BEDT-TTF)$_2$Hg(SCN)$_2$Br, which is recently suggested to host an exotic quantum dipolar liquid in its low-temperature insulating phase. Below the metal-insulator transition temperature, the magnetic susceptibility follows a Curie-Weiss law with a positive Curie-Weiss temperature. The emergent ferromagnetically interacting spins amount to about 1/6 of the full spin moment of localized charges. Taking account of the possible inhomogeneous quasi-charge-order that form a dipolar-liquid, we construct a model of antiferromagnetically interacting spin chains in two adjacent charge-ordered domains, which are coupled via fluctuating charges on a Mott-dimer at the boundary, finding that the charge fluctuation indeed draws the weak ferromagnetic moment out of the spin singlet domains.
