Quadrupolar Frustration in Shastry-Sutherland Lattice of DyB4 Studied by Resonant X-ray Scattering
2005
We have observed geometrical frustration of quadrupolar and magnetic moments in dysprosium tetraboride, DyB4, where the rare-earth sites form a Shastry-Sutherland lattice. Resonant x-ray scattering at the LIII absorption edge of Dy was utilized. Analysis of the energy, polarization, temperature, and azimuthal-angle dependences of the E1 resonance of the (1 0 0) forbidden reflection show that the magnetic and quadrupolar components within the frustrated c plane have a short-range correlation, suggesting that the moments are fluctuating. By contrast, the basic antiferromagnetic component along the c axis has a long-range order.
