High-field phase diagram of a chiral-lattice antiferromagnet Sr(TiO)Cu4(PO4)4

High-field phase diagram of a chiral-lattice antiferromagnet Sr(TiO)Cu4(PO4)4 is studied by means of the ultrasound, dielectric, and magnetocaloric-effect measurements. These experimental techniques reveal two new phase transitions at high fields, which have not been resolved by the previous magnetization experiments. Specifically, the c66 acoustic mode shows drastic changes with hysteresis with applied fields along the c axis, indicating a strong magneto-elastic coupling. Combined with the cluster mean-field theory, we discuss the origins of these phase transitions. By considering the chiral-twist effect of Cu4O12 cupola units, which is inherent to the chiral crystal structure, the phase diagram is reasonably reproduced. The agreement between the experiment and theory suggests that this material is a unique quasi two-dimensional spin system with competing exchange interactions and chirality, leading to the rich phase diagram.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figures, 1 tabl
