Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

In a comparative and systematic study on finite-size particles the isostructural van der Waals materials ScOCl, ScOBr, and FeOCl, are investigated. The origin of unconventional magnetic properties of FeOCl (S = 5/2) is elucidated. Experimental evidence for fluctuations are presented and discussed in relation to soliton condensation into topological edge states. The anisotropy within 2 ∞[FeO4/4Cl2/2] corrugated layers gives rise to the formation of solitons (1D) with parameters given here and to the development of 2D-Ising magnetic order around 20 K. The latter is identified by a λ anomaly in the specific heat and a kink in the magnetic susceptibility. Concomitantly, the canting angle of moments along the spin-chain direction changes. We attribute this to a magnetoelastic effect. The finite size of the chains (≈143 Fe-sites ≈ ξs at 20 K) results in the confinement of solitons, which condense into breathers. In small applied magnetic fields the dynamics unfold and a spin-glass-like phase below 5 K is established. Phonon anharmonicities revealed by Raman scattering are explained by diffusional dynamics and are in agreement with the derived soliton energy from Mössbauer spectroscopy.
