Magnetism of honeycomb ruthenate Ag3LiRu2O6 without singlet dimers — •Tomohiro Takayama1,2 and Hidenori Takagi1,2,31Max Planck Institute for Solid State Research, Stuttgart, Germany — 2FMQ3, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany — 3Department of Physics, University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan

Honeycomb-based transition-metal oxides currently attract interests as novel quantum magnets. 5d honeycomb iridates were theoretically proposed to host quantum spin liquid state owing to bond-dependent magnetic coupling (Kitaev coupling)[1], and experimental verifications of such spin liquid state are intensively under way. On the other hand, honeycomb ruthenate Li2RuO3 is known to form spin-singlet dimers and the ground state is non-magnetic insulator [2].

By using ion-exchange reaction, we have synthesized silver-intercalated honeycomb ruthenate Ag3LiRu2O6 [3]. Possibly due to the formation of strong O2−-Ag+-O2- between the honeycomb layers, the singlet-dimer formation is suppressed in Ag3LiRu2O6, and Ru4+ magnetism survives down to low temperatures. Despite Curie-Weiss like behavior observed at high temperatures (θCW ∼ -40 K), we did not see any magnetic order down to 2 K in magnetization and heat capacity measurements. We discuss the possible magnetic ground state of this honeycomb ruthenate.
