摘要
The geometrically frustrated double-perovskite Ba2YRuO6 has magnetic 4d(3) Ru5+ ions decorating an undistorted face-centered-cubic lattice. This material has been previously reported to exhibit commensurate long-range antiferromagnetic order below T-N similar to 36 K, a factor f similar to 15 times lower than its Curie-Weiss temperature Theta(CW) = -522 K, and purported short-range order to T* = 47 K. We report new time-of-flight neutron spectroscopy of Ba2YRuO6 which shows the development of a similar to 5 meV spin gap in the vicinity of the [100] magnetic ordering wave vector below T-N = 36 K, with the transition to long-range order occurring at T* = 47 K. We also report spin waves extending to similar to 14 meV, a surprisingly small bandwidth in light of the large Theta(CW). We compare the spin gap and bandwidth to relevant neutron studies of the isostructural 4d(1) material Ba2YMoO6, and discuss the results in the framework of relatively strong spin-orbit coupling expected in 4d magnetic systems.
