Abstract

We have investigated the structural and magnetic transitions in CsCoO2 using calorimetric measurements, neutron powder diffraction, density functional theory calculations, and muon-spin relaxation measurements. CsCoO2 exhibits three-dimensional long-range antiferromagnetic (AFM) order at 424 K, resulting in antiferromagnetic alignment of chains of ferromagnetically ordered Co-Co spin dimers. Although there is no change in magnetic structure around a structural transition at T∗=100 K, the resulting bifurcation of corner-shared Co-O-Co bond angles causes a weakening of the AFM interaction for one set of bonds along the chains. Consequently, the system undergoes a complex freezing out of relaxation processes on cooling.
