Effect of disorder on a pressure-induced $z=1$ magnetic quantum phase transition
Abstract
Pressure-induced ordering close to a quantum critical point is studied in the presence of bond disorder in the quantum spin system (CHN)Cu(ClBr) (PHCX) by means of muon-spin rotation and relaxation. As for the pure system (CHN)CuCl, pressure allows PHCX with small levels of disorder () to be driven through a quantum critical point separating a low-pressure quantum paramagnetic phase from magnetic order at high pressures. However, the pressure-induced ordered state is highly inhomogeneous for disorder concentrations . This behavior might be related to the formation of a quantum Griffiths phase above a critical disorder concentration . Br-substitution increases the critical pressure and suppresses critical temperatures and ordered moment sizes.
