We synthesized single crystals of composition ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuSi}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$ and investigated their quantum magnetic properties. The crystal structure is closely related to that of the quasi-two-dimensional (2D) dimerized magnet ${\mathrm{BaCuSi}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ also known as Han purple. ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuSi}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$ has a singlet ground state with an excitation gap of $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Delta}}/{k}_{\mathrm{B}}=20.8$ K. The magnetization curves for two different field directions almost perfectly coincide when normalized by the $g$ factor except for a small jump anomaly for a magnetic field perpendicular to the $c$ axis. The magnetization curve with a nonlinear slope above the critical field is in excellent agreement with exact-diagonalization calculations based on a 2D coupled spin-dimer model. Individual exchange constants are also evaluated using density functional theory (DFT). The DFT results demonstrate a 2D exchange network and weak frustration between interdimer exchange interactions, supported by weak spin-lattice coupling implied from our magnetostriction data. The magnetic-field-induced spin ordering in ${\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{CuSi}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{2}$ is described as the quasi-2D Bose-Einstein condensation of triplets.

Magnetic-Field-Induced Condensation of Triplons in Han Purple Pigment B a C u S i 2 O 6

Besides being an ancient pigment, ${\mathrm{B}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ is a quasi-2D magnetic insulator with a gapped spin dimer ground state. The application of strong magnetic fields closes this gap, creating a gas of bosonic spin triplet excitations. The topology of the spin lattice makes ${\mathrm{B}\mathrm{a}\mathrm{C}\mathrm{u}\mathrm{S}\mathrm{i}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{6}$ an ideal candidate for studying the Bose-Einstein condensation of triplet excitations as a function of the external magnetic field, which acts as a chemical potential. In agreement with quantum Monte Carlo numerical simulations, we observe a distinct lambda anomaly in the specific heat together with a maximum in the magnetic susceptibility upon cooling down to liquid helium temperatures.
