摘要
THe ground state of the typical spin-1 linear-chain Heisenberg antiferromagnet Ni(C2H8N2)2NO2(ClO4) containing a small amount of Cu2+ is studied by the electron-spin-resonance (ESR) technique. The ESR results are qualitatively explained by the model that the valence bonds are broken at the Cu2+ sites resulting in spin-1/2 states at the Ni2+ sites neighboring the Cu2+. Thus the present study gives experimental evidence for the existence of the valence-bond-solid ground state in S=1 linear-chain Heisenberg antiferromagnets. © 1990 The American Physical Society.
