摘要
Magnetic field dependence of the neutron Bragg scattering as well as the diffuse scattering intensities in K2CuF4 has been observed as a function of temperature. It is found that about 42% of the observed Bragg scattering intensity is due to a giant fluctuation of spins which can be erased by very weak internal field. This fluctuation part is thought to be a new phase with condensation of magnons. The rest 58% corresponds to the phase with conventional long range order. The critical points for these two phases are the same within the experimental errors. © 1979, THE PHYSICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN. All rights reserved.
