摘要：

In conventional spin glasses, magnetic interaction is not strongly anisotropic and the entire spin system is believed to be frozen below the spin-glass transition temperature. In La2Cu0.94Li0.06O4, for which the in-plane exchange interaction dominates the interplane one, only a fraction of spins with antiferromagnetic correlations extending to neighboring planes become spin glass. The remaining spins with only in-plane antiferromagnetic correlations remain spin liquid at low temperature. Such a partial spin freezing out of a two-dimensional spin liquid observed in this cold neutron scattering study is likely due to a delicate balance between disorder and quantum fluctuations in the quasi-two-dimensional S=1/2 Heisenberg system.
