摘要
Specific heat measurements of a Ca9La5Cu24O41 single crystal in magnetic fields up to 14 T along the three principal axes were performed. Anomalies of the specific heat indicating long-range antiferromagnetic order are strongly field dependent and exhibit an extreme anisotropy with respect to the magnetic field orientation. In addition, large magnetic contributions to the specific heat above the phase transition were observed revealing the low dimensional character of the chains. Our data strongly suggest that the chains in Ca9La5Cu24O41 exhibit an Ising-like antiferromagnetism.
