Abstract

The results of synchrotron X-ray diffraction by the coupled dimer compound SrCu₂(BO₃)₂ subjected to a pulsed high magnetic field are reported. We find the lattice constant, a, contracts with increasing magnetic field. This change in the lattice constant scales with the magnetization change. We argue that the nearest neighbor exchange interaction between Cu²⁺ spins is an antiferromagnetic one through an oxygen and its strength depends on the bond angle Cu²⁺-O²-Cu ²+. The bond length between the Cu ions in a triplet becomes shorter to make the bond angle smaller and to diminish the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. We propose this mechanism as a main source of the lattice contraction.
