Coexistence of a Spin-Singlet Ground State with the 3D Magnetic Order in theCsC60Polymerized Fulleride

Abstract
The low temperature behavior of the CsC60 polymer was investigated by NMR measurements on 13C and 133Cs nuclei at ambient and under hydrostatic pressure up to 9 kbar. The existence of a second-order structural phase transition to a spin-singlet (nonmagnetic) ground state at TS=13.8K is clearly established at ambient pressure. This state coexists with the magnetic order that develops at TN=30K. The application of pressure first suppresses the magnetic order and a homogeneous nonmagnetic ground state is stabilized at 5 kbar.
