The ground state is nonmagnetic with a tiny spin gap. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, magnetization isotherm, and heat capacity can be modeled well assuming isolated spin dimers with anisotropic exchange interactions J(Z) similar or equal to 2.6 K and J(XY) similar or equal to 1.3 K. Heat capacity measurements backed by muon spin relaxation suggest the absence of magnetic long-range order down to at least 80 mK both in zero field and in applied fields. This sets BiYbGeO5 apart from Yb2Si2O7, with its unusual regime of magnon Bose-Einstein condensation, and suggests negligible interdimer couplings, despite only a weak structural deformation of the honeycomb lattice. | |
