Abstract
Cross-correlation between magnetism and dielectric is expected to offer novel emergent phenomena. Here, magnetic excitations in the organic donor-acceptor spin-chain system, TTF-BA, with a ferroelectric ground state is investigated by $^1$H-NMR spectroscopy. A nonmagnetic transition with a ferroelectric order is marked by sharp drops in NMR shift and nuclear spin relaxation rate $T_1^{-1}$ at 53 K. Remarkably, the analyses of the NMR shift and $T_1^{-1}$ dictate that the paramagnetic spin susceptibility in TTF-BA is substantially suppressed from that expected for the 1D Heisenberg spins. We propose that the spin-lattice coupling and the ferroelectric instability cooperate to promote precursory polar singlet formation in the ionic spin system with a nonmagnetic ferroelectric instability.
