Abstract
Experimental studies of the spin-1 Haldane-chain material [Ni(C2H8N2)2NO2](BF4) (NENB) doped with diamagnetic Zn(II) ions in a range up to nominally 5% by means of the magnetic-susceptibility and the electron-spin resonance (ESR) techniques are reported. The presence of fractional S = 1/2 chain-end states, revealed by ESR and susceptibility measurements is found to be responsible for spin-glass freezing effects. It is suggested that a higher doping with Zn ions suppresses the spin-glass behaviour by creating shorter and isolated chain fragments.
