摘要:

我们报告的第一个观察到的“轨道截断棒”-散射所产生的散装轨道秩序在晶体表面的终止。在解理的单层钙钛矿La0.5Sr1.5MnO4上进行的X射线测量显示,虽然晶体表面在原子上是光滑的,但轨道“表面”要粗糙得多,具有r.m.s.与平均“表面”的偏差约为0.7nm。这种散射的温度依赖性表明表面诱导的二级跃迁的证据。

英文摘要:

We report the first observation of `orbital truncation rods' -- the scattering arising from the termination of bulk orbital order at the surface of a crystal. The x-ray measurements, performed on a cleaved, single-layered perovskite, La0.5Sr1.5MnO4, reveal that while the crystallographic surface is atomically smooth, the orbital `surface' is much rougher, with an r.m.s. deviation from the average `surface' of ~0.7nm. The temperature dependence of this scattering shows evidence of a surface-induced second order transition.
