KCrF_3:电子结构、磁性和轨道有序的第一性原理研究

KCrF_3: Electronic Structure, Magnetic and Orbital Ordering from First Principles

Gianluca Giovannetti, Serena Margadonna, Jeroen van den Brink

摘要:

用{ \it ab initio} LSDA和LSDA+U方法计算了KCrF_3的电子、磁性和轨道结构。高温无畸变的立方相在LSDA内是金属性的,但在LSDA+U能级下,它是带隙为1.72 eV的莫特绝缘体。KCrF_3的四斜晶相和单斜晶相表现出与3x^2-r^2/3y^2-r^2轨道级交错的合作Jahn-Teller畸变。我们发现,由于Jahn-Teller畸变的能量增益是82/104毫电子伏每铬离子在四斜/单斜相,分别。这些相显示出A型磁有序,并且具有2.48 eV的带隙。在这种Mott绝缘状态下,KCrF_3具有2.1 eV的实质性传导带宽,从而导致KCrF_3的电子或空穴掺杂衍生物中的载流子的动能在低温下克服极化子局域化的可能性,类似于在巨磁阻锰氧化物中遇到的情况。

英文摘要:

The electronic, magnetic and orbital structures of KCrF_3 are determined in all its recently identified crystallographic phases (cubic, tetragonal, and monoclinic) with a set of {\it ab initio} LSDA and LSDA+U calculations. The high-temperature undistorted cubic phase is metallic within the LSDA, but at the LSDA+U level it is a Mott insulator with a gap of 1.72 eV. The tetragonal and monoclinic phases of KCrF_3 exhibit cooperative Jahn-Teller distortions concomitant with staggered 3x^2-r^2/3y^2-r^2 orbital order. We find that the energy gain due to the Jahn-Teller distortion is 82/104 meV per chromium ion in the tetragonal/monoclinic phase, respectively. These phases show A-type magnetic ordering and have a bandgap of 2.48 eV. In this Mott insulating state KCrF_3 has a substantial conduction bandwidth of 2.1 eV, leading to the possibility for the kinetic energy of charge carriers in electron- or hole-doped derivatives of KCrF_3 to overcome the polaron localization at low temperatures, in analogy with the situation encountered in the colossal magnetoresistive manganites.
