四元体系YbRu_{2} Ge_{2}的诱导四极序理论

Theory of induced quadrupolar order in tetragonal YbRu_{2}Ge_{2}

Tetsuya Takimoto, Peter Thalmeier

摘要:

四元化合物YbRu $_{2}$ Ge $_{2}$在零磁场下,在$T_0$ =10.2K处发生非磁性转变,在$T_1$ =6.5K处发生磁性转变.我们提出了一种基于准四重态Yb $^{3+}$晶体电场(CEF)的材料模型,并讨论了它的平均场解。考虑到磁场垂直于[001]时$T_0$处比热跃变的加宽和磁场平行于[001]时$T_0$处比热跃变的减小,结果表明O型$_{2}^{2}$或O型$_{\rm xy}$的铁四极阶是非磁跃迁的主要候选者.考虑到这些四极矩的矩阵元,我们证明了该能级方案的低CEF态由一个$Γ_{6}$和一个$Γ_{7}$双重态组成。这导致诱导型O $_{2}^{2}$和O $_{\rm xy}$四极序参数。四极序引入平面磁矩的交换各向异性。这导致在低场垂直[001]下的自旋翻转跃迁,这解释了观察到的变磁性。我们也得到了一个很好的解释的磁化率和比热的温度依赖性的领域都平行和垂直于[001]方向。

英文摘要:

The tetragonal compound YbRu$_{2}$Ge$_{2}$ exhibits a non-magnetic transition at $T_0$=10.2K and a magnetic transition at $T_1$=6.5K in zero magnetic field. We present a model for this material based on a quasi-quartet of Yb$^{3+}$ crystalline electric field (CEF) states and discuss its mean field solution. Taking into account the broadening of the specific heat jump at $T_0$ for magnetic field perpendicular to [001] and the decrease of $T_0$ with magnetic field parallel to [001], it is shown that ferro-quadrupole order of either O$_{2}^{2}$ or O$_{\rm xy}$ - type are prime candidates for the non-magnetic transition. Considering the matrix element of these quadrupole moments, we show that the lower CEF states of the level scheme consist of a $Γ_{6}$ and a $Γ_{7}$ doublet. This leads to induced type of O$_{2}^{2}$ and O$_{\rm xy}$ quadrupolar order parameters. The quadrupolar order introduces exchange anisotropy for planar magnetic moments. This causes a spin flop transition at low fields perpendicular [001] which explains the observed metamagnetism. We also obtain a good explanation for the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility and specific heat for fields both parallel and perpendicular to the [001] direction.
