轨道简并尖晶石氧化物的基态相

The ground state phases of orbitally degenerate spinel oxides

G. Jackeli

摘要:

本文综述了具有三重$t_{2g}$轨道简并度的自旋二分之一尖晶石氧化物的微观自旋轨道哈密顿量和基态性质。结果表明,对于任何轨道构型,相应的自旋哈密顿量的基态在经典极限下是无限简并的。自旋的量子性质提升了广泛的经典简并性,这种效应类似于量子涨落引起的无序中有序现象。这将驱动系统的非磁性自旋单重态二聚体歧管与残留的简并,由于二聚体的相对取向。本文还简要地评述了提高“取向”简并度的磁弹性机制。

英文摘要:

I review the microscopic spin-orbital Hamiltonian and ground state properties of spin one-half spinel oxides with threefold $t_{2g}$ orbital degeneracy. It is shown that for any orbital configuration a ground state of corresponding spin only Hamiltonian is infinitely degenerate in the classical limit. The extensive classical degeneracy is lifted by the quantum nature of the spins, an effect similar to order-out-of-disorder phenomenon by quantum fluctuations. This drives the system to a non-magnetic spin-singlet dimer manifold with a residual degeneracy due to relative orientation of dimers. The magneto-elastic mechanism of lifting the ``orientational'' degeneracy is also briefly reviewed.
