摘要:

在本通讯中,我们提出了第一原理研究Pr $_{1-x}$ Sr $_{x}$ MnO $_3$与$x = 0.25$。虽然该系统的母体化合物是具有不同结构和磁基态的反铁磁绝缘体,但$x = 0.25$处于Pr $_{1-x}$ Sr $_{x}$ MnO $_3$相图的巨磁电阻区[C. Martin,A. Maignan,M.埃尔维尤湾Raveau,Phys.Rev.B60(1999)12191]。我们对端点化合物的能带结构计算与已有的理论和实验结果吻合得很好[C。Martin,A. Maignan,M.埃尔维尤湾Raveau,Phys.Rev.B60(1999)12191; Rune Sondena,P. Ravindran,Svein Stolen,Tor Grande,Michael Hanfland,Phys.Rev.B74(2006)144102]。有趣的是,我们的计算表明,Pr $_{0.75}$ Sr $_{0.25}$ MnO $_3$具有半金属特性,在少数带中具有2.8 eV的巨大带隙。我们相信,这一结果将燃料进一步感兴趣的一些这些特殊组合物的巨大磁阻锰氧化物,因为它们可能是潜在的候选人自旋电子器件。我们讨论了Pr $_{0.75}$ Sr $_{0.25}$ MnO $_3$的半金属性的变化,作为Sr掺杂PrMnO $_3$的结果的轨道杂化。此外,我们强调了半金属性的重要性,一个统一的理解巨大的磁电阻效应。

英文摘要:

In this communication we present a first principle study of Pr$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$MnO$_3$ with $x = 0.25$. While the parent compounds of this system are antiferromagnetic insulators with different structural and magnetic ground states, the $x = 0.25$ is in the colossal magnetoresistance regime of the Pr$_{1-x}$Sr$_{x}$MnO$_3$ phase diagram [C. Martin, A. Maignan, M. Hervieu, B. Raveau, Phys. Rev. B 60 (1999) 12191]. Our band structure calculations for the end-point compounds matches well with the existing theoretical and experimental results [C. Martin, A. Maignan, M. Hervieu, B. Raveau, Phys. Rev. B 60 (1999) 12191; Rune Sondena, P. Ravindran, Svein Stolen, Tor Grande, Michael Hanfland, Phys. Rev. B 74 (2006) 144102]. Interestingly, our calculations show that the Pr$_{0.75}$Sr$_{0.25}$MnO$_3$ has a half-metallic character with a huge band gap of 2.8 eV in the minority band. We believe this result would fuel further interest in some of these special compositions of colossal magnetoresistive manganites as they could be potential candidates for spintronic devices. We discuss the half-metallicity of the Pr$_{0.75}$Sr$_{0.25}$MnO$_3$ in the light of changes in the orbital hybridization as a result of Sr doping in PrMnO$_3$. Further, we highlight the importance of half-metallicity for a consolidated understanding of colossal magnetoresistance effect.
