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.
Infrared Studies of a La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3 Single Crystal: Optical Magnetoconductivity in a Half-Metallic Ferromagnet
研究了$\rm La_{0.67}Ca_{0.33}MnO_3$单晶在宽温度(78-340 K)、磁场(0-16 T)和波数(20-9000 cm $^{-1}$)范围内的红外反射率。在低于居里温度$T_C=307 K$的铁磁状态下,光学电导率从类似德鲁德的行为逐渐变化到5000 cm $^{-1}$附近的宽峰特征。的光学电导率的各种功能承担惊人的相似之处,最近的理论预测的基础上的相互作用的双交换相互作用和Jahn-Teller电子-声子耦合。在$T_C$附近观察到较大的光学导磁率。
Ferromagnetic half-metallicity in YBaCo2O6 and spin-states driven metal-insulator transition
钴酸盐具有丰富的自旋态和多样的性质。利用自旋态图像和第一性原理计算,研究了混合价双钙钛矿结构YBaCo 2 O 6的电子结构和磁性.发现YBaCo_2 O_6处于形式的中自旋(IS)Co_(3+)/低自旋(LS)Co_(4+)基态。铁磁半金属性是由于电子从IS-Co ~(3+)通过双交换跃迁到LS-Co ~(4+)而产生的,这很好地解释了最近的实验结果。借助于蒙特卡罗模拟,讨论了氧空位对磁化强度和居里温度的影响。我们还探讨了其他几种可能的自旋态及其有趣的电子/磁性。此外,我们预测,超过3%的体积膨胀将调整到高自旋(HS)Co 3 +/LS Co 4+铁磁态的YBaCo 2 O 6,同时驱动金属-绝缘体转变。因此,自旋态是用于调谐钴酸盐的材料性质的有用参数。

Compensated Half-metallicity in the Trigonally Distorted Perovskite-type NiCrO$_3$
利用第一性原理计算,我们研究了三角畸变(R-3c)钙钛矿衍生的NiCrO $_3$的电子和磁性。在局域自旋密度近似(LSDA)下,我们的计算表明,该系统是一个精确补偿的半金属(CHM)。Cr 2.04、反取向Ni -1.41和3个氧-0.63(以$μ_B$为单位)的局部自旋矩表明高自旋S=3/2 Cr $^{3+}$和S=3/2(NiO $_3$)$^{3-}$单位。考虑到在LDA+U方法下Ni和Cr离子上的原位库仑排斥U的合理值,该系统成为在自旋向上通道中具有窄间隙的绝缘体(如Chamberland和Cloud所报道的),而另一个通道具有约3eV的大间隙。虽然包含U似乎导致过渡Ni $^{2+} --> high spin S=3/2 Ni$ ^{3+} $, consistent with the experimentally observed effective moment, the zero net moment remains unchanged due to either reduction of oxygen local moments or enhancement of Cr local moment. Compression of volume by 10% leads to CHM even when correlation effects are inclu…
