Sr $_2$ CrTO $_6$体系的半金属反铁磁性(T = Os,Ru)

Half Semimetallic Antiferromagnetism in the Sr$_2$CrTO$_6$ System, T=Os, Ru

摘要:

根据第一性原理计算,双钙钛矿Sr $_2$ CrOsO $_6$是(或非常接近)自旋非对称半金属补偿亚铁磁体的实现。这种类型的近半金属反铁磁体是一种不寻常的现象,在这种化合物中更是如此,因为零间隙是偶然的,而不是对称性决定的。锇的大自旋-轨道耦合(SOC)打破了自旋平衡(没有SOC就没有净自旋矩):它使Os的自旋矩减少了0.27 $μ_B$,并在相反方向上诱导了0.17 $μ_B$的Os轨道矩。这些效应相结合(含少量氧),在\scoo中每个电池的净总力矩为0.54 $μ_B$,反映了SOC在该化合物中的较大影响。该值与测得的饱和力矩0.75 $μ_B$相当一致。由中子衍射得到的Os离子的净磁矩值(低温时为0.73 $μ_B$)与计算值(1.14 $μ_B$)不同。相当令人惊讶的是,在等价的Sr $_2$ CrRuO $_6$中,较小的SOC引起的自旋变化和轨道矩(主要在Ru上)几乎完全抵消。这使得Sr $_2$ CrRuO $_6$成为"半(半)金属反铁磁体"(实际上净总磁矩为零),即使当包括SOC时,金属通道也是小能带重叠的半金属。固定的自旋力矩(FSM)的计算为每一种化合物,说明它们如何提供不同的信息比的情况下,一个可伸缩材料。这些FSM的结果表明,铬力矩是一个数量级的刚性对纵向波动比是Os的时刻。

英文摘要:

Double perovskite Sr$_2$CrOsO$_6$ is (or is very close to) a realization of a spin-asymmetric semimetallic compensated ferrimagnet, according to first principles calculations. This type of near-half metallic antiferromagnet is an unusual occurrence, and more so in this compound because the zero gap is accidental rather than being symmetry determined. The large spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of osmium upsets the spin balance (no net spin moment without SOC): it reduces the Os spin moment by 0.27 $μ_B$ and induces an Os orbital moment of 0.17 $μ_B$ in the opposite direction. The effects combine (with small oxygen contributions) to give a net total moment of 0.54 $μ_B$ per cell in \scoo, reflecting a large impact of SOC in this compound. This value is in moderately good agreement with the measured saturation moment of 0.75 $μ_B$. The value of the net moment on the Os ion obtained from neutron diffraction (0.73 $μ_B$ at low temperature) differs from the calculated value (1.14 $μ_B$). Rather surprisingly, in isovalent Sr$_2$CrRuO$_6$ the smaller SOC-induced spin changes and orbital moments (mostly on Ru) almost exactly cancel. This makes Sr$_2$CrRuO$_6$ a "half (semi)metallic antiferromagnet" (practically vanishing net total moment) even when SOC is included, with the metallic channel being a small-band-overlap semimetal. Fixed spin moment (FSM) calculations are presented for each compound, illustrating how they provide different information than in the case of a nonmagnetic material. These FSM results indicate that the Cr moment is an order of magnitude stiffer against longitudinal fluctuations than is the Os moment.
