铁磷族化合物超导体中的自旋轨道挫挫和反常金属态

Spin-orbital frustrations and anomalous metallic state in iron-pnictide superconductors

F. Krüger, S. Kumar, J. Zaanen, J. van den Brink

摘要:

我们从强耦合的观点出发,包括轨道自由度,对最近发现的铁基超导体的母体化合物的异常金属态进行了理解。在Fe^{2+}离子的中间自旋(S=1)态的基础上,我们导出了活性t_{2g}轨道的Kugel-Khomskii自旋轨道哈密顿量.这是一个非常复杂的模型,有着令人沮丧的自旋和轨道相互作用。我们计算它的经典相图,并通过调查其自旋和轨道的限制,提供了一个理解的各种阶段的稳定性。实验观察到的自旋条纹状态被发现是稳定的,在一个广泛的制度的物理参数,并可以伴随着三种不同类型的轨道阶数。这些轨道铁和轨道条纹订单是特别有趣的,因为它们打破了面内晶格对称性-一个强大的功能,未掺杂的化合物。我们计算的有效自旋哈密顿的磁激发谱,观察到一个强大的减少有序的时刻,并指出,建议的轨道有序模式可以测量共振X射线衍射。

英文摘要:

We develop an understanding of the anomalous metal state of the parent compounds of recently discovered iron based superconductors starting from a strong coupling viewpoint, including orbital degrees of freedom. On the basis of an intermediate-spin (S=1) state for the Fe^{2+} ions, we derive a Kugel-Khomskii spin-orbital Hamiltonian for the active t_{2g} orbitals. It turns out to be a highly complex model with frustrated spin and orbital interactions. We compute its classical phase diagrams and provide an understanding for the stability of the various phases by investigating its spin-only and orbital-only limits. The experimentally observed spin-stripe state is found to be stable over a wide regime of physical parameters and can be accompanied by three different types of orbital orders. Of these the orbital-ferro and orbital-stripe orders are particularly interesting since they break the in-plane lattice symmetry -- a robust feature of the undoped compounds. We compute the magnetic excitation spectra for the effective spin Hamiltonian, observing a strong reduction of the ordered moment, and point out that the proposed orbital ordering pattern can be measured in resonant X-ray diffraction.
