基于第一性原理计算的MnV2O4轨道定序

Proposed Orbital Ordering in MnV2O4 from First-principles Calculations

S. Sarkar, T. Maitra, Roser Valenti, T. Saha-Dasgupta

摘要:

基于密度泛函计算,我们提出了一个可能的轨道有序MnV2O4,其中包括轨道链运行沿晶体a和b方向与轨道交替旋转约45度内每个链。我们表明,考虑相关效应的实施在本地自旋密度近似(LSDA)+U的方法是至关重要的空间群对称性的正确描述。这意味着相关驱动的轨道排序有很强的影响,在这个系统中的结构转变。包含自旋轨道效应似乎并不影响轨道排序模式。我们进一步发现,建议的轨道安排有利于V自旋的非共线磁有序,如实验所观察到的。还计算和讨论了V自旋之间的交换耦合。

英文摘要:

Based on density functional calculations, we propose a possible orbital ordering in MnV2O4 which consists of orbital chains running along crystallographic a and b directions with orbitals rotated alternatively by about 45 degrees within each chain. We show that the consideration of correlation effects as implemented in the local spin density approximation (LSDA)+U approach is crucial for a correct description of the space group symmetry. This implies that the correlation-driven orbital ordering has a strong influence on the structural transitions in this system. Inclusion of spin-orbit effects does not seem to influence the orbital ordering pattern. We further find that the proposed orbital arrangement favours a noncollinear magnetic ordering of V spins, as observed experimentally. Exchange couplings among V spins are also calculated and discussed.
