光谱成像扫描隧道显微镜作为轨道结构和有序化的探针

Spectroscopic Imaging Scanning Tunneling Microscopy as a Probe of Orbital Structures and Ordering

Wei-Cheng Lee, Congjun Wu

摘要:

与电荷和自旋不同,过渡金属氧化物中电子的轨道自由度难以检测。通过分析光谱成像扫描隧道光谱的准粒子散射干涉(QPI)图样,对金属轨道活性体系中的一种新的探测方法进行了理论研究。在$t_{2g}$轨道系统中,$d_{xz}$和$d_{yz}$轨道带的QPI显示出特有的条纹状特征,这是由于它们的准一维性质,这对轨道杂化是稳健的。随着Sr $_3$ Ru $_2$ O $_7$和铁磷属元素化合物中提出的轨道有序的出现,条状的QPI花样表现出破坏$C_4$对称性的扭曲畸变.

英文摘要:

Unlike charge and spin, the orbital degree of freedom of electrons in transition metal oxides is difficult to detect. We present the theoretical study of a new detection method in metallic orbitally active systems by analyzing the quasiparticle scattering interference (QPI) pattern of the spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling spectroscopy, which is sensitive to orbital structures and orbital ordering. The QPIs for the $d_{xz}$ and $d_{yz}$-orbital bands in the $t_{2g}$-orbital systems show a characteristic stripe-like feature as a consequence of their quasi-one-dimensional nature, which is robust against orbital hybridization. With the occurrence of orbital ordering proposed in Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ and iron-pnictides, the stripe-like QPI patterns exhibit nematic distortion breaking the $C_4$-symmetry.
