稀土镍酸盐RNiO3的多铁性

Multiferroicity in rare-earth nickelates RNiO3

Gianluca Giovannetti, Sanjeev Kumar, Daniel Khomskii, Silvia Picozzi, Jeroen van den Brink

摘要:

我们发现,电荷有序的稀土镍酸盐的类型RNiO3(R= Ho,Lu,Pr和Nd)是具有非常大的磁致铁电(FE)极化的多铁性。这是我们从第一原理电子结构计算确定的。新出现的FE极化与这类材料中存在哪种磁有序的长期难题直接相关:它的方向和大小表明了实现的基态自旋配置的类型。反之亦然,不同磁序之间的小能量差异表明,所选择的磁序可以通过在存在电场的情况下冷却系统来稳定。

英文摘要:

We show that charge ordered rare-earth nickelates of the type RNiO3 (R= Ho, Lu, Pr and Nd) are multiferroic with very large magnetically induced ferroelectric (FE) polarizations. This we determine from first principles electronic structure calculations. The emerging FE polarization is directly tied to the long-standing puzzle of which kind of magnetic ordering is present in this class of materials: its direction and size indicate the type of ground-state spin configuration that is realized. Vice versa, the small energy differences between the different magnetic orderings suggest that a chosen magnetic ordering can be stabilized by cooling the system in presence of an electric field.
