Sr $_3$ Ru $_2$ O $_7$的超净晶体在低温下经历变磁转变。该转变在所施加的场方向上显示出强的各向异性,其中临界场$H_c$的范围从$H\perp c$的$\sim 5.1$ T到$H\parallel c$的$\sim 8$ T。此外,对超纯样品的研究揭示了在$c$方向上的场的变磁力线的分叉,并且有人认为在磁化跳跃之间出现了一个反相。本研究的目的是解释这些现象的场方向各向异性。基于微观紧束缚模型,我们通过范霍夫奇异性方案引入了变磁跃迁。我们表明,O-八面体围绕c轴的旋转预期这种材料在平面内引入了交错的自旋轨道耦合,自然导致磁响应的各向异性。我们将低温相描述为前向散射过程所青睐的非稳态。自旋-轨道耦合对临界场$H_c$和相变的发生都有影响。
英文摘要:
Ultra-clean crystals of Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$ undergo a metamagnetic transition at low temperatures. This transition shows a strong anisotropy in the applied field direction with the critical field $H_c$ ranging from $\sim 5.1$T for $H\perp c$ to $\sim 8$T for $H\parallel c$. In addition, studies on ultra-pure samples revealed a bifurcation of the metamagnetic line for fields in $c$-direction and it is argued that a nematic phase emerges between the magnetization jumps. The aim of this study is to explain the field-direction anisotropy of these phenomena. Based on a microscopic tight-binding model, we introduce the metamagnetic transition by means of a van Hove singularity scenario. We show that the rotation of the O-octahedra around the c-axis expected for this material introduces a staggered spin-orbit coupling within the planes and naturally leads to an anisotropy of the magnetic response. We describe the low-temperature phase as a nematic state favored by forward scattering processes. The spin-orbit coupling shows an influence on both, the critical field $H_c$ and the occurrence of the nematic phase.
Elastic properties of hidden order in URu$_{\text2}$Si$_{\text2}$ are reproduced by a staggered nematic
我们发展了一个唯象平均场论,描述了在URu $_{\text2}$ Si $_{\text2}$中的隐藏顺序相位,作为沿$c$轴交错的$\text B_{\text{1g}}$表示的一个分支。几个实验功能再现由这个理论:拓扑结构的温度-压力相图,弹性模量$(C_{11}-C_{12})/2$以上的过渡在环境压力下的响应,和正交对称性破缺的高压反铁磁相。在这种情况下,隐序的特征在于沿$c$轴调制的旋转对称性破缺,高压相的主序是未调制的顺磁相,而将这两个相与高温顺磁相连接的三相点是Lifshitz点。
