摘要:

利用软X射线发射谱(XES)和吸收谱(XAS)对BiMeO_3(Me = Sc,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni)系列化合物的电子结构进行了系统的研究。估计了该系列中所有化合物的带隙值。对于BiFeO 3的带隙为~0.9 eV,从O Ka XES和O 1 s XAS的对准获得。BiNiO 3的O 1 s XAS光谱表明空穴的形成是由于Ni 2+价态而不是Ni 3+价态。我们发现BiMeO 3的OKa XES和O 1 sXAS分别探测部分占据和空位O2 p态,与自旋极化能带结构计算得到的O2 p态密度一致。的O Ka XES光谱显示相同程度的Bi 6s-O 2 p杂化的所有化合物的系列。我们在这里认为,立体化学活动的Bi 6s孤对必须补充反演对称性破缺,使电极化的强度。对于BiMnO_3和BiFeO_3这两种多铁性材料,前者由于高度畸变的钙钛矿结构中特殊的轨道有序引起的反铁磁有序而破坏了反转对称性,后者具有无反转对称性的菱形晶体结构。

英文摘要:

We have performed a systematic study of the electronic structures of BiMeO3 (Me = Sc, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) series by soft X-ray emission (XES) and absorption (XAS) spectroscopy. The band gap values were estimated for all compounds in the series. For BiFeO3 a band gap of ~0.9 eV was obtained from the alignment of the O Ka XES and O 1s XAS. The O 1s XAS spectrum of BiNiO3 indicates that the formation of holes is due to a Ni2+ valency rather than a Ni3+ valency. We have found that the O Ka XES and O 1s XAS of BiMeO3 probing partially occupied and vacant O 2p states, respectively, are in agreement with the O 2p densities of states obtained from spin-polarized band structure calculations. The O Ka XES spectra show the same degree of Bi 6s--O 2p hybridization for all compounds in the series. We argue herein that the stereochemical activity of Bi 6s lone pairs must be supplemented with inversion symmetry breaking to allow electric polarization. For BiMnO3 and BiFeO3, two cases of multiferroic materials in this series, the former breaks the inversion symmetry due to the antiferromagnetic order induced by particular orbital ordering in the highly distorted perovskite structure and the latter has rhombohedral crystal structure without inversion symmetry.
