摘要:

过渡金属氧化物的结构、磁性和电子性质反映在原子电荷、自旋和轨道自由度上。共振X射线散射(RXS)使我们能够对所有这些电子度进行精确的研究。RXS将高Q分辨率X射线衍射与共振特性相结合,提供与原子光谱法获得的信息相似的信息(元素选择性和该特定元素的散射振幅的大幅增强以及对通过多极电跃迁的电子能级对称性的敏感性)。由于电子态与局部对称性耦合,RXS揭示了对称性破缺效应的发生,如晶格畸变、电子轨道有序化或电子电荷分布有序化的开始。我们将讨论的强度RXS在3D过渡金属氧化物的K吸收边的局部各向异性和电荷双折射的观察中描述的各种应用。这些共振效应的例子是(I)锰氧化物、Fe 3 O 4和铁氧体中的电荷有序跃迁和(II)Mn 3+钙钛矿、尖晶石铁氧体和钴氧化物中的禁戒反射和各向异性。在所有研究的情况下,电子(电荷和/或各向异性)的排序是由结构扭曲。

英文摘要:

The structural, magnetic and electronic properties of transition metal oxides reflect in atomic charge, spin and orbital degrees of freedom. Resonant x-ray scattering (RXS) allows us to perform an accurate investigation of all these electronic degrees. RXS combines high-Q resolution x-ray diffraction with the properties of the resonance providing information similar to that obtained by atomic spectroscopy (element selectivity and a large enhancement of scattering amplitude for this particular element and sensitivity to the symmetry of the electronic levels through the multipole electric transitions). Since electronic states are coupled to the local symmetry, RXS reveals the occurrence of symmetry breaking effects such as lattice distortions, onset of electronic orbital ordering or ordering of electronic charge distributions. We shall discuss the strength of RXS at the K absorption edge of 3d transition-metal oxides by describing various applications in the observation of local anisotropy and charge disproportionation. Examples of these resonant effects are (I) charge ordering transitions in manganites, Fe3O4 and ferrites and (II) forbidden reflections and anisotropy in Mn3+ perovskites, spinel ferrites and cobalt oxides. In all the studied cases, the electronic (charge and/or anisotropy) orderings are determined by the structural distortions.
