具有双简并轨道的棋盘格点中的合作轨道序和Peierls不稳定性
Cooperative orbital ordering and Peierls instability in the checkerboard lattice with doubly degenerate orbitals
摘要：
有人认为，在一些尖晶石材料的金属-绝缘体转变与部分填充t_2gd-轨道可以解释为轨道驱动的Peierls不稳定性。受这些建议的启发，我们从理论上研究了在一个简化的理论模型内形成这种轨道驱动态的可能性，该模型是一个二维棋盘格，每个原子位点具有两个方向的金属轨道。我们包括轨道排序和原子间的电子-声子相互作用自洽在一个半经典近似，和现场内和轨道间的电子-电子相互作用在Hartree-Fock水平。我们发现了一个稳定的，轨道诱导Peierls键二聚态的载流子浓度为每个原子一个电子。Peierls键畸变模式继续是周期2键二聚化，即使当形成一维带的轨道中的电荷密度显著小于1时。相反，对于每个原子半个电子的载流子密度，即使对于几乎完全的轨道有序，单电子理论以及电子-电子相互作用的平均场论也不存在Peierls不稳定性。我们讨论了复杂的电荷，债券，和尖晶石中发现的轨道排序的影响，我们的结果。
英文摘要：
It has been suggested that the metal-insulator transitions in a number of spinel materials with partially-filled t_2g d-orbitals can be explained as orbitally-driven Peierls instabilities. Motivated by these suggestions, we examine theoretically the possibility of formation of such orbitally-driven states within a simplified theoretical model, a two-dimensional checkerboard lattice with two directional metal orbitals per atomic site. We include orbital ordering and inter-atom electron-phonon interactions self-consistently within a semi-classical approximation, and onsite intra- and inter-orbital electron-electron interactions at the Hartree-Fock level. We find a stable, orbitally-induced Peierls bond-dimerized state for carrier concentration of one electron per atom. The Peierls bond distortion pattern continues to be period 2 bond-dimerization even when the charge density in the orbitals forming the one-dimensional band is significantly smaller than 1. In contrast, for carrier density of half an electron per atom the Peierls instability is absent within one-electron theory as well as mean-field theory of electron-electron interactions, even for nearly complete orbital ordering. We discuss the implications of our results in relation to complex charge, bond, and orbital-ordering found in spinels.
