摘要:

用中子散射方法研究了La $_{1-x}$ A $_{x}$ CoO $_{3}$(A = Ca,Sr,Ba)中磁基态的复杂性质.先前观察到,铁磁(FM)以及反铁磁(AFM)的相关性可以共存之前的绝缘体-金属转变(IMT)。我们关注Ba相图中的一个独特区域,从x = 0.17 - 0.22,在该区域中,首先出现一个相称的AFM相,其传播矢量k =(0,-0.5,0.5),并且Co矩在菱形晶格的(001)$_{R}$平面中。随着x的增加,AFM分量减弱,同时出现FM阶,FM Co矩沿(001)$_{R}$(=(111)$_{C}$)轴定向。当x = 0.22时,随着晶体完全转变为正交(Pnma)结构,出现到新FM分量的自旋翻转,其中Co矩指向新方向,(001)$_{O}$(=(110)$_{C}$)。正是磁Pnma相的出现导致了IMT。

英文摘要:

The complex nature of the magnetic ground state in La$_{1-x}$A$_{x}$CoO$_{3}$ (A = Ca, Sr, Ba) has been investigated via neutron scattering. It was previously observed that ferromagnetic (FM) as well as antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations can coexist prior to the insulator-metal transition (IMT). We focused on a unique region in the Ba phase diagram, from x = 0.17 - 0.22, in which a commensurate AFM phase appears first with a propagation vector, k = (0, -0.5, 0.5), and the Co moment in the (001)$_{R}$ plane of the rhombohedral lattice. With increasing x, the AFM component weakens while an FM order appears with the FM Co moment directed along the (001)$_{R}$ (=(111)$_{C}$) axis. By x = 0.22, a spin flip to new FM component appears as the crystal fully transforms to an orthorhombic (Pnma) structure, with the Co moments pointing along a new direction, (001)$_{O}$ (=(110)$_{C}$). It is the emergence of the magnetic Pnma phase that leads to IMT.
