We provide a prescription to construct a microscopic model for heavy lanthanide systems such as Yb and Tm compounds by exploiting a $j$-$j$ coupling scheme. Here we consider a situation with a large spin-orbit coupling, in which $j$=5/2 sextet is fully occupied, while $j$=7/2 octet is partially occupied, where $j$ denotes total angular momentum. We evaluate crystalline electric field potentials and Coulomb interactions among the states of the $j$=7/2 octet to construct a local Hamiltonian in the $j$-$j$ coupling scheme. Then, it is found that the local $f$-electron states composed of the $j$=7/2 octet agree quite well with those of seven $f$ orbitals even for a realistic value of the spin-orbit coupling. As an example of the application of the present model, we discuss low-temperature multipole states of Yb- and Tm-based filled skutterudites by analyzing multipole susceptibility of the Anderson model in the $j$-$j$ coupling scheme with the use of a numerical renormalization group technique. From the comparison with the numerical results of the seven-orbital Anderson model, it is concluded that the multipole state is also well reproduced by the $j$-$j$ coupling model, even when we include the hybridization between conduction and $f$ electrons for the realistic value of the spin-orbit coupling. Finally, we briefly discuss future applications of the present prescription for theoretical research on heavy lanthanide compounds.
Electromagnons in multiferroic RMn2O5 compounds and their microscopic origin
本文总结了多铁性RMn_2 O_5化合物中电磁振子的现有实验数据,其中R表示稀土离子Y或Bi,并讨论了一个现实的微观模型,这些材料的假设基础上,磁-感生铁电性和电磁振子吸收完全依赖于各向同性海森堡交换和自旋与极性晶格模式的磁致伸缩耦合,相对论效应该模型解释了许多磁性和光学性质的RMn 2 O 5锰氧化物,如自旋重取向过渡,磁致极化,外观的电磁振子峰在非共线自旋状态和光的偏振,该峰被观察到。我们比较了RMn 2 O 5和RMnO 3化合物的电磁振子的实验和理论结果。
Microscopic Observation of Heavy Quasiparticle Formation in the Intermediate Valence Compound EuNi$_2$P$_2$: $^{31}$P NMR Study
我们报告了在高达7 T的各种磁场下对中间价化合物EuNi $_2$ P $_2$进行的$^{31}$ P NMR测量,该化合物在低温下显示出重电子态。在40 K以上的高温区,Knight位移符合居里-外斯定律,反映了局域的$4f$态。此外,在核自旋-晶格弛豫速率$1/T_1$中观察到Eu的平均价态随温度变化的行为。随着近藤效应的发生,$1/T_1$在40 K以下明显降低,并且在低温下奈特位移变得几乎恒定。根据这些结果,从微观的观点阐明了Eu $4f$电子和传导电子杂化形成重准粒子。此外,在低温下观察到特征自旋涨落,这将与EuNi $_2$ P $_2$的中间价态引起的价态涨落有关。
Rapidly fluctuating orbital occupancy above the orbital ordering transition in spin-gap compounds
几个低维自旋系统在TS以下的分子轨道内形成自旋二聚体相,与长程反铁磁有序竞争。通常,优先轨道占据和有序化是二聚化的实际驱动力,如在所谓的轨道驱动的自旋佩尔斯化合物(MgTi 2 O 4、CuIr 2S 4、La 4 Ru 2 O 10、NaTiSi 2 O 6等)中。通过对La_4Ru_2O_(10)的热导率k(T)的微观分析,我们发现在TS以上轨道占有率迅速波动,导致轨道-液体状态。强的轨道-晶格耦合引入了动态键长波动,其散射声子以产生与TS以上的T成比例的k(T)(即玻璃状)。这种声子玻璃声子晶体的转变发生在其他自旋二聚体系统,如NaTiSi 2 O 6,指向一个普遍的现象。

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Reveals Disordered Level-Crossing Physics in the Bose-Glass Regime of the Br-doped Ni(Cl$_{1-x}$Br$_x$)$_2$-4SC(NH$_2$)$_2$ Compound at a High Magnetic Field
通过对Br键掺杂DTN化合物Ni(Cl(1-x)Br_x)_2 -4SC(NH_2)_2(DTNX)的核磁共振(NMR)1/T_1弛豫速率的测量,发现其高磁场“玻色-玻璃”区的低能自旋动力学受一个强自旋涨落峰的支配,该峰位于H ~* = 13.6T,几乎与掺杂无关.从它的温度和场的依赖性,我们得出结论,这对应于一个水平交叉的能级有关的掺杂诱导的杂质状态。从附近的自旋掺杂Br的本地NMR信号的观察使我们能够充分表征这种杂质状态。因此,我们量化了微观理论模型,为更好地理解DTNX中的玻色玻璃物理铺平了道路,正如相关的理论研究所揭示的那样[M。Dupont,S. Capponi和N. Laflorencie,Phys. Rev. Lett. 118,067204(2017),arXiv:1610.05136]。

Electronic structure and exotic exchange splitting in spin-density-wave states of BaFe$_2$As$_2$
母体化合物的磁性通常与超导电性的微观机制密切相关。本文报道了对新发现的铁基超导体BaFe $_2$ As $_2$的电子结构的首次直接测量,为进一步的研究提供了基础。我们发现BaFe $_2$ As $_2$中的自旋密度波(SDW)的能量是通过能带结构的奇异交换劈裂而降低的,而不是通过费米表面的巡游电子嵌套。这清楚地表明,金属SDW状态可以单独由局部磁矩的相互作用引起,类似于铜酸盐母体化合物中的反铁磁序的性质。
