高$T_c$磁性铁电体CuO铁电性的起源

Origin of ferroelectricity in high $T_c$ magnetic ferroelectric CuO

Guangxi Jin, Kun Cao, Guang-Can Guo, Lixin He

摘要:

“磁性铁电体”已经在广泛的螺旋磁体中发现。然而,这些材料都遭受低临界温度,其通常低于40 K,由于强自旋挫折。最近发现CuO在更高的有序温度($\sim$ 230 K)下具有多铁性。为了阐明CuO高有序化温度的起源,我们通过第一性原理方法研究了CuO的结构、电子和磁性。我们发现,CuO具有非常特殊的近公度螺旋磁结构,这是通过Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用稳定。CuO的自旋阻挫效应相对较弱,这是该化合物具有高有序温度的主要原因之一。我们认为,高$T_c$磁性铁电材料可以在类似于CuO的磁性结构的双子晶格中找到。

英文摘要:

"Magnetic ferroelectric" has been found in a wide range of spiral magnets. However, these materials all suffer from low critical temperatures, which are usually below 40 K, due to strong spin frustration. Recently, CuO has been found to be multiferroic at much higher ordering temperature ($\sim$ 230K). To clarify the origin of the high ordering temperature in CuO, we investigate the structural, electronic and magnetic properties of CuO via first-principles methods. We find that CuO has very special nearly commensurate spiral magnetic structure, which is stabilized via the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. The spin frustration in CuO is relatively weak, which is one of the main reasons that the compound have high ordering temperature. We propose that high $T_c$ magnetic ferroelectric materials can be found in double sublattices of magnetic structures similar to that of CuO.
