铜酸盐化合物L边共振非弹性X射线散射中的磁激发

Magnetic excitations in L-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering from cuprate compounds

Jun-ichi Igarashi, Tatsuya Nagao

摘要:

研究了未掺杂铜氧化物的L边共振非弹性X射线散射(RIXS)中的磁激发谱。我们分析了强微扰作用于中间态的二阶偶极允许过程,在中间态中,自旋自由度在核孔位置处丢失。在忽略邻近位置微扰的近似下,我们导出了散射通道中自旋翻转终态随极化方向的变化,从而得到了用横向自旋分量的动力学结构因子表示的RIXS谱.我们假设在不改变极化的情况下,通道中自旋守恒的终态为球形,这导致RIXS谱表示为“交换”型多自旋关联函数。数值计算的过渡振幅,这些最终状态上的有限大小的集群,我们得到了相当数量的过渡振幅的自旋守恒的最终状态相比,自旋翻转的最终状态。我们用1/S展开法处理末态的巡游磁激发。用1/S计算高阶修正后,发现单磁振子激发的谱峰随其权重减小,而三磁振子激发的谱峰出现连续谱。两个磁振子之间的相互作用是通过总结梯形图来处理的。在此基础上,对Sr_2CuO_2Cl_2晶体的L_3边RIXS谱进行了分析,并与实验结果进行了比较。结果表明,三磁振子激发和双磁振子激发都使单磁振子峰的高能侧产生强度,使谱形不对称且宽度较宽,与实验符合得很好。

英文摘要:

We study the magnetic excitation spectra in L-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) from undoped cuprates. We analyze the second-order dipole allowed process that the strong perturbation works through the intermediate state in which the spin degree of freedom is lost at the core-hole site. Within the approximation neglecting the perturbation on the neighboring sites, we derive the spin-flip final state in the scattering channel with changing the polarization, which leads to the RIXS spectra expressed as the dynamical structure factor of the transverse spin components. We assume a spherical form of the spin-conserving final state in the channel without changing the polarization, which leads to the RIXS spectra expressed as the 'exchange'-type multi-spin correlation function. Evaluating numerically the transition amplitudes to these final states on a finite-size cluster, we obtain a sizable amount of the transition amplitude to the spin-conserving final state in comparison with that to the spin-flip final state. We treat the itinerant magnetic excitations in the final state by means of the 1/S-expansion method. Evaluating the higher-order correction with 1/S, we find that the peak arising from the one-magnon excitation is reduced with its weight, and the continuous spectra arising from the three-magnon excitations come out. The interaction between two magnons is treated by summing up the ladder diagrams. On the basis of these results, we analyze the L_3-edge RIXS spectra in Sr_2CuO_2Cl_2 in comparison with the experiment. It is shown that the three-magnon excitations as well as the two-magnon excitations give rise to the intensity in the high energy side of the one-magnon peak, making the spectral shape asymmetric with wide width, in good agreement with the experiment.
