摘要:

我们讨论了顺磁材料中自旋轨道极化和有序的概念,并讨论了它们在过渡金属氧化物中的后果。将密度泛函和动力学平均场论相结合的方法推广到具有大自旋轨道相互作用的材料,研究了Sr 2 IrO 4和Sr 2 RhO 4顺磁相的电子激发.我们发现,自旋轨道相互作用,结构扭曲和库仑相互作用的相互作用抑制自旋轨道波动。结果表明,室温下Sr 2 IrO 4是顺磁自旋轨道有序的莫特绝缘体。在Sr 2 RhO 4中,有效的自旋-轨道简并度降低,但由于较小的自旋-轨道和较小的库仑相互作用,材料保持金属性。我们发现我们的从头计算Sr 2 RhO 4与角分辨光电发射很好的协议,并预测光谱的顺磁相Sr 2 IrO 4。

英文摘要:

We discuss the notions of spin-orbital polarization and ordering in paramagnetic materials, and address their consequences in transition metal oxides. Extending the combined density functional and dynamical mean field theory scheme to the case of materials with large spin-orbit interactions, we investigate the electronic excitations of the paramagnetic phases of Sr2IrO4 and Sr2RhO4. We show that the interplay of spin-orbit interactions, structural distortions and Coulomb interactions suppresses spin-orbital fluctuations. As a result, the room temperature phase of Sr2IrO4 is a paramagnetic spin-orbitally ordered Mott insulator. In Sr2RhO4, the effective spin-orbital degeneracy is reduced, but the material remains metallic, due to both, smaller spin-orbit and smaller Coulomb interactions. We find excellent agreement of our ab-initio calculations for Sr2RhO4 with angle-resolved photoemission, and make predictions for spectra of the paramagnetic phase of Sr2IrO4.
