摘要:

氧化铜是一种独特的磁性铁电材料,其转变温度显著高于液氮的沸点。然而,高T $_c$多铁性在CuO中的机制仍然令人困惑。本文采用结合第一性原理计算和有效的哈密顿量模型,阐明了CuO高温$_c$多铁性的机制.我们发现,CuO包含两个磁性子晶格,具有较强的intrasublattice相互作用和较弱的挫折intersublattice相互作用,这可能是该化合物的高有序温度的主要原因之一。弱的自旋挫挫导致无公度的自旋激发,其显著地增强了多相的熵,并最终使CuO中的该相稳定。

英文摘要:

Cupric oxide is a unique magnetic ferroelectric material with a transition temperature significantly higher than the boiling point of liquid nitrogen. However, the mechanism of high-T$_c$ multiferroicity in CuO remains puzzling. In this paper, we clarify the mechanism of high-T$_c$ multiferroicity in CuO, using combined first-principles calculations and an effective Hamiltonian model. We find that CuO contains two magnetic sublattices, with strong intrasublattice interactions and weakly frustrated intersublattice interactions, which may represent one of the main reasons for the high ordering temperature of the compound. The weak spin frustration leads to incommensurate spin excitations that dramatically enhance the entropy of the mutliferroic phase and eventually stabilize that phase in CuO.
