摘要:

我们报道了(SrTiO $_{3}$)$_{5}$ /(SrRuO $_{3}$)$_{1}$超晶格的结构和电子性质的第一性原理表征。我们表明,该系统具有自旋极化的二维电子气,非常局限于4 $d$轨道的钌在SrRuO $_{3}$层。超晶格中的每一个界面都表现为少自旋半金属铁磁体,其磁矩为$μ$ = 2.0 $μ_{\rm B}$ /SrRuO $_{3}$单位。电子态密度的形状,半金属性和磁性的解释在一个简化的紧束缚模型,只考虑$t_{2g}$轨道加上(i)系统的二维性,和(ii)强电子相关。

英文摘要:

We report first principles characterization of the structural and electronic properties of (SrTiO$_{3}$)$_{5}$/(SrRuO$_{3}$)$_{1}$ superlattices. We show that the system exhibits a spin-polarized two-dimensional electron gas, extremely confined to the 4$d$ orbitals of Ru in the SrRuO$_{3}$ layer. Every interface in the superlattice behaves as a minority-spin half-metal ferromagnet, with a magnetic moment of $μ$ = 2.0 $μ_{\rm B}$/SrRuO$_{3}$ unit. The shape of the electronic density of states, half metallicity and magnetism are explained in terms of a simplified tight-binding model, considering only the $t_{2g}$ orbitals plus (i) the bi-dimensionality of the system, and (ii) strong electron correlations.
