摘要:

支持和反对赫斯勒化合物Co2FeSi的半金属基态的实验证据都已发表。基于密度泛函理论的计算表明非半金属基态。有人认为,必须通过LDA+U方法考虑d电子的原位库仑相互作用,该方法预测U = 2.5的半金属基态。4.5 EV. X射线磁性线性二向色性(XMLD)可用作评估LDA+U方法的适当性的工具:LDA+U或GGA+U方案内的计算光谱不同于LDA或GGA内的那些。由于它能够分离不同的轨道对称性,XMLD使我们能够区分Co2FeSi电子结构的不同模型。在这篇文章中,我们将讨论实验XMLD光谱,并将它们与详细的第一性原理计算进行比较。我们的研究结果为LDA+U或GGA+U能带结构的不足提供了证据,而用GGA和固定自旋矩为6 μ B的约束计算则给出了实验与理论之间更好的总体一致性。

英文摘要:

Experimental evidence both for and against a half-metallic ground-state of the Heusler compound Co2FeSi has been published. Density functional theory based calculations suggest a non half-metallic ground state. It has been argued, that on-site Coulomb interaction of the d electrons has to be taken into account via the LDA+U method, which predicts a half-metallic ground-state for U = 2.5...4.5 eV. X-ray magnetic linear dichroism (XMLD) can be used as a tool to assess the appropriateness of the LDA+U approach: the calculated spectra within the LDA+U or GGA+U schemes are different from those within the LDA or GGA. Due to its ability to separate different orbital symmetries, XMLD allows us to distinguish between different models of the electronic structure of Co2FeSi. In this article we discuss experimental XMLD spectra and compare them with detailed first principles calculations. Our findings give evidence for the inadequacy of the LDA+U or GGA+U band structures, whereas constrained calculations with the GGA and a fixed spin moment of 6 μ_B give better overall agreement between experiment and theory.
