摘要:

我们已经进行了X射线吸收光谱(XAS)测量的一系列Ir基5d过渡金属化合物,包括Ir,IrCl 3,IrO 2,Na 2 IrO 3,Sr 2 IrO 4,和Y 2 Ir2 O 7。通过比较在Ir L2和L3吸收边处观察到的“白线”特征的强度,可以提取关于这些系统中自旋轨道耦合强度的有价值的信息。我们观察到非常大的,非统计分支比在所有研究的Ir化合物,很少或没有依赖于化学成分,晶体结构,或电子状态。这一结果证实了强自旋轨道耦合效应的存在下,在新的铱酸盐,如Sr2IrO4,Na2IrO3,和Y2Ir2O7,并建议,即使是简单的Ir基化合物,如IrO2和IrCl3可能值得进一步研究。与此相反,XAS测量的Re为基础的5d化合物,如Re,ReO2,ReO3,和Ba2FeReO6,揭示统计分支比和可忽略的自旋轨道耦合效应。

英文摘要:

We have performed x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) measurements on a series of Ir-based 5d transition metal compounds, including Ir, IrCl3, IrO2, Na2IrO3, Sr2IrO4, and Y2Ir2O7. By comparing the intensity of the "white-line" features observed at the Ir L2 and L3 absorption edges, it is possible to extract valuable information about the strength of the spin-orbit coupling in these systems. We observe remarkably large, non-statistical branching ratios in all Ir compounds studied, with little or no dependence on chemical composition, crystal structure, or electronic state. This result confirms the presence of strong spin-orbit coupling effects in novel iridates such as Sr2IrO4, Na2IrO3, and Y2Ir2O7, and suggests that even simple Ir-based compounds such as IrO2 and IrCl3 may warrant further study. In contrast, XAS measurements on Re-based 5d compounds, such as Re, ReO2, ReO3, and Ba2FeReO6, reveal statistical branching ratios and negligible spin-orbit coupling effects.
