摘要:

采用密度泛函理论研究了甲胺插层正交碱掺杂富勒烯(CH_3 NH_2)K_3C_(60)的电子结构和磁相互作用。与更简单的氨插层化合物(NH3)K3 C60一样,正交晶场各向异性Δ提升了Γ点处的t1 u三重简并,并将系统深入到Mott绝缘相。然而,计算的Δ和传导电子带宽W不能单独解释甲胺化合物的异常低的实验Néel温度(T_N = 11 K),而氨化合物的T_N = 40 K要高得多。CH 3 NH 2和C60^{3-}之间的显著相互作用负责特定的伪Jahn-Teller富勒烯笼畸变的稳定性和随后的低自旋S = 1/2状态。这些相互作用似乎也会影响磁性,因为富勒烯间的交换相互作用取决于相邻C60^{3-}分子的伪Jahn-Teller扭曲的相对取向。对于CH 3 NH 2-K^+基团的铁取向有序,我们发现磁交换相互作用中存在明显的降维现象,这可以解释Néel温度被抑制的原因。由CH 3 NH 2-K^+基团的取向无序引起的交换相互作用的无序可能进一步有助于这种抑制。

英文摘要:

We study the electronic structure and magnetic interactions in methylamine-intercalated orthorhombic alkali-doped fullerene (CH3NH2)K3C60 within the density functional theory. As in the simpler ammonia intercalated compound (NH3)K3C60, the orthorhombic crystal-field anisotropy Δlifts the t1u triple degeneracy at the Γpoint and drives the system deep into the Mott-insulating phase. However, the computed Δand conduction electron bandwidth W cannot alone account for the abnormally low experimental Néel temperature, T_N = 11 K of the methylamine compound, compared to the much higher value T_N = 40 K of the ammonia one. Significant interactions between CH3NH2 and C60^{3-} are responsible for the stabilization of particular pseudo-Jahn-Teller fullerene-cage distortions and the ensuing low-spin S = 1/2 state. These interactions also seem to affect the magnetic properties, as interfullerene exchange interactions depend on the relative orientation of pseudo-Jahn-Teller distortions of neighboring C60^{3-} molecules. For the ferro-orientational order of CH3NH2-K^+ groups we find an apparent reduced dimensionality in magnetic exchange interactions, which may explain the suppressed Néel temperature. The disorder in exchange interactions caused by orientational disorder of CH3NH2-K^+ groups could further contribute to this suppression.
