摘要:

利用从第一性原理电子结构计算中得到的实际低能模型参数,我们讨论了正交晶系NaV $_2$ O $_4$的准一维行为的起源,它由共边VO $_6$八面体的双链组成.我们认为,几何方面单独不能解释实验观察到的电子和磁性的各向异性的NaV $_2$ O $_4$。相反,我们将NaV $_2$ O $_4$的独特行为归因于一种特殊类型的轨道排序,它尊重正交$Pnma$对称性。这种轨道排序将所有的$t_{2g}$态分为两种类型:“定域”态和对称的“离域”态,定域态相对于镜面反射$y \rightarrow -$ $y$是反对称的。因此,NaV $_2$ O $_4$可被分类为双交换系统。形成金属带的对称轨道的方向取向似乎足以解释原子间磁相互作用的准一维特征和电阻率的各向异性。

英文摘要:

Using realistic low-energy model with parameters derived from the first-principles electronic structure calculation, we address the origin of the quasi-one-dimensional behavior in orthorhombic NaV$_2$O$_4$, consisting of the double chains of edge-sharing VO$_6$ octahedra. We argue that the geometrical aspect alone does not explain the experimentally observed anisotropy of electronic and magnetic properties of NaV$_2$O$_4$. Instead, we attribute the unique behavior of NaV$_2$O$_4$ to one particular type of the orbital ordering, which respects the orthorhombic $Pnma$ symmetry. This orbital ordering acts to divide all $t_{2g}$ states into two types: the `localized' ones, which are antisymmetric with respect to the mirror reflection $y \rightarrow -$$y$, and the symmetric `delocalized' ones. Thus, NaV$_2$O$_4$ can be classified as the double exchange system. The directional orientation of symmetric orbitals, which form the metallic band, appears to be sufficient to explain both quasi-one-dimensional character of interatomic magnetic interactions and the anisotropy of electrical resistivity.
