(Sr 1-xCax)3Ru 2 O 7具有复杂的磁性状态,从长程反铁磁有序态、重质量近铁磁(NFM)态到巡游变磁(IMM)态。在0.4 > x > 0.08组成范围内出现的NFM状态在低温下冻结成团簇自旋玻璃(CSG)相[Z. Qu等人,B78,180407(R)(2008)]。本文给出了(Sr_(1-x)Cax)_3Ru_2 O_7在0.4 > x > 0.08组成范围内的磁化强度和比热的标度分析。我们发现,在自旋冻结温度T $_f$之上的温度区域,等温磁化强度M(H)和电子比热C_e(T)的温度依赖性表现出反常的幂律奇异性,这两个量都由一个单一的指数控制。磁化强度M(T)随温度的变化也呈幂律关系,但其指数与由M(H)和C_e(T)导出的指数有很大不同。分析进一步揭示了在自旋冻结温度T_f和标度温度T_scaling之间的温度范围内,磁化强度数据M(H,T)服从M(H,T)\propto H^αf(H/T^δ)的唯象标度律. T_scaling随Ca含量的降低而系统地减小。该标度律在临界浓度x = 0.1附近失效,在该临界浓度处发生CSG到IMM的相变。我们从无序对量子相变的影响的角度讨论了这些行为。
英文摘要:
(Sr1-xCax)3Ru2O7 is characterized by complex magnetic states, spanning from a long-range antiferromagnetically ordered state over an unusual heavy-mass nearly ferromagnetic (NFM) state to an itinerant metamagnetic (IMM) state. The NFM state, which occurs in the 0.4 > x > 0.08 composition range, freezes into a cluster-spin-glass (CSG) phase at low temperatures [Z. Qu et al., Phys. Rev. B 78, 180407(R) (2008)]. In this article, we present the scaling analyses of magnetization and the specific heat for (Sr1-xCax)3Ru2O7 in the 0.4 > x > 0.08 composition range. We find that in a temperature region immediately above the spin freezing temperature T$_f$, the isothermal magnetization M(H) and the temperature dependence of electronic specific heat C_e(T) exhibit anomalous power-law singularities; both quantities are controlled by a single exponent. The temperature dependence of magnetization M(T) also displays a power-law behavior, but its exponent differs remarkably from that derived from M(H) and C_e(T). Our analyses further reveal that the magnetization data M(H,T) obey a phenomenological scaling law of M(H,T) \propto H^αf(H/T^δ) in a temperature region between the spin freezing temperature T_f and the scaling temperature T_scaling. T_scaling systematically decreases with the decease of Ca content. This scaling law breaks down near the critical concentration x = 0.1 where a CSG-to-IMM phase transition occurs. We discussed these behaviors in term of the effect of disorder on the quantum phase transition.
Complex electronic states in double layered ruthenates (Sr1-xCax)3Ru2O7
(Sr $_{1-x}$ Ca $_x$)$_3$ Ru $_2$ O $_7$(0 $\leq x \leq$ 1)的磁基态是复杂的,从巡回变磁态(0 $\leq x <$ 0.08)到不寻常的重质量近铁磁(FM)态(0.08 $< x <$ 0.4),最后到反铁磁(AFM)态(0.4 $\leq x \leq$ 1)。在这份报告中,我们阐明了这些磁态的电子性质,并表明,在这个系统中的电子和磁性是强耦合的。电子基态从$x =$ 1.0的AFM准二维金属演化到$0.4 \leq x < 1.0$的Anderson局域态(AFM区域)。当磁性状态经历从AFM到近FM状态的转变时,对于$0.25 \leq x < 0.4$,电子基态切换到由磁散射诱导的弱局域态,然后切换到具有面内电阻率$ρ_{ab} \propto T^α$($α>$ 2)的磁性金属态,对于$0.08 < x < 0.25$。当磁基态进入$x < 0.08$的巡游变磁态时,系统最终转变为费米液体基态。当$x$接近临界组成($x \sim$ 0.08)时,费米液体温度被抑制到零开尔文,并且观察到非费米液体行为。这些结果表明,在双层双链酸盐的电荷和自旋自由度之间的强烈的相互作用。
Unusual heavy-mass nearly ferromagnetic state with a surprisingly large Wilson ratio in the double layered ruthenates (Sr$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$)$_{3}$Ru$_{2}$O$_{7}$
我们报告了一个不寻常的近铁磁性,重质量态,具有令人惊讶的大威尔逊比$R_{\textrm{w}}$(例如,$R_{\textrm{w}}\sim$ 700,用于$x =$ 0.2)在双层双油酸酯(Sr $_{1-x}$ Ca $_{x}$)中的混合物。这种状态不会演变成一个长程铁磁有序状态,尽管相当强的铁磁关联,但冻结成一个集群自旋玻璃在低温下。此外,观察到的非费米液体行为的证据作为自旋冻结温度的集群自旋玻璃接近零附近的$x \approx$ 0.1。我们讨论了这种独特的磁性状态的起源从费米表面的信息探测霍尔效应测量。
Anomalous Itinerant-Electron Metamagnetic Transition in the Layered Sr1-xCaxCo2P2 System
本文报道了层状巡游体系Sr $_{1-x}$ Ca $_x$ Co $_2$ P $_2$在高达70 T的磁场中的磁性。对于交换增强的泡利顺磁金属SrCo $_2$ P $_2$,磁化曲线显示两个特征异常。低场异常很小,没有明显的磁滞现象,而高场异常则是巡游电子变磁转变的典型行为。由于自由能的朗道展开,这种磁化曲线的连续转变不能用IEMT的传统唯象理论来解释,而是用具有可区分的两个能态的扩展朗道展开理论来解释。在对Sr $_{1-x}$ Ca $_x$ Co $_2$ P $_2$的系统研究中,随着$x$增加到0.5,变磁跃迁场减小并趋于零,表明在$x \sim 0.5$处存在铁磁量子临界点(QCP)。
Electronic Structure and Magnetism of the Triple-layered Ruthenate Sr$_{4}$Ru$_{3}$O$_{10}$
我们报告的电子能带结构计算锶$_{4}$钌$_{3}$ O $_{10}$,显示铁磁性和变磁性的行为。密度泛函计算发现,Ru的基态是铁磁的,与实验结果一致,同时发现,在Ru的4d态中加入库仑-哈伯德相互作用U对费米面有显著的影响,揭示了库仑相互作用和关联多体物理的作用.少数自旋带主要是空的,费米面在远离$Γ$点的布里渊区的外部区域,带向上急剧分散。大多数自旋带被完全或几乎完全占据,并在$Γ$点附近的费米能附近形成窄带,这可能是变磁性的电子起源。结果与最近的角分辨光电子能谱(ARPES)实验定性一致,并表明需要结合理论研究和实验ARPES调查更好的能量分辨率,以揭示接近费米能级的窄带的性质,这是理解在这种材料中观察到的奇异磁性的关键。
