La_{1-x} Sr_xMnO_3锰氧化物磁化强度的铁电控制:第一性原理研究

Ferroelectric control of magnetization in La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO3 manganites: A first-principle study

Hanghui Chen, Sohrab Ismail-Beigi

摘要:

利用第一性原理研究了钙钛矿型铁电体(PbTiO 3)与磁性锰氧化物La_{1-x} Sr_xMnO 3之间的界面。我们表明,通过切换铁电极化,额外的载流子积累或耗尽在锰氧化物的界面区域,这种载流子密度的变化可以修改界面Mn的磁自旋配置,这与实验观察到的极大的磁化强度变化是一致的。我们还描述了一个意想不到的纯界面现象,即铁电极化的界面区域的变化的磁能量-自由度不存在于散装锰氧化物。理论上,我们证明了在广泛使用的DFT+U类交换关联泛函中,Hubbard $U$参数的精确选择对基态磁结构的敏感性.我们提供了一个简单的伊辛模型,解释了与U的磁结构的演变与各种不同的方式,其中一个可能会尝试选择一个适当的U参数的讨论。

英文摘要:

We present a first-principles study on the interface between perovskite ferroelectrics (PbTiO3) and conducting magnetic manganites La_{1-x}Sr_xMnO3. We show that by switching the ferroelectric polarization, additional carriers are accumulated or depleted at the interfacial region of the manganite and that this change in carrier density can modify the magnetic spin configuration of the interfacial Mn, which is consistent with the experimentally observed anomalously large change in the magnetization. We also describe an unexpected purely interfacial phenomenon whereby the ferroelectric polarization of the interfacial region changes the magnetic energetics --- a degree of freedom not present in bulk manganites. Theoretically, we show the the ground-state magnetic structure depends sensitively on the precise choice of Hubbard $U$ parameter within the widely-used DFT+U class of exchange correlation functionals. We provide a simple Ising-like model that explains the evolution of the magnetic structure with U in tandem with a discussion of various different ways in which one might try to choose an appropriate U parameter.
