摘要:

本文报道用非弹性中子散射技术测量了K_(0.8)Fe_(1.6)Se_2的声子态密度随温度的变化。当冷却到150 K时,观察到一个声子峰在25 meV附近分裂,并在31 meV处出现一个新峰。这些测量结果支持了最近的拉曼和红外测量结果,表明当冷却到250 K以下时,K_(0.8)Fe_(1.6)Se_2的对称性降低。对K0.8Fe1.6Se2和KFe 2Se 2进行了从头算声子计算。从磁性以及非磁性计算得到的声子谱的比较显示出显着的差异。我们表明,在这两个计算的能量范围内的振动贡献的Fe和Se是完全不同的。我们的结论是,铁磁性相关的声子动力学,它起着重要的作用,在稳定的结构K0.8Fe1.6Se2以及KFe 2Se 2。的计算突出了低能量librational模式在K0.8Fe1.6Se2相比,KFe 2Se 2的存在。

英文摘要:

We report measurements of the temperature dependence of phonon densities of states in K0.8Fe1.6Se2 using inelastic neutron scattering technique. While cooling down to 150 K, a phonon peak splitting around 25 meV is observed and a new peak appears at 31 meV. The measurements support the recent Raman and infra-red measurements indicating a lowering of symmetry of K0.8Fe1.6Se2 upon cooling below 250 K. Ab-initio phonon calculations have been carried out for K0.8Fe1.6Se2 and KFe2Se2. The comparison of the phonon spectra as obtained from the magnetic as well as non magnetic calculations show pronounced differences. We show that in the two calculations the energy range of the vibrational contribution from both Fe and Se are quite different. We conclude that Fe magnetism is correlated to the phonon dynamics and it plays an important role in stabilizing the structure of K0.8Fe1.6Se2 as well as that of KFe2Se2. The calculations highlight the presence of low energy librational modes in K0.8Fe1.6Se2 as compared to KFe2Se2.
