摘要:

具有中间尺寸过渡金属如Fe或Mn的化合物接近于电荷转移系统和Mott-Hubbard系统之间的过渡。本文用椭圆偏振光谱法结合透射率测量研究了LaSrFeO_4绝缘层在0.5 - 5.5eV能量范围内的光学电导率σ(ω),温度为15 - 250 K。在σ^a(ω)和σ^c(ω)中都观察到多峰结构。层状结构产生了明显的各向异性,从而提供了一种手段来解开莫特-哈伯德和电荷转移吸收带。我们发现LaSrFeO_4的最低偶极允许激发是Mott-Hubbard型的。这一出乎意料的结果可归因于Fe 3d-O 2 p杂化,特别是与e_g能级分裂相关的层状结构。通常,Mott-Hubbard吸收带可能显示出对温度的强烈依赖性。LaSrFeO_4的情况并非如此,这与以下事实相一致:在这种具有高自旋3d^5构型和T_N = 366 K的Neel温度的化合物中,最近邻之间的自旋-自旋和轨道-轨道相关在室温以下不会发生强烈变化。

英文摘要:

Compounds with intermediate-size transition metals such as Fe or Mn are close to the transition between charge-transfer systems and Mott-Hubbard systems. We study the optical conductivity σ(ω) of insulating layered LaSrFeO_4 in the energy range 0.5 - 5.5 eV from 15 K to 250 K by the use of spectroscopic ellipsometry in combination with transmittance measurements. A multipeak structure is observed in both σ^a(ω) and σ^c(ω). The layered structure gives rise to a pronounced anisotropy, thereby offering a means to disentangle Mott-Hubbard and charge-transfer absorption bands. We find strong evidence that the lowest dipole-allowed excitation in LaSrFeO_4 is of Mott-Hubbard type. This rather unexpected result can be attributed to Fe 3d - O 2p hybridization and in particular to the layered structure with the associated splitting of the e_g level. In general, Mott-Hubbard absorption bands may show a strong dependence on temperature. This is not the case in LaSrFeO_4, in agreement with the fact that spin-spin and orbital-orbital correlations between nearest neighbors do not vary strongly below room temperature in this compound with a high-spin 3d^5 configuration and a Neel temperature of T_N = 366 K.
