电荷转移氧化物中轨道极化的八面体工程

Octahedral Engineering of Orbital Polarizations in Charge Transfer Oxides

Antonio Cammarata, James M. Rondinelli

摘要:

负电荷转移$AB$ O $_3$氧化物可以经历电子金属-绝缘体转变(MIT),伴随着几乎刚性八面体的膨胀和收缩。MIT的两侧是相邻八面体的同相或异相(或两者)旋转,使$B$ -O-- $B$键角偏离180 $^\circ$。使用密度泛函理论与PBESol $+U$的方法,我们描述了一种新的八面体工程途径来控制$B$ 3D和O $2p$轨道极化通过增强的$B$ O $_6$旋转“感”,而不是仅仅通过传统的改变$B$ -O键长,\emph{i.e.}晶场扭曲。使用CaFeO $_3$作为一个原型材料,我们显示的味道的八面体旋转模式时,结合应变-旋转耦合和薄膜工程策略提供了一个很有前途的途径,微调轨道极化附近的电子相界。

英文摘要:

Negative charge transfer $AB$O$_3$ oxides may undergo electronic metal--insulator transitions (MIT) concomitant with a dilation and contraction of nearly rigid octahedra. On both sides of the MIT are in-phase or out-of-phase (or both) rotations of adjacent octahedra that buckle the $B$--O--$B$ bond angle away from 180$^\circ$. Using density functional theory with the PBEsol$+U$ approach, we describe a novel octahedral engineering avenue to control the $B$ 3d and O $2p$ orbital polarization through enhancement of the $B$O$_6$ rotation "sense" rather than solely through conventional changes to the $B$--O bond lengths, \emph{i.e.} crystal field distortions. Using CaFeO$_3$ as a prototypical material, we show the flavor of the octahedral rotation pattern when combined with strain--rotation coupling and thin film engineering strategies offers a promising avenue to fine tune orbital polarizations near electronic phase boundaries.
