半掺杂双层锰氧化物的自旋激发:中间相

Spin excitations of half-doped bilayer manganites: intermediate phase

Ivon R Buitrago, Cecilia I. Ventura, Luis O. Manuel

摘要:

半掺杂锰氧化物的基态涉及复杂的自旋、电荷和轨道有序,这在实验上是很难辨别的。在本工作中,我们借助于半掺杂双层Pr(Ca $_{0.9}$ Sr $_{0.1}$)$_2$ Mn $_2$ O $_7$的自旋涨落谱的理论分析,以了解其电子基态。利用线性自旋波近似,我们计算了一类局域自旋模型的磁振子色散,这些模型可以描述半掺杂锰氧化物基态的几个相,如Efremov等人提出的中间相[Nat.Mats. 3,853,(2004)]以及其对应于Goodenough的CE相[Phys.Rev.100,564,(1955)]和齐纳极化子或二聚体相的特定情况。当假定基态为广义Goodenough CE相时,我们得到了理论与实验之间的极好的一致性,Mn-电荷在实验预期的范围内。作为必要的成分,为我们改进的适合周围的差距测量的上,下磁振子分支,我们确定了两个下一个最近的邻居之间的交换相互作用的平面锰之字形链,每种类型的锰离子存在。与这一发现有关,我们重新审视了层状相关化合物的磁激发,重点是上磁振子分支。在这里,我们证明,他们的测量将提供明确识别的基态中存在的层状半掺杂锰氧化物的关键。

英文摘要:

The ground state of half-doped manganites involves intricate spin, charge and orbital orderings, which are difficult to discern experimentally. In this work, we resort to the theoretical analysis of the spin fluctuation spectrum of the half-doped bilayer Pr(Ca$_{0.9}$Sr$_{0.1}$)$_2$ Mn$_2$O$_7$ in order to get an insight of its electronic ground state. By means of the linear spin wave approximation, we compute the magnon dispersion for a family of localized spin models, which can describe several phases proposed for the ground state of half-doped manganites, like the intermediate one proposed by Efremov et al. [Nat.Mats. 3, 853, (2004)] along with its particular cases corresponding to Goodenough's CE phase [Phys. Rev. 100, 564, (1955)] and Zener polaron or dimer phases. We obtain an excellent agreement between theory and experiment when the ground state is assumed to be a generalized Goodenough's CE phase, with a Mn-charge disproportionation inside the experimentally expected range. As essential ingredients for our improved fit of the upper and lower magnon branches measured around the gap, we identified two next-nearest neighbour exchange interactions between the planar Mn zig-zag chains, one for each type of Mn ion present. In connection with this finding, we revisited the magnetic excitations of the laminar related compounds, focusing on the upper magnon branches. Here we prove that their measurement would provide the key to identify unambiguously the ground state present in the layered half-doped manganites.
