经典自旋冰是如何量子化的?

How quantum are classical spin ices?

Jeffrey G. Rau, Michel J. P. Gingras

摘要:

烧绿石自旋冰化合物Dy_2Ti_2O_7和Ho_2Ti_2O_7在很低的温度下都能用经典的伊辛模型很好地描述。鉴于这种描述在经验上的成功,量子效应在这些材料中的重要性问题大多被忽视了。我们表明,共同的智慧,严格的伊辛时刻Dy3+和Ho3+意味着严格的伊辛相互作用是太天真了,需要一个更复杂的参数来解释理论和实验之间的密切协议。从稀土氧化物中相互作用的微观图像,我们表明,高阶多极相互作用所需的诱导量子效应产生的超交换只有非常微弱。使用这个框架,我们制定了一个估计的量子效应的规模Ho2Ti2O7和Dy2Ti2O7,发现它远低于实验相关的温度。我们讨论了这些结果的影响,实现量子自旋冰在其他材料。

英文摘要:

The pyrochlore spin ice compounds Dy2Ti2O7 and Ho2Ti2O7 are well described by classical Ising models down to very low temperatures. Given the empirical success of this description, the question of the importance of quantum effects in these materials has been mostly ignored. We show that the common wisdom that the strictly Ising moments of Dy3+ and Ho3+ imply strictly Ising interactions is too naive; a more complex argument is needed to explain the close agreement between theory and experiment. From a microscopic picture of the interactions in rare-earth oxides, we show that the high-rank multipolar interactions needed to induce quantum effects are generated only very weakly by super-exchange. Using this framework, we formulate an estimate of the scale of quantum effects in Ho2Ti2O7 and Dy2Ti2O7, finding it to be well below experimentally relevant temperatures. We discuss the implications of these results for realizing quantum spin ice in other materials.
