摘要:

本文报道了反铁磁自旋轨道诱导Mott绝缘体$_2$与$_4$的面内和面外热导率。我们的数据揭示了明确的证据,磁热输运内的IrO $_2$平面提供了独特的可能性,分析热占领和散射的$J_\mathrm{eff} = 1/2$赝自旋激发。磁热导率的分析产生低温($T \lesssim 75$ K)磁平均自由程$l_\mathrm{mag} \sim 32$ nm,与边界散射一致。当加热到室温时,由于赝自旋激发的热激活散射,平均自由程强烈地减小一个数量级。后者揭示了这些激发到晶格的耦合与铜酸盐类似物中的$S = 1/2$ -激发的耦合是根本不同的。

英文摘要:

We report the in-plane and out-of-plane heat conductivity of the antiferromagnetic spin-orbit induced Mott insulator Sr$_2$IrO$_4$ with $J_\mathrm{eff} = 1/2$. Our data reveal clear-cut evidence for magnetic heat transport within the IrO$_2$ planes which provides the unique possibility to analyze the thermal occupation and scattering of $J_\mathrm{eff} = 1/2$ pseudospin excitations. The analysis of the magnetic heat conductivity yields a low-temperature ($T \lesssim 75$ K) magnetic mean free path $l_\mathrm{mag} \sim 32$ nm, consistent with boundary scattering. Upon heating towards room temperature, the mean free path strongly decreases by one order of magnitude due to thermally activated scattering of the pseudospin excitations. The latter reveals that the coupling of these excitations to the lattice is radically different from that of $S = 1/2$-excitations in cuprate analogs.
