摘要:

利用同步辐射的核非弹性散射(NIS)研究了Pt(111)衬底上1 ~ 16个单层(ML)厚的FeO(111)薄膜的结构和磁性。声子态密度(PDOS)中揭示的振动特性随厚度的明显演化见证了从2D到3D晶格动力学的教科书式转变。对于1和2 ML的最薄的膜,PDOS的低能量部分遵循能量的线性依赖性,这是2维系统的特征。这种依赖关系随着厚度的增加逐渐转变为体积~ E-平方关系。密度泛函理论声子计算完美地再现了在赝晶FeO/Pt(111)界面的简单模型内测量的1 ML PDOS。计算结果表明,二维PDOS特性是由于FeO薄膜与Pt(111)衬底的弱耦合。随着厚度的增加,振动性质的演变与瞬态长程磁序和不寻常的结构相的稳定密切相关。

英文摘要:

The structural and magnetic properties of ultrathin FeO(111) films on Pt(111) with thicknesses from 1 to 16 monolayers (ML) were studied using the nuclear inelastic scattering (NIS) of synchrotron radiation. Distinct evolution of vibrational characteristics with thickness that is revealed in the phonon density of states (PDOS) witnesses a textbook transition from 2D to 3D lattice dynamics. For the thinnest films of 1 and 2 ML, the low energy part of the PDOS followed a linear dependence in energy that is characteristic for 2-dimensional systems. This dependence gradually transforms with thickness to the bulk ~E-square relation. Density functional theory phonon calculations perfectly reproduced the measured 1 ML PDOS within a simple model of a pseudomorphic FeO/Pt(111) interface. The calculations show that the 2D PDOS character is due to a weak coupling of the FeO film to the Pt(111) substrate. The evolution of the vibrational properties with an increasing thickness is closely related to a transient long range magnetic order and stabilization of an unusual structural phase.
