摘要:

基于实验和第一性原理密度泛函理论计算研究了单斜双钙钛矿结构SrPDMATHABMM CeIrO $_6$的电子和磁性.计算结果表明,低自旋态的$^{4+}$(5 $\textit{d}^5$,S= $\frac{1}{2}$)具有反铁型轨道有序结构,表明$\textit{d}_{yz}$和$\textit{d}_{xz}$轨道在两个对称独立的Ir位上交替占据.实验确定的Jahn-Teller型畸变单斜结构与提出的轨道有序图像是一致的。令人惊讶的是,发现Ir-5 $\textit{d}$轨道磁矩比自旋磁矩大$\approx$ 1.3倍。实验观察到的AFM绝缘态与计算结果是一致的。电子-电子关联和自旋轨道耦合(SOC)都需要驱动实验观察到的AFM绝缘基态。这种单活性位点双钙钛矿提供了一种罕见的平台,其具有原型几何受抑的fcc晶格,其中在不同的自由度(即自旋、轨道和晶格)之间,自旋-轨道相互作用和库仑相关能量尺度相互竞争和相互作用。

英文摘要:

The electronic and magnetic properties of monoclinic double perovskite Sr$_2$CeIrO$_6$ were examined based on both experiments and first-principles density functional theory calculations. From the calculations we conclude that low-spin-state Ir$^{4+}$ (5$\textit{d}^5$, S=$\frac{1}{2}$) shows t$_{2g}$ band derived anti-ferro type orbital ordering implying alternating occupations of $\textit{d}_{yz}$ and $\textit{d}_{xz}$ orbitals at the two symmetrically independent Ir sites. The experimentally determined Jahn-Teller type distorted monoclinic structure is consistent with the proposed orbital ordering picture. Surprisingly, the Ir-5$\textit{d}$ orbital magnetic moment was found to be $\approx$ 1.3 times larger than the spin magnetic moment. The experimentally observed AFM-insulating states are consistent with the calculations. Both electron-electron correlation and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) are required to drive the experimentally observed AFM-insulating ground state. This single active site double perovskite provides a rare platform with a prototype geometrically frustrated fcc lattice where among the different degrees of freedom (i.e spin, orbital, and lattice), spin-orbit interaction and Coulomb correlation energy scales compete and interact with each other.
