电子掺杂EuO居里温度提高的理论

Theory of Curie temperature enhancement in electron-doped EuO

Tobias Stollenwerk, Johann Kroha

摘要:

我们提出了一个比较,理论研究的掺杂依赖性的临界温度$T_C$的铁磁绝缘体-金属的转变,在Gd掺杂和O-缺乏EuO,分别。Eu $_{1-x}$ Gd $_x$ O中的强$T_C$增强是由于Gd位上的Kondo样自旋涨落,这在Eu O $_{1-x}$中是不存在的。此外,我们发现,在Eu $_{1-x}$ Gd $_x$ O的$T_C$饱和大$x$是由于到导带的掺杂剂电子的激活减少,与实验一致,而不是反铁磁的RKKY相互作用的长程贡献。结果揭示了进一步增加$T_C$的可能性。

英文摘要:

We present a comparative, theoretical study of the doping dependence of the critical temperature $T_C$ of the ferromagnetic insulator-metal transition in Gd-doped and O-deficient EuO, respectively. The strong $T_C$ enhancement in Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_x$O is due to Kondo-like spin fluctuations on the Gd sites, which are absent in EuO$_{1-x}$. Moreover, we find that the $T_C$ saturation in Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_x$O for large $x$ is due to a reduced activation of dopant electrons into the conduction band, in agreement with experiments, rather than antiferromagnetic long-range contributions of the RKKY interaction. The results shed light on possibilities for further increasing $T_C$.
