高压下过渡金属氧化物的磁塌缩和行为

Magnetic Collapse and the Behavior of Transition Metal Oxides at High Pressure

I. Leonov, L. Pourovskii, A. Georges, I. A. Abrikosov

摘要:

本文采用关联电子动力学平均场论结合\emph{ab initio}能带结构方法(DFT+DMFT)对过渡金属氧化物MnO、FeO、CoO和NiO的顺磁立方B1结构的电子结构和相稳定性进行了详细的理论研究.我们的计算表明,在压力下,这些材料表现出莫特绝缘体-金属转变(IMT),这是伴随着同时崩溃的局部磁矩和晶格体积,这意味着化学键和电子关联之间的复杂的相互作用。此外,我们的研究结果的转变压力显示单调下降,从~ 145 GPa到40 GPa,从MnO移动到CoO。与此相反,在NiO中,磁崩溃被发现发生在显着更高的压力~ 429 GPa。我们提供了一个统一的图片,这样的行为,并建议它是主要的本地化的巡回时刻的行为过渡在IMT,引起过渡金属氧化物的磁崩溃。

英文摘要:

We report a detail theoretical study of the electronic structure and phase stability of transition metal oxides MnO, FeO, CoO, and NiO in their paramagnetic cubic B1 structure by employing dynamical mean-field theory of correlated electrons combined with \emph{ab initio} band structure methods (DFT+DMFT). Our calculations reveal that under pressure these materials exhibit a Mott insulator-metal transition (IMT) which is accompanied by a simultaneous collapse of local magnetic moments and lattice volume, implying a complex interplay between chemical bonding and electronic correlations. Moreover, our results for the transition pressure show a monotonous decrease from ~ 145 GPa to 40 GPa, upon moving from MnO to CoO. In contrast to that, in NiO, magnetic collapse is found to occur at remarkably higher pressure of ~ 429 GPa. We provide a unified picture of such a behavior and suggest that it is primary a localized to itinerant moment behavior transition at the IMT that gives rise to magnetic collapse in transition metal oxides.
