摘要:

在Sr 2 IrO 4中的色散磁激发先前已经在正方形晶格上的同位旋1/2海森堡模型中得到了很好的描述,该模型与La 2CuO 4平行。在这里,我们调查的非弹性光谱Sr2Ir0.8Ru0.2O4与共振非弹性X射线散射(RIXS)在Ir的L3-边缘。结果很好地描述了使用类似的海森堡模型内的线性自旋波理论适用于Sr 2 IrO 4,然而,由20%Ir4+离子取代Ru 4+引起的无序去除较长范围的交换相互作用。一个大的自旋间隙(40毫电子伏)的测量表明强各向异性的自旋轨道耦合,这是由于在Sr2Ir0.8Ru0.2O4与c轴对齐的时刻相比,在父基平面的时刻改变的磁结构的体现。总的来说,结果表明海森堡模型描述的鲁棒性,即使当磁结构被改变和J=1/2的时刻稀释。

英文摘要:

The dispersive magnetic excitations in Sr2IrO4 have previously been well described within an isospin-1/2 Heisenberg model on a square lattice that revealed parallels with La2CuO4. Here we investigate the inelastic spectra of Sr2Ir0.8Ru0.2O4 with resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the Ir L3-edge. The results are well described using linear spin-wave theory within a similar Heisenberg model applicable to Sr2IrO4, however the disorder induced by the substitution of 20% Ir4+ ions for Ru4+ removes longer range exchange interactions. A large spin-gap (40 meV) is measured indicating strong anisotropy from spin-orbit coupling that is manifest due to the altered magnetic structure in Sr2Ir0.8Ru0.2O4 with c-axis aligned moments compared to the basal plane moments in the parent. Collectively the results indicate the robustness of a Heisenberg model description even when the magnetic structure is altered and the J=1/2 moments diluted.
