摘要:

Bi $_3$ Mn $_4$ O $_{12}$(NO $_3$)(BMNO)是蜂窝状双层反铁磁体,尽管具有相对大的居里-外斯温度,但在非常低的温度下不显示任何有序。利用从头算密度泛函理论,我们得到了该化合物的有效自旋哈密顿量。所提出的自旋哈密顿量由反亚铁磁海森堡项组成,其耦合常数范围可达第三层内和第四层间邻居。通过Monte Carlo模拟,得到了磁化率和居里-外斯温度随温度的变化关系,并找到了与实验值最吻合的耦合常数。我们发现,取决于层间交换耦合的强度,两个共线自旋组态相互竞争,在这个系统中。两种态都具有面内N{é}el特征,但在层间耦合较小时,两层的自旋方向是反平行的(N $_1$态),在一阶跃迁点通过增大层间耦合不连续地转变为平行的(N $_2$态).经典的Monte Carlo模拟和密度矩阵重整化群计算证实,对于BMNO获得的交换耦合是以这样的方式将该材料置于{一阶相变的相边界},其中这两个共线自旋状态之间的交易防止其设置在磁有序状态中。

英文摘要:

Bi$_3$Mn$_4$O$_{12}$(NO$_3$) (BMNO) is a honeycomb bilayers anti-ferromagnet, not showing any ordering down to very low temperatures despite having a relatively large Curie-Weiss temperature. Using ab initio density functional theory, we extract an effective spin Hamiltonian for this compound. The proposed spin Hamiltonian consists of anti-ferrimagnetic Heisenberg terms with coupling constants ranging up to third intra-layer and fourth inter-layer neighbors. Performing Monte Carlo simulation, we obtain the temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility and so the Curie-Weiss temperature and find the coupling constants which best matches with the experimental value. We discover that depending on the strength of the interlayer exchange couplings, two collinear spin configurations compete with each other in this system. Both states have in plane N{é}el character, however, at small interlayer coupling spin directions in the two layers are antiparallel (N$_1$ state) and discontinuously transform to parallel (N$_2$ state) by enlarging the interlayer couplings at a first order transition point. Classical Monte Carlo simulation and density matrix renormalization group calculations confirm that exchange couplings obtained for BMNO are in such a way that put this material {at the phase boundary of a first order phase transition}, where the trading between these two collinear spin states prevents it from setting in a magnetically ordered state.
