摘要:

钙钛矿型LaCoO $_3$中Co $^{3+}$离子的自旋态受电子-晶格相互作用和强电子关联的复杂影响,由于缺乏直接检测的实验技术,至今仍存在争议。在这封信中,我们揭示了拉伸应变依赖的自旋态,$i. e.$的高,低自旋态的比例,在外延薄膜和块状晶体的LaCoO $_3$通过共振非弹性软X射线散射。当拉伸应变小于1.0%时,可以实现与体相不同的自旋态。

英文摘要:

The spin states of Co$^{3+}$ ions in perovskite-type LaCoO$_3$, governed by complex interplay between the electron-lattice interactions and the strong electron correlations, still remain controversial due to the lack of experimental techniques which can detect directly. In this letter, we revealed the tensile-strain dependence of spin states, $i. e.$ the ratio of the high- and low-spin states, in epitaxial thin films and a bulk crystal of LaCoO$_3$ via resonant inelastic soft x-ray scattering. The tensile-strain as small as 1.0% was found to realize different spin states from that in the bulk.
