摘要:

蜂窝状Mott绝缘体$α$ $_3$由于压力而失去其低温磁序。我们报告了明确的证据,在$P>1$ GPa的二聚结构,并观察到相对论$j_{\rm eff}$图片在这个制度的击穿强烈影响电子性质。在这种对称性破缺状态下,不可能出现压力诱导的Kitaev量子自旋液体。我们揭示了新的阶段,通过宽带红外光谱的低温性能的$α$ -RuCl $_{3}$和从头计算密度泛函理论计算,无论是在静水压力下。

英文摘要:

The honeycomb Mott insulator $α$-RuCl$_3$ loses its low-temperature magnetic order by pressure. We report clear evidence for a dimerized structure at $P>1$ GPa and observe the breakdown of the relativistic $j_{\rm eff}$ picture in this regime strongly affecting the electronic properties. A pressure-induced Kitaev quantum spin liquid cannot occur in this broken symmetry state. We shed light on the new phase by broad-band infrared spectroscopy of the low-temperature properties of $α$-RuCl$_{3}$ and ab initio density functional theory calculations, both under hydrostatic pressure.
