摘要:

我们在室温下对$α$ -RuCl $_3$进行了拉曼光谱研究,以探讨其在压力下的磁性和化学键的相变。Raman测量分辨出两个临界压力,约为$p_1=1.1$ ~GPa和$p_2=1.7$ ~GPa,涉及结构激发和磁激发之间非常不同的缠绕行为。随着压力的增加,在$p_1=1.1$ ~GPa范围内,$α$ -RuCl $_3$层发生了堆垛阶相变,表现为新的Raman声子模和适度的Raman磁化率调整. Ru面内拉曼模的异常软化和分裂为$p_2=1.7$ ~GPa下Ru-Ru键的面内二聚提供了直接证据。拉曼极化率随压力的增加而显著增强,二聚化后拉曼极化率急剧下降。我们认为该体系在$p_2=1.7$ ~GPa下发生Mott塌缩,转变为二聚关联带绝缘体.我们的研究表明Kitaev物理,磁性和化学键Kitaev化合物之间的竞争。

英文摘要:

We perform Raman spectroscopy studies on $α$-RuCl$_3$ at room temperature to explore its phase transitions of magnetism and chemical bonding under pressures. The Raman measurements resolve two critical pressures, about $p_1=1.1$~GPa and $p_2=1.7$~GPa, involving very different intertwining behaviors between the structural and magnetic excitations. With increasing pressures, a stacking order phase transition of $α$-RuCl$_3$ layers develops at $p_1=1.1$~GPa, indicated by the new Raman phonon modes and the modest Raman magnetic susceptibility adjustment. The abnormal softening and splitting of the Ru in-plane Raman mode provide direct evidence of the in-plane dimerization of the Ru-Ru bonds at $p_2=1.7$~GPa. The Raman susceptibility is greatly enhanced with pressure increasing and sharply suppressed after the dimerization. We propose that the system undergoes Mott collapse at $p_2=1.7$~GPa and turns into a dimerized correlated band insulator. Our studies demonstrate competitions between Kitaev physics, magnetism, and chemical bondings in Kitaev compounds.
