钒钙钛矿的$d-p$模型和自旋轨道有序

$d-p$ model and spin-orbital order in the vanadium perovskites

Krzysztof Rościszewski, Andrzej M. Oleś

摘要:

采用多带$d-p$模型和非限制Hartree-Fock近似,研究了三维VO $_3$晶格的电子结构和自旋轨道有序。本研究的主要目的是测试简单的$d-p$模型,部分填充$3d$轨道(在钒离子)和$2p$轨道(在氧离子),是否能够正确地再现在钒钙钛矿中观察到的非平凡共存的自旋轨道顺序。指出多带$d-p$模型必须包含钒离子的部分填充$e_g$轨道。结果表明,弱自掺杂作为一个重要的修正超出了离子模型和再现可能的基态与破坏的自旋轨道对称性的钒离子:无论是$C$型交替轨道顺序伴随着$G$型反铁磁自旋顺序,或$G$型交替轨道顺序伴随着$C$型反铁磁自旋顺序。在实验中观察到这两种状态,并在YVO $_3$中相互竞争,而在LaVO $_3$中只观察到后者。轨道秩序是由扬-泰勒效应引起的氧扭曲的特殊模式引起和稳定的。与耗时的\textit{ab-initio}计算相比,使用$d-p$模型的计算非常快,并且应该被视为在固态物理中非常有用的,只要仔细选择参数。

英文摘要:

Using the multi-band $d-p$ model and unrestricted Hartree-Fock approximation we investigate the electronic structure and spin-orbital order in three-dimensional VO$_3$ lattice. The main aim of this investigation is testing if simple $d-p$ model, with partly filled $3d$ orbitals (at vanadium ions) and $2p$ orbitals (at oxygen ions), is capable of reproducing correctly nontrivial coexisting spin-orbital order observed in the vanadium perovskites. We point out that the multi-band $d-p$ model has to include partly filled $e_g$ orbitals at vanadium ions. The results suggest weak self-doping as an important correction beyond the ionic model and reproduce the possible ground states with broken spin-orbital symmetry on vanadium ions: either $C$-type alternating orbital order accompanied by $G$-type antiferromagnetic spin order, or $G$-type alternating orbital order accompanied by $C$-type antiferromagnetic spin order. Both states are experimentally observed and compete with each other in YVO$_3$ while only the latter was observed in LaVO$_3$. Orbital order is induced and stabilized by particular patterns of oxygen distortions arising from the Jahn-Teller effect. In contrast to time-consuming \textit{ab-initio} calculations, the computations using $d-p$ model are very quick and should be regarded as very useful in solid state physics, provided the parameters are selected carefully.
