电场对表面掺杂FeSe电子关联增强的作用

Role of electric fields on enhanced electron correlation in surface-doped FeSe

Young Woo Choi, Hyoung Joon Choi

摘要:

据报道,电子掺杂的高Tc FeSe具有随着掺杂而增强的强电子相关性。人们注意到,随着电子转移,FeSe和外给体之间不可避免地存在显着的电场。然而,这些领域对电子关联的影响还有待探讨。本文采用密度泛函理论结合动力学平均场论研究了钾离子掺杂的FeSe薄膜中的电子关联强度与电场的关系。我们发现,非常有趣的是,电子之间的势能差的最上层的硒和铁原子层,电离的K原子的局部电场产生的,削弱硒介导的Fe d轨道之间的跳跃。由于它是FeSe中占主导地位的跳跃通道,它的减少缩小了费米能级附近的Fe d带,增强了电子相关性。这种效应是轨道相关的,只发生在最上面的FeSe层。我们还发现,K的剂量可能会增加硒的高度,进一步增强电子相关。这些结果为高Tc FeSe和其他低维体系的综合研究提供了新的思路。

英文摘要:

Electron-doped high-Tc FeSe reportedly has a strong electron correlation that is enhanced with doping. It has been noticed that significant electric fields exist inevitably between FeSe and external donors along with electron transfer. However, the effects of such fields on electron correlation are yet to be explored. Here we study potassium- (K-) dosed FeSe layers using density-functional theory combined with dynamical mean-field theory to investigate the roles of such electric fields on the strength of the electron correlation. We find, very interestingly, the electronic potential-energy difference between the topmost Se and Fe atomic layers, generated by local electric fields of ionized K atoms, weakens the Se-mediated hopping between Fe d orbitals. Since it is the dominant hopping channel in FeSe, its reduction narrows the Fe d bands near the Fermi level, enhancing the electron correlation. This effect is orbital dependent and occurs in the topmost FeSe layer only. We also find the K dosing may increase the Se height, enhancing the electron correlation further. These results shed new light on the comprehensive study of high-Tc FeSe and other low-dimensional systems.
