摘要:

我们提出了一个μ子自旋弛豫研究的莫特转变BaCoS_2使用两个独立的控制参数:(i)压力p来调整的电子带宽和(ii)Ni取代x上的Co网站来调整带填充。对于这两个调谐参数,反铁磁绝缘状态首先过渡到反铁磁金属,最后到顺磁金属,而不经历任何结构相变。BaCoS_2在压力下的有序磁矩S_ord变化很小,直到在p_cr ~ 1.3 GPa时突然塌缩,进入反铁磁金属态。相反,在Ni掺杂系统Ba(Co_{1-x} Ni_{x})S_{2}中,S_ord随着x的增加而稳定地减小,直到在x_cr ~ 0.22处达到反铁磁金属区域。在这两种情况下,当接近p_cr或x_cr时,磁性区和非磁性区之间出现明显的相分离,反铁磁金属态的特征是在小体积分数下具有弱的、随机的、静态的磁性。没有动力学临界行为附近的过渡观察到任何调谐参数。这些结果表明,在零温度下的带宽和填充控制的金属-绝缘体转变的量子演化作为一级跃迁进行。这一现象与RENiO_3和V_2O_3的磁Mott转变相同,它们都伴随着结构转变而不形成反铁磁金属相。

英文摘要:

We present a muon spin relaxation study of the Mott transition in BaCoS_2 using two independent control parameters: (i) pressure p to tune the electronic bandwidth and (ii) Ni-substitution x on the Co site to tune the band filling. For both tuning parameters, the antiferromagnetic insulating state first transitions to an antiferromagnetic metal and finally to a paramagnetic metal without undergoing any structural phase transition. BaCoS_2 under pressure displays minimal change in the ordered magnetic moment S_ord until it collapses abruptly upon entering the antiferromagnetic metallic state at p_cr ~ 1.3 GPa. In contrast, S_ord in the Ni-doped system Ba(Co_{1-x}Ni_{x})S_{2} steadily decreases with increasing x until the antiferromagnetic metallic region is reached at x_cr ~ 0.22. In both cases, significant phase separation between magnetic and nonmagnetic regions develops when approaching p_cr or x_cr, and the antiferromagnetic metallic state is characterized by weak, random, static magnetism in a small volume fraction. No dynamical critical behavior is observed near the transition for either tuning parameter. These results demonstrate that the quantum evolution of both the bandwidth- and filling-controlled metal-insulator transition at zero temperature proceeds as a first-order transition. This behavior is common to magnetic Mott transitions in RENiO_3 and V_2O_3, which are accompanied by structural transitions without the formation of an antiferromagnetic metal phase.
