CsMn$_4$As$_3$: A layered tetragonal transition-metal pnictide compound with antiferromagnetic ground state

摘要:

本文报道了一种新的层状四元化合物CsMn $_4$ As $_3$(结构:KCu $_4$ S $_3$ -型,空间群:$P4/mmm$,No.123和$Z = 2$)的合成和性质.该材料是一种小带隙半导体,并表现出与Mn自旋相关的反铁磁基态。该化合物在150(5)K处表现出明显的磁矩倾斜事件,倾斜角为$\approx 0.3^{\circ}$。虽然,这种新化合物的磁特性的一些特征在性质上类似于相关的BaMn $_2$作为$_2$,但这两种材料的基本Mn亚晶格是完全不同的。虽然BaMn $_2$作为$_2$中的Mn正方晶格层沿着$c$方向以层间距离$d_{\rm L\,Ba} = 6.7341(4)$ Ang等间距分布,Mn亚晶格在CsMn $_4$ As $_3$中形成双层,其中层间距离在双层$d_{\rm L\,Cs} = 3.1661(6)$ Ang内。和两个相邻双层之间的距离$d_{\rm B} = 7.290(6)$ Ang.与BaMn $_2$ As $_2$和其他相关的122种化合物(包括众所周知的铁砷化物超导体母体化合物BaFe $_2$ As $_2$)相比,Mn亚晶格中的这种差异必然会显着改变J1-J2-Jc模型中$J_{1}$、$J_{2}$和$J_{c}$交换相互作用之间的能量平衡。由于其过渡金属亚晶格的新颖性,这种与铁基超导体相关的四方晶系材料家族的新成员为寻找新的超导相以及其他激发相关电子性质的掺杂和压力研究带来了前景。

英文摘要:

We report the synthesis and properties of a new layered tetragonal ternary compound CsMn$_4$As$_3$ (structure: KCu$_4$S$_3$-type, space group: $P4/mmm$, No. 123 and $Z = 2$). The material is a small band-gap semiconductor and exhibits an antiferromagnetic ground state associated with Mn spins. The compound exhibits a signature of a distinct magnetic moment canting event at 150(5)~K with a canting angle of $\approx 0.3^{\circ}$. Although, some features of the magnetic characteristics of this new compound are qualitatively similar to those of the related BaMn$_2$As$_2$, the underlying Mn sublattices of the two materials are quite different. While the Mn square-lattice layers in BaMn$_2$As$_2$ are equally spaced along the $c$-direction with the interlayer distance $d_{\rm L\,Ba} = 6.7341(4)$ Ang., the Mn sublattice forms bilayers in CsMn$_4$As$_3$ with the interlayer distance within a bilayer $d_{\rm L\,Cs} = 3.1661(6)$ Ang. and the distance between the two adjacent bilayers $d_{\rm B} = 7.290(6)$ Ang. This difference in the Mn sublattice is bound to significantly alter the energy balance between the $J_{1}$, $J_{2}$ and $J_{c}$ exchange interactions within the J1-J2-Jc model compared to that in BaMn$_2$As$_2$ and the other related 122 compounds including the well-known iron-arsenide superconductor parent compound BaFe$_2$As$_2$. Owing to the novelty of its transition metal sublattice, this new addition to the family of tetragonal materials related to the iron-based superconductors brings prospects for doping and pressure studies in the search of new superconducting phases as well as other exciting correlated-electron properties.
