摘要:

直接测量掺杂剂$3d$金属中的元素电子激发对于理解它们如何作为其主体材料的一部分起作用是必不可少的。通过计算的晶体场分裂的$3d$电子带,它示出了过渡金属Mn,Fe,Co和Ni是如何纳入到SnO $_2$。晶体场分裂的共振非弹性X射线散射(RIXS)实验,精确测量这些基本的$dd$激发。光谱特征的起源可以通过这种比较来确定和识别,从而增加对这些掺杂剂金属如何自我掺杂并修改主体的电子和磁性的理解;以及当掺入其他半导体材料时,每种元素如何不同。我们发现,氧空位的形成不能发生在最近的相邻网站的金属原子,而是必须驻留在至少两个配位球以外。主体内的掺杂剂的配位然后可以明确地与$d$ -电子构型和能量相关。这种方法有助于理解本地晶体配位和电子/磁性之间的重要联系。

英文摘要:

Directly measuring elementary electronic excitations in dopant $3d$ metals is essential to understanding how they function as part of their host material. Through calculated crystal field splittings of the $3d$ electron band it is shown how transition metals Mn, Fe, Co, and Ni are incorporated into SnO$_2$. The crystal field splittings are compared to resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) experiments, which measure precisely these elementary $dd$ excitations. The origin of spectral features can be determined and identified via this comparison, leading to an increased understanding of how such dopant metals situate themselves in, and modify the host's electronic and magnetic properties; and also how each element differs when incorporated into other semiconducting materials. We found that oxygen vacancy formation must not occur at nearest neighbour sites to metal atoms, but instead must reside at least two coordination spheres beyond. The coordination of the dopants within the host can then be explicitly related to the $d$-electron configurations and energies. This approach facilitates an understanding of the essential link between local crystal coordination and electronic/magnetic properties.
