摘要:

采用密度泛函LDA+U方法和线性响应理论,研究了超导体Nd{1-x}Sr{x} NiO 2的磁交换相互作用.我们计算的最近邻交换常数J1=82毫电子伏是大的,弱掺杂的影响,仅略小于发现在姐妹化合物CaCuO 2。然而,我们发现,空穴掺杂显着增强层间交换耦合,因为它影响的磁矩的Ni-3d{3 z2-r2}轨道。这可以根据Ni-3d{3 z2-r2}在NiO 2平面内的小杂化以及其沿z方向的大重叠来理解,所述小杂化导致费米能级附近的平坦带。我们还证明了出现在费米能级的Nd-5d态不影响磁交换相互作用,因此可能不参与该化合物的超导电性。鉴于许多以前的工作强调的重要性,Ni-3d{x2-y2}和Nd-5d轨道,而不是分析的解决方案,Ni-3d{x2-y2}/Ni-3d{3 z2-r2}极小模型使用动力学平均场论。它揭示了一个潜在的莫特绝缘状态,这取决于精确值的原子内的洪德耦合小于或大于0.83 eV,选择掺杂后S=0或S=1的两个空穴状态在低能量导致非常不同的准粒子能带结构。我们建议掺杂后自旋激发谱和准粒子态密度的变化趋势可以作为探测Ni 3d 8组态的一种方法。

英文摘要:

Using density functional based LDA+U method and linear-response theory, we study the magnetic exchange interactions of the superconductor Nd{1-x}Sr{x}NiO2. Our calculated nearest-neighbor exchange constant J1=82 meV is large, weakly affected by doping and is only slightly smaller than that found in the sister compound CaCuO2. We however find that the hole doping significantly enhances the inter--layer exchange coupling as it affects the magnetic moment of the Ni-3d{3z2-r2} orbital. This can be understood in terms of small hybridization of Ni-3d{3z2-r2} within the NiO2 plane which results in a flat band near the Fermi level, and its large overlap along z direction. We also demonstrate that the Nd-5d states appearing at the Fermi level, do not affect the magnetic exchange interactions, and thus may not participate in the superconductivity of this compound. Whereas many previous works emphasize the importance of the Ni-3d{x2-y2} and Nd-5d orbitals, we instead analyze the solution of Ni-3d{x2-y2}/Ni-3d{3z2-r2} minimal model using Dynamical Mean Field Theory. It reveals an underlying Mott insulating state which, depending on precise values of the intra--atomic Hund's coupling less or larger than 0.83 eV, selects upon doping either S=0 or S=1 two--hole states at low energies leading to very different quasiparticle band structures. We propose that trends upon doping in spin excitational spectrum and quasiparticle density of state can be a way to probe Ni 3d8 configuration.
