双层三卤化铬中所有原始堆积模式的磁性和稳定性

Magnetism and stability of all primitive stacking patterns in bilayer chromium trihalides

Marco Gibertini

摘要:

三卤化铬,CrX $_3$(其中X = Cl、Br、I),是一类分层磁性材料,其可以容易地剥离以提供铁磁单层。当两个层堆叠在一起形成双层时,层间交换耦合可以是铁磁的或反铁磁的,这取决于堆叠顺序。在这里,我们结合晶体学参数的基础上的紧密堆积条件与第一性原理模拟,枚举所有可能的堆叠模式在CrX $_3$双层,保持每一层的空间周期性。我们恢复在散装晶体中观察到的所有配置,并公开堆叠序列,没有散装对应的两层具有相反的手性。堆叠序列根据它们的相对稳定性进行排名,并将优先层间磁排序分配给它们中的每一个。模拟提供了一个一致的图片框所有目前的实验观察散装和剥离的CrX $_3$晶体,有趣的影响,为未来的测量,包括合成双层非标准的堆叠模式。

英文摘要:

Chromium trihalides, CrX$_3$ (with X = Cl, Br, I), are a family of layered magnetic materials that can be easily exfoliated to provide ferromagnetic monolayers. When two layers are stacked together to form a bilayer the interlayer exchange coupling can be either ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic depending on the stacking sequence. Here we combine crystallographic arguments based on the close-packing condition with first-principles simulations to enumerate all possible stacking patterns in CrX$_3$ bilayers that preserve the spatial periodicity of each layer. We recover all configurations observed in bulk crystals and disclose stacking sequences with no bulk counterpart where the two layers have opposite chirality. Stacking sequences are ranked according to their relative stability and a preferential interlayer magnetic ordering is assigned to each of them. Simulations provide a consistent picture to frame all current experimental observations on bulk and exfoliated CrX$_3$ crystals, with interesting implications for future measurements, including synthetic bilayers with non-standard stacking patterns.
