摘要:

层状范德华二维磁性材料在基础凝聚态物理研究中具有重要意义,在自旋电子学和器件物理中也有潜在的应用。我们目前的中子粉末衍射数据,使用新的超高压技术来测量莫特绝缘二维蜂窝反铁磁体FePS $_3$的磁结构,在压力高达183 kbar和温度低至80 K。这些数据的补充,高压磁力和反向蒙特卡罗模拟的自旋配置。当施加压力时,先前测量的环境压力磁序从反铁磁切换到铁磁面间相互作用,并且从2D类切换到3D类特征。在$ab$平面内的整体反铁磁结构,即反铁磁耦合的铁磁链,被保留,但是磁传播矢量从$(0\:1\:\frac{1}{2})$改变为$(0\:1\:0)$,磁性单元尺寸减半。在较高的压力下,与该化合物的第二结构转变和绝缘体-金属转变相一致,我们观察到这种长程有序的抑制和在室温以上生存的磁性短程有序形式的出现。反向蒙特卡罗拟合表明,这一阶段是一个短期的版本,原来的环境压力结构-与反铁磁晶面间的相关性的回报。磁性的持久性以及进入HP-II金属状态是一个观察,似乎与以前的X射线光谱结果,这表明自旋交叉过渡矛盾。

英文摘要:

Layered van-der-Waals 2D magnetic materials are of great interest in fundamental condensed-matter physics research, as well as for potential applications in spintronics and device physics. We present neutron powder diffraction data using new ultra-high-pressure techniques to measure the magnetic structure of Mott-insulating 2D honeycomb antiferromagnet FePS$_3$ at pressures up to 183 kbar and temperatures down to 80 K. These data are complemented by high-pressure magnetometry and reverse Monte Carlo modeling of the spin configurations. As pressure is applied, the previously-measured ambient-pressure magnetic order switches from an antiferromagnetic to a ferromagnetic interplanar interaction, and from 2D-like to 3D-like character. The overall antiferromagnetic structure within the $ab$ planes, ferromagnetic chains antiferromagnetically coupled, is preserved, but the magnetic propagation vector is altered from $(0\:1\:\frac{1}{2})$ to $(0\:1\:0)$, a halving of the magnetic unit cell size. At higher pressures, coincident with the second structural transition and the insulator-metal transition in this compound, we observe a suppression of this long-range-order and emergence of a form of magnetic short-range order which survives above room temperature. Reverse Monte Carlo fitting suggests this phase to be a short-ranged version of the original ambient pressure structure - with a return to antiferromagnetic interplanar correlations. The persistence of magnetism well into the HP-II metallic state is an observation in seeming contradiction with previous x-ray spectroscopy results which suggest a spin-crossover transition.
