用DC电场控制超交换相互作用

Control of superexchange interactions with DC electric fields

Shunsuke C. Furuya, Kazuaki Takasan, Masahiro Sato

摘要:

我们讨论直流电场控制的超交换相互作用。我们首先提出了通用的反铁磁和铁磁超交换相互作用的有效性在广泛的一类莫特绝缘体,在那里我们还估计典型的场强观察直流电场效应:$\sim 1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$的无机莫特绝缘体,如过渡金属氧化物和$\sim 0.1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$的有机的。接下来,我们将这些结果应用到几何受挫的量子自旋系统。我们的理论广泛适用于(准)二维和薄膜系统和一维量子自旋系统的各种晶格,如正方形,蜂窝状,三角形,和kagome的。在本文中,我们把注意力集中在正方形格上和链上。对于正方形晶格,我们表明,直流电场可以控制最近邻和次最近邻交换相互作用的比例。在某些实际情况下,直流电场使两个次近邻相互作用不等价,最终使正方晶格量子自旋系统变为变形的三角晶格量子自旋系统。对于链,直流电场可以诱导单线态二聚体和Haldane二聚体有序。我们证明了在自旋链化合物$\mathrm{KCuMoO_4(OH)}$的情况下,当外加$\sim 1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$的直流电场时,海森堡反铁磁链中直流电场诱导的自旋能隙$\propto |\boldsymbol E|^{2/3}$将达到占主导地位的超交换相互作用的$\sim 10~\%$。

英文摘要:

We discuss DC electric-field controls of superexchange interactions. We first present generic results about antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic superexchange interactions valid in a broad class of Mott insulators, where we also estimate typical field strength to observe DC electric-field effects: $\sim 1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$ for inorganic Mott insulators such as transition-metal oxides and $\sim 0.1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$ for organic ones. Next, we apply these results to geometrically frustrated quantum spin systems. Our theory widely applies to (quasi-)two-dimensional and thin-film systems and one-dimensional quantum spin systems on various lattices such as square, honeycomb, triangular, and kagome ones. In this paper, we give our attention to those on the square lattice and on the chain. For the square lattice, we show that DC electric fields can control a ratio of the nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor exchange interactions. In some realistic cases, DC electric fields make the two next-nearest-neighbor interactions nonequivalent and eventually turns the square-lattice quantum spin system into a deformed triangular-lattice one. For the chain, DC electric fields can induce singlet-dimer and Haldane-dimer orders. We show that the DC electric-field-induced spin gap $\propto |\boldsymbol E|^{2/3}$ in the Heisenberg antiferromagnetic chain will reach $\sim 10~\%$ of the dominant superexchange interaction in the case of a spin-chain compound $\mathrm{KCuMoO_4(OH)}$ when the DC electric field of $\sim 1~\mathrm{MV/cm}$ is applied.
