摘要:

我们使用密度泛函理论计算来探索钙钛矿稀土镍酸盐,$\mathcal{R}$ NiO $_3$的磁性,通过构建微观磁性模型,包含所有相关的交换相互作用,通过Wannierization和格林函数技术。这些模型阐明了反铁磁序形成的机制与实验观察到的传播矢量,并解释了为什么以前的DFT加哈伯德$U$计算有利于铁磁序。我们进行计算的磁矩和交换耦合参数的不同幅度的$R_1^+$呼吸模式失真,这导致在扩大和压缩NiO $_6$八面体。我们发现,磁矩消失的“短键”镍,即,压缩的八面体中的那些。自旋轨道耦合的引入表明磁各向异性很小,而短键镍原子的磁矩即使在非共线的情况下也趋于零。我们的研究结果提供了一个清晰的画面整个镍酸盐系列的磁序的趋势,并深入了解磁序和结构扭曲之间的耦合。

英文摘要:

We use density-functional theory calculations to explore the magnetic properties of perovskite rare-earth nickelates, $\mathcal{R}$NiO$_3$, by constructing microscopic magnetic models containing all relevant exchange interactions via Wannierization and Green's function techniques. These models elucidate the mechanism behind the formation of antiferromagnetic order with the experimentally observed propagation vector, and explain the reason previous DFT plus Hubbard $U$ calculations favored ferromagnetic order. We perform calculations of magnetic moments and exchange-coupling parameters for different amplitudes of the $R_1^+$ breathing mode distortion, which results in expanded and compressed NiO$_6$ octahedra. We find that the magnetic moment vanishes for the "short bond" nickels, i.e., the ones in the compressed octahedra. The inclusion of spin-orbit coupling demonstrates that the magnetic anisotropy is very small, while the magnetic moment of the short bond nickel atoms tend to zero even for the noncollinear case. Our results provide a clear picture of the trends of the magnetic order across the nickelate series and give insights into the coupling between magnetic order and structural distortions.
