We present density functional theory calculations for low-$T_c$ metallic ferromagnet La$_5$Co$_2$Ge$_3$ at ambient and applied pressures. Our investigations reveal that the system is a quasi-one-dimensional ferromagnet with a peculiar coexistence of two different orbital-selective magnetic moments at two crystallographically inequivalent cobalt atoms, Co1 and Co2. Namely, due to different crystal-field splitting, the magnetic moment of Co1 atoms predominantly derives from $d_{xz}$ orbital whereas of Co2 atoms from $d_{xy}$ orbital. Consequently, Co1 and Co2 atoms develop unequal net magnetic moments, a feature that gives rise to a periodic, spatial modulation of magnetization along crystallographic $c$-direction. The amplitude of the spatial modulation, small at ambient pressure, drastically increases with applied pressure, until Co2 atoms become nonmagnetic. With the help of a toy model mimicking found orbital-selective ferromagnetic order, we demonstrate that the increasing amplitude of spatial modulation provides a consistent interpretation to the recently observed resistivity anomaly emerging at applied pressure identified as the appearance of the {\it new state}. Although, proposed here structural origin of the spatial modulation of magnetic moments in La$_5$Co$_2$Ge$_3$ is an alternative one to the advocated for this material ferromagnetic quantum criticality avoidance, the effects of quantum fluctuations can still play an important role at pressure larger than up-to-date measured 5GPa.

Tunability of Room Temperature Ferromagnetism in Spintronic Semiconductors through Non-magnetic Atoms
通过在半导体晶格中添加磁性原子来实现和控制室温铁磁性(RTFM)是近十年来固态物理中最重要的问题之一。在这里,我们报告的第一次,据我们所知,在机制上,允许RTFM被调谐的列入\emph{non-magnetic}铝镍铁氧体。这种材料,NiFe $_{2-x}$ Al $_x$ O $_4$(x=0,0.5,1.5),已经显示出磁性半导体技术的前景,我们能够增加其多功能性的技术可行性与我们的结果。Fe原子(Fe $^{3+}$ T $_d$、Fe $^{2+}$ O $_h$和Fe $^{3+}$ O $_h$)的位置占有率和价态可以通过包含铝而有系统地控制。利用铝强烈偏好3+八面体环境的事实,我们可以选择性地用铝原子填充铁位点,从而专门调整每个铁位点的磁性贡献,因此也调整了块体材料的磁性贡献。有趣的是,铝对电子结构(补充材料)的影响很弱,允许人们在保持理想的电子特性的同时实现理想的磁特性。
Prediction of orbital selective Mott phases and block magnetic states in the quasi-one-dimensional iron chain Ce$_2$O$_2$FeSe$_2$ under hole and electron doping
最近的准一维铁基梯形的详细研究,与$3d$铁的电子密度$n = 6$,揭示了惊喜,如轨道选择性阶段。然而,对$n=6$铁链的类似研究仍然很少。本文利用三轨道电子Hubbard模型研究了准一维$n=6$铁链Ce $_2$ O $_2$ FeSe $_2$的磁性和电子性质,重点研究了掺杂对体系的影响.具体地说,引入Hubbard $U$和Hund $J_{H}$耦合,并通过密度矩阵重整化群研究模型,我们报告的基态相图改变电子密度远离$n=6$。对于现实的Hund耦合$J_{H}/U = 1/4$,得到几个电子相,包括金属,轨道选择性Mott,和Mott绝缘相。远离母相掺杂,许多倾向的竞争导致各种磁性状态,如铁磁性,以及几个反铁磁性和磁性“块”相。在空穴掺杂区,发现了两种不同的轨道选择性Mott相:OSMP1(具有一个定域轨道和两个巡游轨道)和OSMP2(具有两个定域轨道和一个巡游轨道)。在特定的掺杂区域还发现了电荷分离现象。我们认为,我们的预测可以通过简单的修改在原来的化学式Ce $_2$ O $_2$ FeSe $_2$。
