钛酸锶中的自旋轨道相互作用和电子关联效应

Effects of spin-orbit interaction and electron correlations in strontium titanate

Sergei Urazhdin, Ekram Towsif, Alexander Mitrofanov

摘要:

我们发现,在SrTiO $_3$的导带中的布洛赫态产生的高度各向异性跳跃的子带来自Ti $t_{2g}$轨道和自旋轨道耦合,混合这些轨道之间的相互作用。由于主轴之一的近平带特性,在足够高的掺杂,这些布洛赫态变得不稳定,相对于电子相互作用,导致莫特样单重关联。这些发现可能与SrTiO $_3$的异常电子性质有关,包括其不寻常的超导电性。

英文摘要:

We show that the Bloch states in the conduction band of SrTiO$_3$ arise from the interplay between highly anisotropic hopping in sub-bands derived from the Ti $t_{2g}$ orbitals and spin-orbit coupling that mixes these orbitals. Because of the nearly flat-band characteristics for one of the principal axes, at sufficiently high doping these Bloch states become unstable with respect to electron interactions, resulting in Mott-like singlet correlations. These findings may be relevant to the anomalous electronic properties of SrTiO$_3$, including its unusual superconductivity.
