摘要:

Fe 3-xGeTe 2是一种层状磁性范德华材料,在基础研究和应用研究中都很有意义。尽管观察到了有趣的物理性质,但甚至在与磁性相关的基本特征上也存在悬而未决的问题:它是一个简单的铁磁体还是存在反铁磁制度,以及矩是局部的还是巡回的。在这里,我们证明了反铁磁自旋涨落共存的铁磁性,通过全面的弹性和非弹性中子散射和热力学测量。我们的实际动力学平均场论计算表明,竞争的磁涨落是由轨道选择性的莫特跃迁,其中只有平面垂直的Fe(3d)流形的a1 g轨道保持巡回。我们的研究结果突出了Fe 3-xGeTe 2中的多轨道特性,该特性支持这种材料中本地和巡回物理学的罕见共存。

英文摘要:

Fe3-xGeTe2 is a layered magnetic van der Waals material of interest for both fundamental and applied research. Despite the observation of intriguing physical properties, open questions exist even on the basic features related to magnetism: is it a simple ferromagnet or are there antiferromagnetic regimes and are the moments local or itinerant. Here, we demonstrate that antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations coexist with the ferromagnetism through comprehensive elastic and inelastic neutron scattering and thermodynamic measurements. Our realistic dynamical mean-field theory calculations reveal that the competing magnetic fluctuations are driven by an orbital selective Mott transition, where only the plane-perpendicular a1g orbital of the Fe(3d) manifold remains itinerant. Our results highlight the multi-orbital character in Fe3-xGeTe2 that supports a rare coexistence of local and itinerant physics within this material.
