摘要:

用非弹性中子散射结合\textit{ab-initio}晶格动力学计算研究了FeSi中声子穿过电子-金属交叉的重整化.在110 $-$ 001散射平面上具有特定焦点的倒易空间的显著部分由在交叉点下方和上方获取的飞行时间非弹性中子散射数据映射。个人的动量值进行了更详细的研究作为温度的函数。结果表明,金属化过程中的反常声子软化现象并不局限于高对称性的$R$和$Γ$点.其他几个声子模式周围的$R$点以及声子模式的$M$和$X$点的布里渊区表现出异常声子软化的幅度与观察到的$R$点。基于密度泛函微扰理论的晶格动力学计算再现了声子软化的动量依赖性。我们讨论了我们的研究结果方面的性质的超导体到金属的交叉在FeSi,其中不同的微观起源已被提出,即,晶格热无序和电子相关效应。

英文摘要:

The phonon renormalization across the semiconductor-to-metal crossover in FeSi is investigated by inelastic neutron scattering combined with \textit{ab-initio} lattice dynamical calculations. A significant part of reciprocal space with a particular focus on the 110$-$001 scattering plane is mapped by the time-of-flight inelastic neutron scattering data taken below and above the crossover. Individual momentum values are investigated in more detail as a function of temperature. The data reveal that the anomalous phonon softening upon metallization is not exclusive to the high symmetry $R$ and $Γ$ points. Several other phonon modes around the $R$-point as well as the phonon modes at the $M$ and $X$ points of the Brillouin zone exhibit anomalous phonon softening with magnitudes comparable to that observed at the $R$-point. The momentum dependence of the phonon softening is reproduced by the lattice dynamical calculation based on the density functional perturbation theory. We discuss our findings with respect to the nature of the semiconductor-to-metal crossover in FeSi, for which different microscopic origins have been proposed, i.e., lattice thermal disorder and electronic correlation effects.
