AI总结:

本研究利用中子散射发现,沿[010]方向施加单轴应力可使重费米子化合物CeAuSb$_2$发生一阶相变,进入具有新传播矢量的自旋密度波态,该磁序驱动的空间反演破缺引发了费米面重构及输运性质改变。

摘要:

四方重费米子化合物CeAuSb$_2$(空间群$P4/nmm$)在$T_{N}\approx6.5~K$以下展现出具有传播矢量$\mathbf{q}_A = (δ_A,δ_A,1/2)$的非公度自旋密度波(SDW)序。沿[010]方向施加单轴应力,在压缩应变为$ε\approx -0.5$%时引起电阻率比$ρ_a/ρ_b$的突变。我们使用中子散射表明,单轴应力诱导了向具有不同传播矢量$(0,δ_B,1/2)$(其中$δ_B=0.25$)的SDW态的一阶相变。新(B)相的磁结构由具有有序磁矩的Ce层与零磁矩层沿$c$轴交替堆叠组成。有序层沿$b$轴呈上上下下构型。这是一种由磁序驱动的空间反演对称性破缺的罕见情况。我们认为,SDW波矢的改变导致了费米面重构以及随之而来的输运性质变化。

英文摘要:

The tetragonal heavy-fermion compound CeAuSb$_2$ (space group $P4/nmm$) exhibits incommensurate spin density wave (SDW) order below $T_{N}\approx6.5~K$ with the propagation vector $\mathbf{q}_A = (δ_A,δ_A,1/2)$. The application of uniaxial stress along the [010] direction induces a sudden change in the resistivity ratio $ρ_a/ρ_b$ at a compressive strain of $ε\approx -0.5$\%. Here we use neutron scattering to show that the uniaxial stress induces a first-order transition to a SDW state with a different propagation vector $(0,δ_B,1/2)$ with $δ_B=0.25$. The magnetic structure of the new (B) phase consists of Ce layers with ordered moments alternating with layers with zero moment stacked along the $c$-axis. The ordered layers have an up-up-down-down configuration along the $b$-axis. This is an unusual situation in which the loss of spatial inversion is driven by the magnetic order. We argue that the change in SDW wavevector leads to Fermi surface reconstruction and a concomitant change in the transport properties.
