摘要:

Ce化合物具有显著的电子性质多样性,这激发了过去几十年的广泛研究。非弹性中子散射是理解其潜在的电子结构的重要工具,但在某些情况下,一个简单的解释所测得的光谱受到阻碍的存在下,强烈的振动耦合。后者可能会产生额外的光谱特征,这使得将实验数据映射到标准多重峰图上变得复杂。要基准性能的嵌入式集群量子化学计算方案的情况下,$4f$系统,我们在这里解决的Ce 4 $f^1$多重态结构的NaCeO $_2$,反铁磁体与$D_{2d}$磁位对称的中子散射测量表明,只有弱的电子振动效应。计算结果与实验结果非常一致,这验证了我们的计算方法,并确认NaCeO $_2$是中等耦合状态下的4 $f$磁体,具有同样强的4 $f$ -壳层自旋轨道和晶体场相互作用。

英文摘要:

Ce compounds feature a remarkable diversity of electronic properties, which motivated extensive investigations over the last decades. Inelastic neutron scattering represents an important tool for understanding their underlying electronic structures but in certain cases a straightforward interpretation of the measured spectra is hampered by the presence of strong vibronic couplings. The latter may give rise to extra spectral features, which complicates the mapping of experimental data onto standard multiplet diagrams. To benchmark the performance of embedded-cluster quantum chemical computational schemes for the case of $4f$ systems, we here address the Ce 4$f^1$ multiplet structure of NaCeO$_2$, an antiferromagnet with $D_{2d}$ magnetic-site symmetry for which neutron scattering measurements indicate only weak vibronic effects. Very good agreement with the experimental results is found in the computations, which validates our computational approach and confirms NaCeO$_2$ as a 4$f$ magnet in the intermediate coupling regime with equally strong 4$f$-shell spin-orbit and crystal-field interactions.
