Lattice Distortions and Magnetic Interactions in Single-Layer VOCl

Mohammad Amirabbasi, Marcus Ekholm

AI总结:

本研究通过第一性原理计算发现单层 VOCl 普遍存在单斜畸变,并揭示了竞争的铁磁与反铁磁相互作用及高阶磁相互作用在稳定磁基态中的关键作用。

摘要:

从磁性范德华层状材料剥离出的原子级薄层目前在固体物理中备受关注。VOCl 是准二维层状反铁磁体,最近已被合成为单层形式。先前的理论研究假设高温正交晶格对称性在低温范围内同样适用,而已知由于强磁弹耦合,块体系统在低温下呈单斜结构。我们通过第一性原理计算证明,这种单斜畸变在单层中同样普遍存在,这与近期关于单斜对称性的实验迹象一致。计算还表明,竞争的铁磁与反铁磁相互作用引发了双重磁超结构,其中高阶磁相互作用在稳定观测到的磁基态中发挥了关键作用。

英文摘要:

Atomically thin layers exfoliated from magnetic van der Waals layered materials are currently of high interest in solid state physics. VOCl is a quasi-two-dimensional layered antiferromagnet which was recently synthesized in monolayer form. Previous theoretical studies have assumed the high-temperature orthorhombic lattice symmetry also in the low temperature range, where the bulk system is known to be monoclinic due to a strong magnetoelastic coupling. We demonstrate from \textit{ab-initio} calulations that this monoclinic distortion is prevalent also in monolayers, which is in line with recent experimental indications of monoclinic symmetry. Our calculations also show that competing ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions give rise a frustrated two-fold magnetic superstructure where higher-order magnetic interactions play a key role to stabilize the observed magnetic ground state.
