我们报道了层状Zintl相化合物EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$的磁性与电子性质,该化合物结晶为三角CaAl$_2$Si$_2$型结构。中子衍射测量表明,EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$在$T_{\ m N} = 27.5(5)$~K以下经历A型反铁磁(AFM)有序,Eu磁矩(Eu$^{2+}$,$S = 7/2$)在$ab$面内铁磁排列。$H = 0$的磁结构由与$ab$面磁各向异性相关的三角反铁磁畴组成,在$T = 2$~K、低于临界场$H_{c1} = 2.5(1)$ kOe时,畴内Eu自旋发生场致重取向。电阻率和ARPES测量表明,EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$在$T_{\ m N}$上下均为金属性。在反铁磁相中,我们直接观察到ARPES中因沿$c$轴磁单胞加倍而出现的折叠能带,且随着冷却至$T_{\ m N}$以下,磁矩与巡游电子之间耦合的复杂变化导致准粒子权重增强。观测到的电子结构可由第一性原理计算很好地重现,该计算还预测在反铁磁相中费米能级附近存在非平庸电子态,其$Z_2$拓扑数为1;(000)。
英文摘要:
The magnetic and electronic properties of the layered Zintl-phase compound EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$ crystallizing in the trigonal CaAl$_2$Si$_2$-type structure are reported. Our neutron-diffraction measurements show that EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$ undergoes A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering below $T_{\rm N} = 27.5(5)$~K, with the Eu moments (Eu$^{2+}$, $S = 7/2$) aligned ferromagnetically in the $ab$ plane. The $H = 0$ magnetic structure consists of trigonal AFM domains associated with $ab$-plane magnetic anisotropy and a field-induced reorientation of the Eu spins in the domains is evident at $T = 2$~K below the critical field $H_{c1} = 2.5(1)$ kOe. Electrical resistivity and ARPES measurements show that EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$ is metallic both above and below $T_{\rm N}$. In the AFM phase, we directly observe folded bands in ARPES due to the doubling of the magnetic unit cell along the $c$ axis with an enhancement of quasiparticle weight due to the complex change in the coupling between the magnetic moments and itinerant electrons on cooling below $T_{\rm N}$. The observed electronic structure is well reproduced by first-principle calculations, which also predict the presence of nontrivial electronic states near the Fermi level in the AFM phase with $Z_2$ topological numbers 1;(000).

Density functional theory analysis of the interplay between Jahn-Teller instability, uniaxial magnetism, spin arrangement, metal-metal interaction and spin-orbit coupling in Ca3CoMO6 (M = Co, Rh, Ir)
利用LSDA+U能带结构计算发现,新型一维钴酸盐Ca $_3$ Co $_2$ O $_6$不是铁磁半金属,而是Mott绝缘体.八面体和三角形的钴离子形式上都是三价的,八面体处于低自旋状态,三角形处于高自旋状态。自旋-轨道耦合的引入导致了异常配位的三角Co占据了少数自旋$d_{2}$轨道,产生了巨大的轨道矩(1.57 $μ_{B}$)。它还导致了一个非常大的磁晶各向异性(70 meV),解释了为什么磁性是高度伊辛样。氧空穴的作用,携带的诱导磁矩为0.13 $μ_{B}$每氧,交换相互作用进行了讨论。

Magnetic order and interactions in ferrimagnetic Mn3Si2Te6
用热力学测量、第一性原理计算、中子衍射和中子在单晶上的漫散射研究了Mn $_3$ Si $_2$ Te $_6$的磁性。这些数据证实Mn $_3$ Si $_2$ Te $_6$在低于$T_C$的居里温度约78 K时是亚铁磁体。磁性是各向异性的,磁化和中子衍射表明,矩位于三角结构的基面内。在5 K下约1.6 $μ_B$ /Mn的饱和磁化强度源自两个反铁磁对准的Mn位点的不同多重性。第一性原理计算揭示了三个最近的Mn-Mn对的反铁磁交换,这导致了亚铁磁基态与其他三种磁性构型之间的竞争.亚铁磁态是由与第三近邻相互作用相关的能量产生的,因此长程相互作用对观察到的行为是必不可少的。在120 K下,在002布拉格反射附近观察到漫磁散射,这表明在$T_C$以上存在强自旋相关。这些都是由竞争基态,导致相对抑制$T_C$,并可能与一个小的铁磁成分,产生各向异性磁性低于$\approx$ 330 K。
Evidences for the random singlet phase in a new honeycomb iridate SrIr$_2$O$_{6-δ}$
具有蜂窝结构的强自旋轨道耦合磁性系统可以提供键方向相互作用,这可能导致Kitaev量子自旋液体和奇异的任意子激发。然而,在Kitaev系统中,对真实材料中的关键成分之一$-$紊乱$-$的研究要少得多。在这里,我们合成了一个三方$_2$ O $_{6-δ}$与$δ\approx 0.25$,它由二维蜂窝状Ir平面与边缘共享IrO $_6$八面体。第一性原理计算和实验测量表明,电子系统是带隙的,并且应该没有磁矩,因为Ir $^{5+}$离子没有未成对电子。然而,在材料中观察到了显著的磁性,并且它可以归因于最有可能来自氧空位的紊乱。在0.05 K以下没有发现磁有序,磁化率和零场比热均呈幂律变化,比热在磁场下呈单参数标度变化。这些结果为$_2$ O $_{6-δ}$中存在无规单重态相提供了有力的证据,它为自旋轨道纠缠的铱酸盐和Kitaev材料家族提供了不同的成员。
