本研究结合 QMC 与 DFT$+U$ 并优化 Tb、Sn 赝势,揭示电子关联对 TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$ 磁矩和近 Fermi 能级 Dirac 交叉的关键影响。

摘要:

作为 RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ 稀土家族材料的一员,TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$ 最近在实验中显示出实现量子极限 Chern 磁体的迹象。在本工作中,我们采用量子 Monte Carlo(QMC)和含 Hubbard $U$ 的密度泛函理论(DFT$+U$)计算来考察 TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$ 的电子结构。为此,我们使用耦合簇方法和组态相互作用(CI)方法,为 Tb 和 Sn 优化了精确且关联一致的赝势。我们发现,DFT$+U$ 和单参考 QMC 计算与 meta-GGA 及杂化密度泛函近似一样,都会高估磁矩。我们的结果表明,为准确预测磁性质,需要改进此类材料的轨道/波函数,例如来自 CI 的自然轨道,或纳入能够捕捉静态关联的多参考效应。将 Mn 磁矩调整至实验值的 DFT$+U$ 预测,体相中的 Dirac 交叉接近 Fermi 能级,偏差在约 120 meV 以内,与实验相符。我们的非化学计量比平板计算显示,Dirac 交叉会更接近 Fermi 能级,表明在该极限下有可能实现 Chern 磁性。

英文摘要:

A member of the RMn$_6$Sn$_6$ rare-earth family materials, TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$, recently showed experimental signatures of the realization of a quantum-limit Chern magnet. In this work, we use quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and density functional theory with Hubbard $U$ (DFT$+U$) calculations to examine the electronic structure of TbMn$_6$Sn$_6$. To do so, we optimize accurate, correlation-consistent pseudopotentials for Tb and Sn using coupled-cluster and configuration-interaction (CI) methods. We find that DFT$+U$ and single-reference QMC calculations suffer from the same overestimation of the magnetic moments as meta-GGA and hybrid density functional approximations. Our findings point to the need for improved orbitals/wavefunctions for this class of materials, such as natural orbitals from CI, or for the inclusion of multi-reference effects that capture the static correlations for an accurate prediction of magnetic properties. DFT$+U$ with Mn magnetic moments adjusted to experiment predict the Dirac crossing in bulk to be close to the Fermi level, within $\sim 120$ meV, in agreement with the experiments. Our non-stoichiometric slab calculations show that the Dirac crossing approaches even closer to the Fermi level, suggesting the possible realization of Chern magnetism in this limit.
