AI总结:

本文通过红外光谱和晶格动力学计算研究 Co$_4B_2$O$_9$($B$=Nb, Ta)的自旋-声子耦合,发现其耦合常数来自层间竞争性交换作用,且强度在同类氧化物中居前列,为磁电耦合提供了可能起源。

摘要:

为了探索一组化学相似的混合金属氧化物中自旋-轨道耦合对自旋-声子相互作用的影响,我们测量了 Co$_4B_2$O$_9$($B$ = Nb, Ta)随温度变化的红外振动性质,并将实验结果与晶格动力学计算以及几种不同的自旋-声子耦合模型进行了比较。Co$^{2+}$ 剪切模在约 150 cm$^{-1}$ 处的频率随温度变化趋势显示,在磁有序温度附近存在显著位移,相对而言尤其大。综合这些结果并考虑非共线性后,我们得到 Co$_4$Nb$_2$O$_9$ 和 Ta 类似物的自旋-声子耦合常数分别为 -3.4 和 -4.3 cm$^{-1}$。分析表明,这些耦合常数来源于层间(而非层内)交换相互作用,并且层间相互作用包含竞争性的反铁磁和铁磁贡献。同时,由于偶然的对称性因素,超越海森堡模型的项被最小化,这与大多数其他含 4$d$ 和 5$d$ 的氧化物不同。与其他当代氧化物的比较表明,该材料家族中的自旋-声子耦合是迄今报道的最强之一,这暗示了磁电耦合的起源。

英文摘要:

In order to explore the consequences of spin-orbit coupling on spin-phonon interactions in a set of chemically-similar mixed metal oxides, we measured the infrared vibrational properties of Co$_4B_2$O$_9$ ($B$ = Nb, Ta) as a function of temperature and compared our findings with lattice dynamics calculations and several different models of spin-phonon coupling. Frequency vs. temperature trends for the Co$^{2+}$ shearing mode near 150 cm$^{-1}$ reveal significant shifts across the magnetic ordering temperature that are especially large in relative terms. Bringing these results together and accounting for noncollinearity, we obtain spin-phonon coupling constants of -3.4 and -4.3 cm$^{-1}$ for Co$_4$Nb$_2$O$_9$ and the Ta analog, respectively. Analysis reveals that these coupling constants derive from interlayer (rather than intralayer) exchange interactions and that the interlayer interactions contain competing antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic contributions. At the same time, beyond-Heisenberg terms are minimized due to fortuitous symmetry considerations, different than most other 4$d$- and 5$d$-containing oxides. Comparison with other contemporary oxides shows that spin-phonon coupling in this family of materials is among the strongest ever reported, suggesting an origin for magnetoelectric coupling.
