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.

Towards a Microscopic Model of Magnetoelectric Interactions in Ni3V2O8
我们在Ni $_3$ V $_2$ O $_8$(NVO)中发展了一种微观磁电耦合,它引起了以前用来解释磁和铁电序参量同时出现的相变的三线性唯象耦合。利用中子散射测量和对NVO声子的第一性原理计算,我们确定了11个能引起所观察到的自发极化的声子。在这11个声子中,我们发现有几个声子确实能引起一个显著的偶极矩。使用计算的原子电荷,我们发现,所需的扭曲,诱导观察到的偶极矩是非常小的(~0.001 <$),因此,这将是非常困难的,通过中子粉末衍射观察到的扭曲。最后,我们确定的衍生物的交换张量相对于原子位移所需的微观模型的自旋-声子耦合在NVO,我们希望将获得从一个基本的量子计算,如LDA+U。我们还分析了两个玩具模型,以说明Dzyaloskinskiii-Moriya相互作用是非常重要的共存的磁性和铁电秩序,但它不是唯一的机制时,系统的局部位置对称性足够低。
Chern-Simons orbital magnetoelectric coupling in generic insulators
在第一性原理密度泛函理论的框架下,提出了一种基于Wannier的计算Chern-Simons轨道磁电耦合的方法.鉴于最近的发展与强大的Z2拓扑绝缘体,我们预计,陈-西蒙斯的贡献的磁电耦合,在特殊情况下,可以是一样大或大于总磁电耦合在已知的磁电像Cr2 O3。对普通的Cr_2O_3,BiFeO_3和GdAlO_3磁电体的计算结果证实了在这些情况下Chern-Simons贡献是很小的。另一方面,我们表明,如果空间反转和时间反转对称性的Z2拓扑绝缘体Bi 2 Se 3的手被打破,大的诱导变化出现在陈-西蒙斯磁电耦合。

本文报道了Fe $^{3+}$对TbMn $_{1-x}$ Fe $_x$ O $_3$($x=0$,0.02和0.04)中的静态和动态磁电耦合的影响。阳离子取代对竞争性磁相互作用之间的平衡有很大的影响,因此,在低温下对磁性结构和铁电相的稳定性有很大的影响。低位的电磁振子激发激活TbMnO $_3$中的摆线调制的反铁磁和铁电相,而它被观察到TN的Fe取代的化合物,静态和动态磁电耦合的不同机制。第二个电活性激发近40厘米$^{-1}$解释通过Tb 3+晶体场效应。这种激发被观察到室温,并表现出显着的15厘米$^{-1}$降频冷却Fe取代的化合物。电磁振子和晶体场激发被发现耦合到极性声子的频率高达250厘米$^{-1}$。拉曼光谱显示纯TbMn O $_3$在TN以下存在自旋-声子耦合,但TbMn $_{0.96}$ Fe $_{0.04}$ O $_3$的自旋-声子耦合开始温度随Fe浓度的增加而升高,达到100 K。自旋-声子耦合和晶体场激发,耦合到氧运动的T-依赖性的磁化率TN以上的异常占。
