AI总结:

针对强自旋轨道耦合$t_{2g}^4$ Mott绝缘体,本文推导有效自旋1/2交换作用,证明其普遍形成具有内禀横场的反铁磁TFIM,并以Ru$^{4+}$和多种二维晶格相图、激发谱加以定量说明。

摘要:

含有强自旋轨道耦合的$t_{2g}^4$离子的Mott绝缘过渡金属氧化物,近期被证明会因低能多重态通过交换过程发生动力学混合而展现出不同寻常的磁性。本文在四方或三方晶体场于单态离子基态之上选出单一相关激发态、从而产生有效自旋$\ rac12$的情形下,推导了交换相互作用。我们表明,这些磁矩普遍服从反铁磁横场Ising模型(TFIM),其内禀横场由两个离子单态之间的分裂产生。以Ru$^{4+}$作为示例离子,我们给出了交换作用的定量估计,并基于若干二维晶格——正方、蜂窝以及阻挫三角晶格——所得的相图和激发谱,阐明了涌现的TFIM物理。

英文摘要:

Mott-insulating transition metal oxides containing $t_{2g}^4$ ions with strong spin-orbit coupling were recently demonstrated to display unusual magnetism due to a dynamical mixing of the low-energy multiplet states via exchange processes. Here we derive exchange interactions in the situation where a tetragonal or trigonal crystal field selects a single relevant excited state on top of the singlet ionic ground state, producing an effective spin-$\frac12$. We show that these moments universally obey antiferromagnetic transverse-field Ising model (TFIM) with an intrinsic transverse field generated by the splitting of the two ionic singlets. Using Ru$^{4+}$ as a example ion, we provide quantitative estimates of the exchange and illustrate the emergent TFIM physics based on phase diagrams and excitation spectra obtained for several 2D lattices - square, honeycomb, as well as for the frustrated triangular lattice.
