AI总结:

本研究通过共振软X射线散射与偏振测量,发现双层La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$的SDW态形成单向对角自旋条纹及各向异性畴,无强电荷歧化,其对称性破缺与铜基、铁基超导体类似,为理解镍酸盐超导配对机制提供新依据。

摘要:

La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$在压力下超导性的发现推动了对母体自旋密度波(SDW)态的研究,该态可能提供潜在的配对相互作用。本文中,我们对双层La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$薄膜采用共振软X射线散射和偏振测量法,确定SDW的磁结构形成单向对角自旋条纹,其磁矩位于NiO$_2$平面内且垂直于$\boldsymbol{\rm Q}_{SDW}$,但未发现其他镍酸盐通常伴随的强电荷歧化迹象。这些条纹形成各向异性畴,垂直于$\boldsymbol{\rm Q}_{SDW}$方向的关联长度短于平行方向,揭示出纳米尺度的旋转与平移对称性破缺,与铜基和铁基超导体类似,且正交畴之间可能存在类布洛赫反铁磁畴壁。

英文摘要:

The discovery of superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under pressure has motivated the investigation of a parent spin density wave (SDW) state, which could provide the underlying pairing interaction. Here, we employ resonant soft x-ray scattering and polarimetry on thin films of bilayer La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ to determine that the magnetic structure of the SDW forms unidirectional diagonal spin stripes with moments lying within the NiO$_2$ plane and perpendicular to $\mathbf{Q}_{SDW}$, but without evidence of the strong charge disproportionation typically associated with other nickelates. These stripes form anisotropic domains with shorter correlation lengths perpendicular versus parallel to $\mathbf{Q}_{SDW}$, revealing nanoscale rotational and translational symmetry breaking analogous to the cuprate and Fe-based superconductors, with possible Bloch-like antiferromagnetic domain walls separating orthogonal domains.
