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.

Spin Waves and Spatially Anisotropic Exchange Interactions in the $\mathrm{S=2}$ Stripe Antiferromagnet Rb$_{0.8}$Fe$_{1.5}$S$_2$
用中子非弹性散射方法研究了绝缘Rb $_{0.8}$ Fe $_{1.5}$ S $_2$在布里渊区的条纹反铁磁序自旋波。自旋波谱很好地描述了海森堡哈密顿与各向异性的面内交换相互作用。对有序矩和自旋涨落进行积分,得到$27.6\pm4.2μ_B^2$ /Fe的总矩平方,与$\mathrm{S \approx 2}$一致。不同于$X$ Fe $_2$ As $_2$($X=$ Ca,Sr和Ba),其中巡回电子有显着的贡献,我们的数据表明,Rb $_{0.8}$ Fe $_{1.5}$ S $_2$中的这种条纹反铁磁有序相是一个莫特状绝缘体,具有完全本地化的$3d$电子和高自旋基态配置。然而,各向异性交换耦合似乎是普遍的,在条纹相的铁磷属化物和硫属化物。
