摘要:

我们开展了有限温度下的第一性原理计算,以研究假设为L2₁和B2结构的Co₂MnZ(Z=Si、Al)的磁学性质(如交换刚度常数和居里温度)的温度依赖性。在L2₁结构中,我们证实Co₂MnAl具有相对较高的居里温度,与Co₂MnSi的居里温度相当;然而,其零温下的交换刚度常数和单格点磁激发能远小于Co₂MnSi的对应值。这可能表明,巡游磁体的居里温度无法由零温下的交换相互作用决定。我们还研究了两种合金的交换刚度常数的温度依赖性,发现假设为L2₁结构的Co₂MnAl的交换刚度常数的温度依赖性具有鲁棒性。这可能是其尽管交换刚度常数较小、却仍具有高居里温度的原因。最后,我们研究了电子结构的温度依赖性,以探究有限温度下交换刚度常数行为的起源。我们证实,由于自旋无序引起的电子结构改变,化学势处的自旋极化率随温度升高而有效增加。这可能有助于提升有限温度下交换刚度常数的鲁棒性。我们的结果表明,有限温度下自旋无序导致的电子结构重整化会影响Co₂MnAl的交换相互作用。

英文摘要:

We performed first-principles calculations at finite temperatures to investigate the temperature dependence of the magnetic properties, such as exchange stiffness constants and Curie temperatures, of Co2MnZ (Z= Si, Al) assuming L21 and B2 structures. In L21 structures, we confirmed a relatively high Curie temperature for Co2MnAl, compatible with that of Co2MnSi; however, its exchange stiffness constant and single site magnetic excitation energy at zero temperature are much smaller than those of Co2MnSi. This might indicate that the Curie temperature of itinerant magnets cannot be determined by the exchange interaction at zero temperature. We also investigated the temperature dependence of the exchange stiffness constants of both alloys, and we found robustness in the temperature dependence of the exchange stiffness constant for Co2MnAl, assuming an L21 structure. This might lead to a high Curie temperature, contrary to the small exchange stiffness constant. Finally, we examined the temperature dependence of the electronic structure to investigate the origin of the behavior of the exchange stiffness constant at finite temperatures. We confirmed that the spin polarization at chemical potential effectively increases with an increasing temperature due to the altered electronic structure induced by the spin disorder. This might contribute to the robustness of the exchange stiffness constant at finite temperatures. Our results might indicate that renomarization of the electronic structure due to spin disorder at finite temperature influences the exchange interactions of Co2MnAl.
