摘要:

理解镍酸盐系统中磁性和超导性之间的相互作用是凝聚态物理中的关键目标。本文系统地研究了在常压和施加压力下,三层 Ruddlesden-Popper 镍酸盐 La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ 的 muon-spin 旋转/松弛(μSR)和电阻率特性,结合氧同位素替代。在常压下,在 $T_{SDW}\simeq132$ K 和 $T^\ast\simeq80-90$ K 处识别出两个非共轭的自旋密度波(SDW)转变。比较内部磁场与偶极场计算揭示了磁结构,与外两层 Ni 层的反铁磁耦合 SDW 顺序一致,内层具有较小的矩。在 $T^\ast$ 以上,矩主要位于 $ab$ 平面,而在该温度以下则发展出 $c$ 轴成分。muon 停止位点的内部磁场在 $T_{SDW}$ 处突然出现,表明 SDW 转变类似于一级相变,与在同一温度($T_{SDW}=T_{CDW}$)发生的电荷密度波(CDW)顺序密切相关。在压力下,所有转变温度——$T_{SDW}$、$T^\ast$ 和 $T_{CDW}$——以近似均匀的速率 $\simeq-13$ K/GPa 被抑制。这与双层 La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ 相比,其中压力增强了 SDW 和 CDW 转变之间的分离度不同。氧同位素替代($^{16}$O → $^{18}$O)将 $T_{CDW}$ 提高到更高的值。同位素对 $T_{SDW}$ 和 $T^\ast$ 的影响差异显著:当 CDW 和 SDW 交织时,观察到明显的同位素效应,导致 $T_{CDW}$ 和 $T_{SDW}$ 的同位素位移几乎相同,而在 $T^\ast$ 处,SDW 转变与 CDW 无关,未检测到同位素效应。

英文摘要:

Understanding the interplay between magnetism and superconductivity in nickelate systems is a key objective in condensed matter physics. Here, we present a systematic muon-spin rotation/relaxation ($μ$SR) and resistivity study of the trilayer Ruddlesden-Popper nickelate La$_4$Ni$_3$O$_{10}$ under ambient and applied pressure, combined with oxygen-isotope substitution. At ambient pressure, two incommensurate spin-density-wave (SDW) transitions are identified at $T_{SDW}\simeq132$ K and $T^\ast\simeq80-90$ K. Comparison of the internal magnetic fields with dipole-field calculations reveals a magnetic structure consistent with antiferromagnetically coupled SDW order on the outer two Ni layers, with smaller moments on the inner layer. Above $T^\ast$, the moments lie mainly in the $ab$ plane, whereas below this temperature they develop a $c$-axis component. The internal fields at the muon stopping sites appear abruptly at $T_{SDW}$, suggesting a first-order-like SDW transition closely linked to the charge-density-wave (CDW) order occurring at the same temperature ($T_{SDW}=T_{CDW}$). Under pressure, all transition temperatures -- $T_{SDW}$, $T^\ast$, and $T_{CDW}$ -- are suppressed at a nearly uniform rate of $\simeq-13$ K/GPa. This contrasts with bilayer La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$, where pressure enhances the separation between the SDW and CDW transitions. Oxygen-isotope substitution ($^{16}$O $\rightarrow$ $^{18}$O) shifts $T_{CDW}$ to higher values. The isotope effect on $T_{SDW}$ and $T^\ast$ differs markedly: when CDW and SDW are intertwined, a notable isotope effect is observed on $T_{SDW}$, yielding nearly identical isotope shifts for $T_{CDW}$ and $T_{SDW}$, whereas no isotope effect is detected at $T^\ast$, where the SDW transition occurs independently of the CDW.
