Neutron diffraction has been used to determine the magnetic structure of Na8Cu5O10, a stoichiometric compound containing chains based on edge-sharing CuO4 plaquettes. The chains are doped with 2/5 hole per Cu site and exhibit long-range commensurate charge order with an onset well above room temperature. Below TN=23 K, the neutron data indicate long-range collinear magnetic order with a spin-density modulation whose propagation vector is commensurate along, and incommensurate perpendicular to, the chains. Competing interchain exchange interactions are discussed as a possible origin of the incommensurate magnetic order. 相似文献

A quantum magnet, LiCuSbO4, with chains of edge-sharing spin-1/2 CuO6 octahedra is reported. While short-range order is observed for T<10 K, no zero-field phase transition or spin freezing occurs down to 100 mK. Specific heat indicates a distinct high-field phase near the 12 T saturation field. Neutron scattering shows incommensurate spin correlations with q=(0.47±0.01)π/a and places an upper limit of 70 μeV on any spin gap. Exact diagonalization of 16-spin easy-plane spin-1/2 chains with competing ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions (J1=-75 K, J2=34 K) accounts for the T>2 K data. 相似文献

The magnetic and electronic properties of the geometrically frustrated triangular antiferromagnet CuCrO2 are investigated by first principles through density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approximations (GGA)+U scheme. The spin exchange interactions up to the third nearest neighbours in the ab plane as well as the coupling between adjacent layers are calculated to examine the magnetism and spin frustration. It is found that CuCrO2 has a natural two-dimensional characteristic of the magnetic interaction. Using Monte-Carlo simulation, we obtain the Neel temperature to be 29.9 K, which accords well with the experimental value of 24 K. Based on non-collinear magnetic structure calculations, we verify that the incommensurate spiral-spin structure with (110) spiral plane is believable for the magnetic ground state, which is consistent with the experimental observations. Due to intra-layer geometric spin frustration, parallel helical-spin chains arise along the a, b, or a + b directions, each with a screw-rotation angle of about 120°. Our calculations of the density of states show that the spin frustration plays an important role in the change of d-p hybridization, while the spin-orbit coupling has a very limited influence on the electronic structure. 相似文献

Using spin density functional theory, we study the electronic and magnetic properties of atomically thin, suspended chains containing silver and oxygen atoms in an alternating sequence. Chains longer than 4 atoms develop a half-metallic ground state implying fully spin-polarized charge carriers. The conductances of the chains exhibit weak even-odd oscillations around an anomalously low value of 0.1G0 (G0=2e2/h) which coincide with the averaged experimental conductance in the long chain limit. The unusual conductance properties are explained in terms of a resonating-chain model, which takes the reflection probability and phase shift of a single bulk-chain interface as the only input. The model also explains the conductance oscillations for other metallic chains. 相似文献

Based on resonant soft x-ray magnetic scattering, we report that LiCu2O2 exhibits a large interchain coupling which suppresses quantum fluctuations along spin chains, and a quasi-2D short-range magnetic order prevails at temperatures above the magnetic transition. These observations unravel the fact that the ground state of LiCu2O2 possesses long-range 2D-like incommensurate magnetic order rather than being a gapped spin liquid as expected from the nature of quantum spin-1/2 chains. In addition, the spin coupling along the c axis is found to be essential for inducing electric polarization. 相似文献

The effect of antiferromagnetic interchain coupling in alternating spin
chains is studied by means of spin wave (SW) theory and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). Two limiting cases are investigated, the two-leg ladder and its two-dimensional (2D) generalization. For the 2D case, SW approximation predicts a smooth-dimensional crossover keeping the ground state ordered, whereas in the ladder case the DMRG results show a gapped ground state for any J>0. Furthermore, the behavior of the correlation functions closely resemble the uniform spin-
ladder. However, for small J, the gap behaves quadratically as Δ0.6J2. Similarly to uniform spin chains, it is conjectured an analogous spin gap behavior for an arbitrary number of mixed spin chains. 相似文献

In quasi-one-dimensional(q1D) quantum antiferromagnets, the complicated interplay of intrachain and interchain exchange couplings may give rise to rich phenomena. Motivated by recent progress on field-induced phase transitions in the q1D antiferromagnetic(AFM) compound YbAlO_3, we study the phase diagram of spin-1/2 Heisenberg chains with Ising anisotropic interchain couplings under a longitudinal magnetic field via large-scale quantum Monte Carlo simulations,and investigate the role of the spin anisotropy of the interchain coupling on the ground state of the system. We find that the Ising anisotropy of the interchain coupling can significantly enhance the longitudinal spin correlations and drive the system to an incommensurate AFM phase at intermediate magnetic fields, which is understood as a longitudinal spin density wave(LSDW). With increasing field, the ground state changes to a canted AFM order with transverse spin correlations. We further provide a global phase diagram showing how the competition between the LSDW and the canted AFM states is tuned by the Ising anisotropy of the interchain coupling. 相似文献

Starting from the t-J model, we derive the effective field theory describing the spin dynamics in insulating La(2-x)Sr(x)CuO(4), x approximately < 0.055, at low temperature. The theory results in a disordered spiral ground state, in which the staggered component of the copper spins is confined in a plane determined by the spin anisotropies. The static spin structure factor obtained in our calculations is in perfect agreement with neutron scattering data over the whole range of doping in both, the Néel and the spin-glass phase. We show that topological defects (spin vortex-antivortex pairs) are an intrinsic property of the disordered spiral ground state. 相似文献

Based on first-principles vector spin-density total-energy calculations of the magnetic and electronic structure of Cr and Mn transition-metal monolayers on the triangular lattice of a (111) oriented Cu surface, we propose for Mn a three-dimensional noncollinear spin structure on a two-dimensional triangular lattice as magnetic ground state. This new spin structure is a multiple spin-density wave of three row-wise antiferromagnetic spin states and comes about due to magnetic interactions beyond the nearest neighbors and due to higher order spin interactions (i.e., four spin). The magnetic ground state of Cr is a coplanar noncollinear periodic 120 degrees Néel structure. 相似文献

Using polarized neutron scattering we establish that the magnetic order in La(1.48)Nd(0.4)Sr(0.12)CuO(4) is either (i) one dimensionally modulated and collinear, consistent with the stripe model or (ii) two dimensionally modulated with a novel noncollinear structure. The measurements rule out a number of alternative models characterized by 2D electronic order or 1D helical spin order. The low-energy spin excitations are found to be primarily transversely polarized relative to the stripe ordered state, consistent with conventional spin waves. 相似文献

Neutron diffraction and bulk measurements are used to determine the nature of the low-temperature ordered state in LiCu2O2, a S=1/2 spin-chain compound with competing interactions. The spin structure is found to be helimagnetic, with a propagation vector (0.5,zeta,0), zeta=0.174. The nearest-neighbor exchange constant and frustration ratio are estimated to be J(1)=5.8 meV and J(2)/J(1)=0.29, respectively. For idealized quantum spin chains, these parameter values would signify a gapped spin-liquid ground state with commensurate spin correlations. The observed temperature dependence of the magnetic propagation vector in LiCu2O2 is attributed to a competition between incommensurate helimagnetism in the classical spin model and commensurability in the quantum case. It is also proposed that long-range ordering in LiCu2O2 is facilitated by intrinsic nonstoichiometry. 相似文献

We investigate the interplay of bonding and magnetism in CuO by a first-principles self-interaction-free density-functional approach. Our analysis reveals that, at variance with typical low-dimensional cuprates, a fully three-dimensional view of the exchange interactions is needed to describe accurately the magnetic ground state and low-energy excitations in CuO. The apparent one-dimensional behavior of antiferromagnetic order is due to the presence of a single spin-polarized hole of d(z)2 character. This induces a strongly anisotropic magnetic ordering built up by ferromagnetic (x,y) layers, and antiferromagnetic chains along z, with exchange interactions of similar magnitude. 相似文献

First-principles calculations have been performed for the study of the electronic band structure and ferromagnetic properties of double perovskite Ca2CrSbO6. The density of states, total energy, spin magnetic moment, and charge density were calculated and analyzed in details. It is found that Ca2CrSbO6 has a stable ferromagnetic ground state and the spin magnetic moment per molecule is about 2.99#B. The chromium contributes the most in the total magnetic moments. The results indicate that Ca2CrSbO6 is half-metallic. 相似文献

Using infrared spectroscopy, we show that spin self-organization in untwinned La2-xSrxCuO4 (LSCO) crystals has profound consequences for the dynamical conductivity sigma(omega). The electronic response of CuO2 planes acquires significant anisotropy in the spin ordered state with enhancement of the conductivity along the direction of the diagonal spin stripes by up to a factor of 2. An examination of the anisotropic response indicates that the diagonal spin texture in weakly doped LSCO is also accompanied by the modulation of charge density. The electronic response of the charge stripes is found to be gapless consistent with the hypothesis of the metallic ground state. Our experiments directly show that the striped ordered systems reveal new degrees of freedom not present in ordinary one-dimensional conductors. 相似文献

The interchain resistivity of PrBa(2)Cu(4)O(8) has been measured in high magnetic fields up to 30 T. Co-herent interchain transport at low temperatures is destroyed by a large magnetic field applied perpendicular to the CuO chains. Comparisons with quasiclassical transport theory provide strong experimental support for a three-dimensional Fermi-liquid ground state in PrBa(2)Cu(4)O(8), despite extreme anisotropy in its electronic properties and the presence of strong electron correlations. 相似文献

First-principles calculations have been performed to study the electronic structure, the metallic and magnetic properties of Cu(2,5-dmpz)Cl2. The calculations are based on the density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) and the full-potential-linearized-augmented plane wave (FPLAPW) method. The total energy, magnetic moment, density of states (DOS) and electronic band structure are calculated. The results reveal that the compound has a stable semiconductive antiferromagnetic (AFM) ground state and a semiconductive ferromagnetic (FM) metastable state, which is in good agreement with the experimental results. Based on the spin distribution and the DOS, it is found that the spin magnetic moment is mainly from the Cu2+, and with relative small contribution from Cl, N atoms. 相似文献
