We show that the combined effects of spin orbit, monoclinic distortion, and p-d hybridization in tetrahedrally coordinated Fe in LaFeAsO invalidate the naive Hund's rule filling of the Fe d levels. The two highest occupied levels have one electron each, but, as a result of differing p-d hybridizations, the upper level is more itinerant, while electrons in the lower level are more localized. The resulting magnetic moment is highly anisotropic with an in-plane value of 0.25 micro_B-0.35 micro_B per Fe and a z projection of 0.06 micro_B, both of which are in agreement with experiment. 相似文献

Influence of electronic correlations on orbital polarizations in the parent and doped iron pnictides
Orbital polarization and electronic correlation are two essential aspects in understanding the normal-state and superconducting properties of multi-orbital FeAs-based superconductors. In this paper, we present a systematic study on the orbital polarization of iron pnictides from weak to strong Coulomb correlations within the Kotliar-Ruckenstein slave boson approach. The magnetic phase diagram of the two-orbital model for LaFeAsO clearly shows that a striped antiferromagnetic metallic phase with orbital polarization exists over a wide doping range, in addition to the Slater-type insulator, Mott insulator and paramagnetic phases. A reversal of the orbital polarization occurs in the intermediate correlation regime in the absence of the crystal field splitting; however, a small crystal field splitting considerably enhances the orbital polarization, and stabilizes the xz-type orbital order. We argue that the ferro-orbital polarization is characteristic of a density wave, and leads to a pseudogap-like behavior in the density of states. 相似文献

Phase coherence and vortex order in a Josephson-junction array at irrational frustration are studied by extensive Monte Carlo simulations using the parallel-tempering method. A scaling analysis of the correlation length of phase variables in the full equilibrated system shows that the critical temperature vanishes with a power-law divergent correlation length and critical exponent nuph, in agreement with recent results from resistivity scaling analysis. A similar scaling analysis for vortex variables reveals a different critical exponent nuv, suggesting that there are two distinct correlation lengths associated with a decoupled zero-temperature phase transition. 相似文献

The response of the worldwide scientific community to the discovery in 2008 of superconductivity at T c?=?26?K in the Fe-based compound LaFeAsO1?x F x has been very enthusiastic. In short order, other Fe-based superconductors with the same or related crystal structures were discovered with T c up to 56?K. Many experiments were carried out and theories formulated to try to understand the basic properties of these new materials and the mechanism for T c. In this selective critical review of the experimental literature, we distill some of this extensive body of work, and discuss relationships between different types of experiments on these materials with reference to theoretical concepts and models. The experimental normal-state properties are emphasized, and within these the electronic and magnetic properties because of the likelihood of an electronic/magnetic mechanism for superconductivity in these materials. 相似文献

The first-principles electronic structure calculations made substantial contribution to study of high Tc iron-pnictide superconductors. By the calculations, LaFeAsO was first predicted to be an antiferromagnetic semimetal, and the novel bi-collinear antiferromagnetic order was predicted for α-FeTe. Moreover, based on the calculations the underlying mechanism was proposed to be Arsenic-bridged antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction between the next-nearest neighbor Fe moments. In this article, this physical picture is further presented and discussed in association with the elaborate first-principles calculations on LaFePO. The further discussion of origin of the magnetism in iron-pnictides and in connection with superconductivity is presented as well. 相似文献

Recent experiments on iron pnictides have uncovered a large in-plane resistivity anisotropy with a surprising result: The system conducts better in the antiferromagnetic x direction than in the ferromagnetic y direction. We address this problem by calculating the ratio of the Drude weight along the x and y directions, D(x)/D(y), for the mean-field Q=(π,0) magnetic phase diagram of a five-band model for the undoped pnictides. We find that D(x)/D(y) ranges between 0.2相似文献

THz and infrared spectroscopies are widely utilized to investigate the electrodynamic properties of the novel iron-based superconductors in the normal and superconducting states. Besides electronic excitations and correlations, electron-phonon coupling and the influence of magnetism, the experiments yield important information on low-lying excitations and help to clarify the number and symmetry of superconducting gaps. While the experimental data of different groups converge, the interpretation is still under debate. Here we review the status of optical investigations on the superconducting state for the 122 and 11 family of iron pnictides. 相似文献

The temperature dependence of the paramagnetic susceptibility of the iron pnictide superconductor KFe2As2 and its connection with the spectral properties of that material is investigated by a combination of density functional theory (DFT) in the local density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT). Unlike other iron pnictide parent compounds where the typical oxidation state of iron is 2, the formal valence of Fe in KFe2As2 is 2.5, corresponding to an effective doping with 0.5 hole per iron atom compared to, for example, BaFe2As2. This shifts the chemical potential and thereby reduces the distance between the peaks in the spectral functions of KFe2As2 and the Fermi energy as compared to BaFe2As2. The shift, which is clearly seen on the level of DFT as well as in DMFT, is further enhanced by the strong electronic correlations in KFe2As2. In BaFe2As2 the presence of these peaks results (Phys. Rev. B 86, 125124 (2012)) in a temperature increase in the susceptibility up to a maximum at ~1000 K. While the temperature increase was observed experimentally the decrease at even higher temperatures is outside the range of experimental observability. We show that in KFe2As2 the situation is different. Namely, the reduction of the distance between the peaks and the Fermi level due to doping shifts the maximum in the susceptibility to much lower temperatures, such that the decrease in the susceptibility becomes visible in experiment. 相似文献

We report on band-dependent quasiparticle dynamics in the hole-doped Ba-122 pnictides measured by ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy. In the superconducting state of the optimal and over hole-doped samples, we observe two distinct relaxation processes: a fast component whose decay rate increases linearly with excitation density and a slow component whose relaxation is independent of excitation strength. We argue that these two components reflect the recombination of quasiparticles in the two hole bands through intraband and interband processes. We also find that the thermal recombination rate of quasiparticles increases quadratically with temperature in all samples. The temperature and excitation density dependence of the decays indicates fully gapped hole bands and nodal or very anisotropic electron bands. 相似文献

We study the effect of local impurity and the neutron scattering spectrum based on the five-orbital model obtained by the first principle calculation for iron pnictides. We find that the interband impurity scattering is induced by the complex multiorbital structure. This fact means that the fully-gapped sign-reversing s-wave state, which is predicted by spin-fluctuation theories, is very fragile against impurities. The result suggests a reasonable possibility that the fully-gapped s-wave state without sign reversal (s++-wave) would be realized in dirty iron pnictides. We also find that broad peak structure observed in the neutron scattering measurements can be explained by the s++-wave state. 相似文献

We combine universal correlations between Tc and ns/m* (superconducting carrier density/effective mass) found by μSR with the pseudo gap behavior found in the underdoped region
by various techniques to develop a picture for explaining doping dependence of high‐Tc superconductivity in terms of a crossover from Bose–Einstein to BCS condensation. μSR results in overdoped and Zn‐substituted
systems suggest that behavior on the high‐density side is more complicated than expected in a simple BCS model.

Although the parent iron-based pnictides and chalcogenides are itinerant antiferromagnets, the use of local moment picture to understand their magnetic properties is still widespread. We study magnetic Raman scattering from a local moment perspective for various quantum spin models proposed for this new class of superconductors. These models vary greatly in the level of magnetic frustration and show a vastly different two-magnon Raman response. Light scattering by two-magnon excitations thus provides a robust and independent measure of the underlying spin interactions. In accord with other recent experiments, our results indicate that the amount of magnetic frustration in these systems may be small. 相似文献

We show that the interference between scattering by impurities and by critical spin fluctuations gives rise to anisotropic transport in the Ising-nematic state of the iron pnictides. The effect is closely related to the non-Fermi-liquid behavior of the resistivity near an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point. Our theory not only explains the observed sign of the resistivity anisotropy Δρ in electron-doped systems but also predicts a sign change of Δρ upon sufficient hole doping. Furthermore, our model naturally addresses the changes in Δρ upon sample annealing and alkaline-earth substitution. 相似文献

We study the geometrical frustration scenario of glass formation for simple hard-sphere models. We find that the dual picture in terms of defects brings little insight and no theoretical simplification for the understanding of the slowing down of relaxation, because of the strong frustration characterizing these systems. The possibility of a growing static length is furthermore found to be physically irrelevant in the regime that is accessible to computer simulations. 相似文献

We investigated the in-plane optical spectrum of a Co-doped Ba(Fe0.94Co0.06)2As2 single crystal showing superconductivity below . In the normal state, the low-energy optical conductivity spectrum can be decomposed into a sharp Drude term and a broad “incoherent” term. Below Tc, an s-wave-like superconducting gap appears in both components. We also investigated a magnetic or spin-density-wave gap in the detwinned parent compound. 相似文献

We investigate multiband Hubbard models for the three iron 3d t(2g) bands and the two iron 3d e(g) bands in LaOFeAs by means of the Gutzwiller variational theory. Our analysis of the paramagnetic ground state shows that neither Hartree-Fock mean-field theories nor effective spin models describe these systems adequately. In contrast to Hartree-Fock-type approaches, the Gutzwiller theory predicts that antiferromagnetic order requires substantial values of the local Hund's-rule exchange interaction. For the three-band model, the antiferromagnetic moment fits experimental data for a broad range of interaction parameters. However, for the more appropriate five-band model, the iron e(g) electrons polarize the t(2g) electrons and they substantially contribute to the ordered moment. 相似文献

Polarised neutron scattering with polarisation analysis has been used to obtain a unique measurement of the paramagnetic fluctuations in iron at temperatures between 1273 and 1573 K. The results clearly demonstrate almost complete ferromagnetic correlation over distances up to 15 Å. The average moment per atom taking part in the correlation and giving rise to paramagnetic scattering is about 1.3μB. These findings should lead to a better understanding of paramagnetism in metals. 相似文献

A one to one map is established between the magnetic-hysteresis-loop (MHL) measurements and the magnetization relaxation measurements performed at the same external field, noticeably keeping no uncertainties of such factors as the microscopic attempt frequency v 0 and the hopping distance l hop for pinned flux motion. By utilizing this map, we are able to construct and extend the magnetization relaxation data from the corresponding reported MHL measurements. The present algorithm proves to be reliable and simple for investigations of the U(J) behavior and relaxation effects. 相似文献
