  • 基于自旋-轨道-晶格Hamilton量,应用团簇自洽场方法,研究了双层钙钛矿结构材料K3Cu2F7基态的晶格、磁及轨道结构,发现近孤立的双层的对称破缺和Jahn-Teller晶格畸变使得Cu2+离子在每层内交替占据 z2-x2〉/ z2-y2〉轨道,进而导致双层的层间表现为强的反铁磁耦合,层内为弱的铁磁耦合.强反铁磁耦合导致层间

     

    Magnetic, orbital and lattice structures of K3Cu2F7 are determined by cluster self-consistent field approach based on the spin-orbital-lattice Hamiltonian. Symmetry breaking and Jahn-Teller distortion of approximately isolated bilayer cause Cu2+ ions alternatively to occupy  z2-x2〉/ z2-y2〉 orbitals in each layer. This orbital ordering occupation leads to the dominant intrabilayer antiferromagnetic coupling, which favors spin dimerization, and the weak intralayer ferromagnetic coupling. Due to absence of spin frustration resulting from the intralayer orbital arrangement and the weak ferromagnetic coupling satisfing Goodenough-Kanamori-Anderson (GKA)rule, the ground state is a stable spin dimer state. The spin singlet-triplet excitation gap obtained by bond-operator mean field method is about 326 K, which is close to the experimental value of 400 K. The present theory is also applicable to explaining the formation of spin dimer state in Cs3Cu2Cl4Br3.
