摘要

近年来, 极性磁体M₂Mo₃O₈ (M: 3d过渡金属)因其独特的晶体结构、多重连续的磁电耦合态转变及潜在应用价值, 成为凝聚态物理和材料科学领域的研究热点. 特别是Co₂Mo₃O₈基态下展现出显著的二阶非线性磁电耦合效应, 对应独特的磁电耦合微观机制和实际应用价值. 本文基于分子场唯象模型, 构建了Co₂Mo₃O₈体系的两套不同的反铁磁子格子, 给出体系的自发磁矩、自旋诱导的铁电极化、一阶线性磁电耦合系数以及二阶非线性磁电耦合系数随温度的变化关系. 结果显示Co₂Mo₃O₈的二阶磁电耦合系数要明显比同构的Fe₂Mo₃O₈以及Mn₂Mo₃O₈大, 这主要是因为Co₂Mo₃O₈的两个不同子格子间的反铁磁交换作用能量更低, 体系所处的状态更加稳定. 这也表明, Co₂Mo₃O₈体系拥有更加稳定的不可逆性, 展现了非常明显的磁电二极管效应, 为磁电二极管的发展提供了坚实的理论和实验基础.

Abstract

In recent years, polar magnets M₂Mo₃O₈ (M: 3d transition metal) have emerged as a research focus in condensed matter physics and materials science due to their unique crystal structures, multiple continuous magnetoelectric-coupled state transitions, and potential applications. Notably, Co₂Mo₃O₈ exhibits a significant second-order nonlinear magnetoelectric coupling effect in its ground state, corresponding to a unique microscopic magnetoelectric coupling mechanism and practical value. In this work, based on a molecular field phenomenological model, two distinct antiferromagnetic sublattices for the Co₂Mo₃O₈ system constructed and the temperature-dependent variations of its spontaneous magnetic moment, spin-induced ferroelectric polarization, first-order linear magnetoelectric coupling coefficient, and second-order nonlinear magnetoelectric coupling coefficient are presented. Particularly, the parameters t = –1 and o = –0.96 indicate distinct exchange energies between the magnetic sublattices associated with tetrahedron (Co_t) and octahedron (Co_o). The Co²⁺ ions in these two sublattices, which are characterized by different molecular field coefficients, synergistically mediate a spin-induced spontaneous polarization of P_S ~ 0.12 μC/cm² through the exchange striction mechanism and p-d hybridization mechanism in Co₂Mo₃O₈. In addition, the significant second-order magnetoelectric coupling effect with a coefficient peaking at 7 × 10^–18 s/A near the T_N in Co₂Mo₃O₈, with this coefficient being significantly larger than those of isostructural Fe₂Mo₃O₈ (1.81 × 10^–28 s/A) and Mn₂Mo₃O₈, implies that this enhancement primarily arises from the weaker inter-sublattice antiferromagnetic exchange between its two sublattices, leading to a stabilizes metastable spin configuration. This also indicates that the Co₂Mo₃O₈ system possesses stronger irreversibility stability and exhibits a pronounced magnetoelectric diode effect, providing a solid theoretical and computational foundation for developing magnetoelectric diodes.
