Ab initio determination of an extended Heisenberg Hamiltonian in CuO2 layers

Jiménez Calzado, Carmen; Malrieu, Jean Paul

Abstract

Accurate ab initio calculations on embedded Cu4O12 square clusters, fragments of the La2CuO4 lattice, confirm a value of the nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic coupling (J = 124 meV) previously obtained from ab initio calculations on bicentric clusters and in good agreement with experiment. These calculations predict non negligible antiferromagnetic second-neighbor interaction (J′ = 6.5 meV) and four-spin cyclic exchange (K = 14 meV), which may affect the thermodynamic and spectroscopic properties of these materials. The dependence of the magnetic coupling on local lattice distortions has also been investigated. Among them the best candidate to induce a spin-phonon effect seems to be the movement of the Cu atoms, changing the Cu-Cu distance, for which the variation of the nearest neighbor magnetic coupling with the Cu-O distance is ΔJ/ΔdCu-O ∼ 1700 cm-1 Å-1.

Rega ding he undoped ma e ials, he CuO2laye s, whe e supe conduc i i y akes place a e doping, can be seen as wo-dimensional spin la ices, whe e each Cu a om bea s an unpai ed elec on, which is an i- e omagne ically coupled wi h he nea es -neighbo s(NN). The alue o his NN coupling has been es ima ed om Raman sca e ing 128±6 meV[2, 3] and Neu on di ac ion expe imen s 134±5 meV[4, 5, 6], assuming a simple Heisenbe g Hamil onian, whe e only NN in e ac ions a e conside ed: H=JX <ij>,NN SiSj(J > 0) (1) whe e < ij > ep esen s a pai o NN si es. Howe e , his simple model does no sa is ac o ily ep oduce he whole Raman spec a o undoped cup a es [7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12], and ex ended- Heisenbe g Hamil onians ha e been p oposed [13, 14, 15, 16]. The sophis ica ions in oduce some o he ollowing e ec s: - spin-phonon in e ac ions, - nex -nea es neighbo (NNN) magne ic couplings, J′, and - ou -spin cyclic (4SC) exchange, K. The spin-phonon coupling, i.e. he dependence o he magne ic coupling on he ib a ional dis o ions o he la ice, has been ecen ly in oked as possibly esponsible o he asymme y o he B1gpeak on he Raman spec a o cup a es [13, 17, 18, 19, 20]. The spin-phonon in e ac ion modi ies he magne ic coupling J h ough he dependence o he hopping in eg al ( pd) and he cha ge ans e ene gy (∆CT ) on he Cu-O dis ance [21, 22, 23]. A maximum con ibu ion o ±54 meV o he NN magne ic coupling coming om spin-phonon in e ac ions has been sugges ed [13], based on he linea dependence o Jon he Cu-O dis ance obse ed in he M2CuO4 amily [23] and he spin-wa e app oxima ion. Howe e , he calcula ions explici ly including he phonon- spin in e ac ion, using an adiaba ic app oxima ion o he phonons, [17], equie e un ealis ic alues o diso de o ep oduce he wid h and asymme y o he B1gpeak. I seems necessa y o in oduce addi ional e ms (as NNN coupling and 4SC exchange) o ep oduce he s uc u e o he Raman spec a [13]. The exis ence o he NNN magne ic coupling J′and he 4SC exchange Kcan be es ablished om a one-band Hubba d model [24, 25, 26, 27]. The NNN in e ac ions may be ei he a second o de e ec in o m o ∼ ′2/U, whe e ′is a second-neighbo hopping in eg al and Uis he classical on-si e Coulomb epusion, o ou h-o de e ec s scaling as ∼ 4/U3, whe e is he NN hopping in eg al. The 4SC exchange is a ou h-o de e m in he Hubba d model, in ol ing ci cula ion o he elec ons a ound he squa e and scaling as λ 4/U3, whe e λis a la ge nume ical ac o ( λ=40 [24, 25] o λ=80 [26, 27], depending on he o mal w i ing o he ope a o ), as shown in ea ly wo ks in quan um chemis y [24, 25] and solid s a e physics [26, 27]. Recen expe imen s ha e shown ha ou -spin cyclic exchange exis s in he wo dimensional solid 3He [28, 29, 30], in he 2D Wigne solid o elec ons o med in a Si in e sion laye [31] and in he bcc 3He [32, 33, 34]. As was p e iously shown, oxygen a oms play a c ucial ole in he spin exchange be ween Cu a oms in hese ma e ials [21, 22, 35, 36]. In his con ex , he one-band model is no su icien 2 o bea all he physics o such ma e ials and canno ix he a ios J′/J and K/J. The mul iple pa ame e s con ained in an ex ended Heisenbe g Hamil onian and he spin-phonon coupling canno be uni ocally ixed om he collec i e p ope ies o he ma e ial and, as a as possible, a p ejudiceless e alua ion o hem will be welcome.
