Spin, orbital, and charge order at the interface between correlated oxides.

چکیده
The collective behavior of correlated electrons in the VO2 interface layer of the LaVO(3)/SrTiO(3) heterostructure is studied within a quarter-filled t(2g)-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice. We argue that the ground state is ferromagnetic, driven by the double-exchange mechanism, and is orbitally and charge ordered due to a confined geometry and electron correlations. The orbital and charge density waves open gaps on the entire Fermi surfaces of all orbitals. The theory explains the observed insulating behavior of the p-type interface between LaVO3 and SrTiO3.

Tuning the entanglement between orbital reconstruction and charge transfer at a film surface
The interplay between orbital, charge, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom is at the core of correlated oxides. This is extensively studied at the interface of heterostructures constituted of two-layer or multilayer oxide films. Here, we demonstrate the interactions between orbital reconstruction and charge transfer in the surface regime of ultrathin (La,Sr)MnO3, which is a model system of cor...
متن کاملObservation of momentum-resolved charge fluctuations proximate to the charge-order phase using resonant inelastic x-ray scattering
In strongly correlated electron systems, enhanced fluctuations in the proximity of the ordered states of electronic degrees of freedom often induce anomalous electronic properties such as unconventional superconductivity. While spin fluctuations in the energy-momentum space have been studied widely using inelastic neutron scattering, other degrees of freedom, i.e., charge and orbital, have hard...
متن کاملStudy of entropic characteristics of strongly correlated systems using VO2 as a model case.
To explain the huge caloric effects often observed in the first-order electronic phase transition in the strongly correlated oxides, the entropic characteristics are investigated in VO2. By evaluating the spin and charge fluctuations based on the local moment model and the Sommerfeld coefficient in the high-temperature rutile phase, it is found that these fluctuations of the high-temperature ph...
متن کاملMagnetization States of All-Oxide Spin Valves Controlled by Charge-orbital Ordering of Coupled Ferromagnets
Charge-orbital ordering is commonly present in complex transition metal oxides and offers interesting opportunities for novel electronic devices. In this work, we demonstrate for the first time that the magnetization states of the spin valve can be directly manipulated by charge-orbital ordering. We investigate the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two epitaxial magnetite layers separa...
متن کاملCharge order at the frontier between the molecular and solid states in Ba3NaRu2O9.
We show that the valence electrons of Ba3NaRu2O9, which has a quasimolecular structure, completely crystallize below 210 K. Using an extended Hubbard model, we show that the charge ordering instability results from long-range Coulomb interactions. However, orbital ordering, metal-metal bonding, and formation of a partial spin gap enforce the magnitude of the charge separation. The striped charg...
