25 Oct 2013 | Abstract: | KNi$_2$Se$_2$ exhibits an increase of symmetry on cooling below $Tle50$ K,
as observed by Raman spectroscopy and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. X-ray
absorption spectroscopy confirms that the symmetry increase is due to changes
in nickel-nickel interactions and suppression of charge density wave
fluctuations. Density functional theory calculations reveal a zone- boundary
lattice instability that provides a model of the room-temperature x-ray pair
distribution function data, but fails to describe the higher local symmetry
observed for $Tle50$K. Together, these results support many- body correlation
effects as drivers for the unusual heavy fermion electronic ground state in
KNi$_2$Se$_2$. | Source: | arXiv, 1310.6828 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
