Cu (formally S=1/2) antialigns with Mn (formally S=3/2), and the net spin moment is 9 mu_B consistent with the formal spins. Holes have Cu d_{xy}-O p_{sigma} (i.e. antibonding dpsigma) character with spins aligned antiparallel to the net magnetization; electrons have the opposite spin and have mixed Cu d_{xy} - Mn e_g character. Thermally excited electrons and holes will each be fully spin polarized, but in opposite directions. The properties of this material are strongly tied to the distorted quadruple perovskite structure, which is closely related to the skutterudite structure. The observed resistivity, magnetoresistance, and magnetization are discussed in terms of our results. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0011316 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
