Kinetic frustration and the nature of the magnetic and paramagnetic states in iron pnictides and iron chalcogenides: Supplementary online material

چکیده
We use the combination of density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory (DFT+DMFT) [S1] as implemented in Ref. S2, which is based on the fullpotential linear augmented plane wave method implemented in Wien2K [S3], to carry out our first principles calculations. The electronic charge is computed selfconsistently on DFT+DMFT density matrix. The quantum impurity problem is solved by the continuous time quantum Monte Carlo method [S4, 5], using Slater form of the Coulomb repulsion in its fully rotational invariant form. We use the experimentally determined lattice structures, including the internal positions of the atoms (see Table I), from References S6–20. We use the paramagnetic tetragonal lattice structures, and neglect the weak structural distortions. This distortion has a very small effect on the size of the magnetic moment, proving that the magnetism has electronic rather than structural origin.

Kinetic frustration and the nature of the magnetic and paramagnetic states in iron pnictides and iron chalcogenides.
The iron pnictide and chalcogenide compounds are a subject of intensive investigations owing to their surprisingly high temperature superconductivity. They all share the same basic building blocks, but there is significant variation in their physical properties, such as magnetic ordered moments, effective masses, superconducting gaps and transition temperature (T(c)). Many theoretical technique...
متن کاملMagnetic Properties Controlled by Interstitial or Interlayer Cations in Iron Chalcogenides
By applying density functional theory calculations to iron chalcogenides, we find that magnetic order in Fe1+yTe and magnetic instability at (π, π) in KyFe2Se2 are controlled by interstitial and interlayer cations, respectively. While in Fe1+yTe, magnetic phase transitions occur among collinear, exotic bicollinear and plaquette-ordered antiferronmagnetic states when the height of interstitial i...
متن کاملAntiferroquadrupolar and Ising-nematic orders of a frustrated bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model and implications for the magnetism of FeSe.
Motivated by the properties of the iron chalcogenides, we study the phase diagram of a generalized Heisenberg model with frustrated bilinear-biquadratic interactions on a square lattice. We identify zero-temperature phases with antiferroquadrupolar and Ising-nematic orders. The effects of quantum fluctuations and interlayer couplings are analyzed. We propose the Ising-nematic order as underlyin...
متن کاملQuantum criticality in the iron pnictides and chalcogenides.
Superconductivity in the iron pnictides and chalcogenides arises at the border of antiferromagnetism, which raises the question of the role of quantum criticality. In this topical review, we describe the theoretical work that led to the prediction of a magnetic quantum critical point arising out of a competition between electronic localization and itinerancy, and the proposal for accessing it b...
متن کاملCorrelation effects in the iron pnictides
One of the central questions about the iron pnictides concerns the extent to which their electrons are strongly correlated. Here we address this issue through the phenomenology of the charge transport and dynamics, single-electron excitation spectrum, and magnetic ordering and dynamics. We outline the evidence that the parent compounds, while metallic, have electron interactions that are suffic...
