Site specific spin dynamics in BaFe2As2: tuning the ground state by orbital differentiation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The role of orbital differentiation on the emergence of superconductivity in the Fe-based superconductors remains an open question to the scientific community. In this investigation, we employ a suitable microscopic spin probe technique, namely Electron Spin Resonance (ESR), to investigate this issue on selected chemically substituted BaFe2As2 single crystals. As the spin-density wave (SDW) phase is suppressed, we observe a clear increase of the Fe 3d bands anisotropy along with their localization at the FeAs plane. Such an increase of the planar orbital content is interestingly independent of the chemical substitution responsible for suppressing the SDW phase. As a consequence, the magnetic fluctuations in combination with this particular symmetry of the Fe 3d bands are propitious ingredients for the emergence of superconductivity in this class of materials.

Adaptive Control of a Spin-Stabilized Spacecraft Using two Reaction Wheels and a 1DoF Gimbaled-Thruster
In impulsive orbital maneuvers, a large disturbance torque is generated by the thrust vector misalignment from the center of mass (C.M). The purpose of this paper is to reject the mentioned disturbance and stabilize the spacecraft attitude, based on the combination of a one degree of freedom (1DoF) gimbaled-thruster, two reaction wheels (RWs) and spin-stabilization. In this paper, the disturban...
متن کاملTransient Spin Density Wave Order Induced in the Normal State of BaFe2As2 by Coherent Lattice Oscillations
We trace the ultrafast dynamics of the spin density wave gap of the pnictide system BaFe2As2 probing resonantly with broadband multi-terahertz pulses. The photoexcitation in the low-temperature ground state leads to a fast suppression of the spin order followed by a slower recovery process. Surprisingly, in the normal state, we observe periodic oscillations of the spin density wave feature at a...

This paper presents symmetry classes of the Hartree-Fock (HF) solutions of spin and orbital ordered states in a t2g Hubbard model on a two-dimensional square lattice. Using a group theoretical bifurcation theory of the Hartree-Fock equation, we obtained many types of broken symmetry solutions which bifurcate from the normal state through one step transition in cases of commensurate ordering vec...

Since the discovery of the metallic antiferromagnetic (AF) ground state near superconductivity in iron pnictide superconductors1–3, a central question has been whether magnetism in these materials arises from weakly correlated electrons4,5, as in the case of spin density wave in pure chromium6, requires strong electron correlations7, or can even be described in terms of localized electrons8,9 s...
متن کاملMagnetic and orbital correlations in a two-site molecule
We analyze the role of orbital degeneracy in possible magnetic and orbital instabilities by solving exactly a two-site molecule with two orbitals of either eg or t2g symmetry at quarter-filling. As a generic feature of both models one finds that the spin and orbital correlations have opposite signs in the low temperature regime when the orbitals are degenerate, in agreement with the Goodenough-...
