Phase transition and magnetic structure of pyrochlore oxide Cd2Os2O7
نویسندگان
چکیده
The 5d transition metal oxide Cd2Os2O7 having a pyrochlore lattice of Os atoms exhibits a metal-insulator transition with a magnetic ordering at 227 K, but the magnetic structure in the ordered state and the origin of the transition have not yet been specified. The commensurate magnetic reflection with the propagation vector k = (0, 0, 0) was first observed in the resonant X-ray scattering using a high-quality single crystal. We also clarified the only one kind of magnetic moment via the synchrotron radiation-based Mössbauer effect. We propose that a strong spin-orbit interaction is notably apparent in the spin arrangement and the insulating mechanism in this compound.

Spin-orbit-driven magnetic structure and excitation in the 5d pyrochlore Cd2Os2O7
Much consideration has been given to the role of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in 5d oxides, particularly on the formation of novel electronic states and manifested metal-insulator transitions (MITs). SOC plays a dominant role in 5d(5) iridates (Ir(4+)), undergoing MITs both concurrent (pyrochlores) and separated (perovskites) from the onset of magnetic order. However, the role of SOC for other 5d ...

Cd2Os2O7 crystallizes in the pyrochlore structure and undergoes a metal-insulator transition (MIT) near 226 K. We have characterized the MIT in Cd2Os2O7 using X-ray diffraction, resis-tivity at ambient and high pressure, specific heat, magnetization, thermopower, Hall coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Both single crystals and polycrystalline material were examined. The MIT is accompanied b...

We report the magnetic characterization of the frustrated transition metal pyrochlore NaCaCo2F7. This material has high spin Co in CoF6 octahedra in a pyrochlore lattice, and disordered non-magnetic Na and Ca on the large-atom sites in the structure. Large crystals grown by the floating zone method were studied. The magnetic susceptibility is isotropic, the Co moment is larger than the spin-onl...
