Electron correlation and spin density wave order in iron pnictides.
We study the correlation effects on the electronic structure, orbital and spin density wave (SDW) order in Fe pnictides. Using the multiorbital Hubbard model and Gutzwiller projection, we show that correlation effects are essential to stabilize the metallic SDW phase for the intermediate correlation strengths appropriate for pnictides. We find that the ordered moments depend sensitively on Hund...
متن کاملOrbital-independent superconducting gaps in iron pnictides.
The origin of superconductivity in the iron pnictides has been attributed to antiferromagnetic spin ordering that occurs in close combination with a structural transition, but there are also proposals that link superconductivity to orbital ordering. We used bulk-sensitive laser angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on BaFe(2)(As(0.65)P(0.35))(2) and Ba(0.6)K(0.4)Fe(2)As(2) to elucidate the ...
متن کاملFerro-orbital order and strong magnetic anisotropy in the parent compounds of iron-pnictide superconductors.
The puzzling nature of magnetic and lattice phase transitions of iron pnictides is investigated via a first-principles Wannier function analysis of representative parent compound LaOFeAs. A rare ferro-orbital ordering is found to give rise to the recently observed highly anisotropic magnetic coupling, and drive both phase transitions--without resorting to widely employed frustration or nesting ...
متن کاملLow magnetization and anisotropy in the antiferromagnetic state of undoped iron pnictides.
We examine the magnetic phase diagram of iron pnictides using a five-band model. For the intermediate values of the interaction expected to hold in the iron pnictides, we find a metallic low moment state characterized by antiparallel orbital magnetic moments. The anisotropy of the interorbital hopping amplitudes is the key to understanding this low moment state. This state accounts for the smal...
متن کاملOrbital Selective Spin Excitations and their Impact on Superconductivity of LiFe_{1-x}Co_{x}As.
We use neutron scattering to study spin excitations in single crystals of LiFe_{0.88}Co_{0.12}As, which is located near the boundary of the superconducting phase of LiFe_{1-x}Co_{x}As and exhibits non-Fermi-liquid behavior indicative of a quantum critical point. By comparing spin excitations of LiFe_{0.88}Co_{0.12}As with a combined density functional theory and dynamical mean field theory calc...
