Magnetism out of antisite disorder in the compound
Abstract
Here, we systematically investigate the magnetic properties and local structure of Ba2YIrO6 to demonstrate that Y and Ir lattice defects in the form of antiphase boundary or clusters of antisite disorder affect the magnetism observed in this 5d4 compound. The experimental investigation involved comparison of the magnetic properties and atomic imaging of (1) a slow-cooled crystal, (2) a crystal quenched from 900°C after growth, and (3) a crystal grown using a faster cooling rate during growth than the slow-cooled one. Atomic-scale imaging by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) shows that quenching from 900°C introduces Ir-rich antiphase boundaries in the crystals, and a faster cooling rate during crystal growth leads to clusters of Y and Ir antisite disorder. Compared to the slow-cooled crystals, Ba2YIrO6 crystals with clusters of antisite defects have a larger effective moment and a larger saturation moment, while quenched crystals with Ir-rich antiphase boundary show a slightly suppressed moment. Our DFT and model magnetic Hamiltonian calculations suggest magnetic condensation is unlikely, as the energy to be gained from superexchange is small compared to the spin-orbit gap. However, once Y is replaced by Ir in the antisite disordered region, the picture of local nonmagnetic singlets breaks down and magnetismmore »

Our DFT and model magnetic Hamiltonian calculations suggest magnetic condensation is unlikely, as the energy to be gained from superexchange is small compared to the spin-orbit gap. However, once Y is replaced by Ir in the antisite disordered region, the picture of local nonmagnetic singlets breaks down and magnetism can be induced. This is because of (a) enhanced interactions due to increased orbital overlap and (b) increased number of orbitals mediating the interactions. Our work highlights the importance of lattice defects in understanding the experimentally observed magnetism in Ba2YIrO6 and other J = 0 systems.},
