Title: Nonequivalent Spin Exchanges of the Hexagonal Spin Lattice Affecting the Low-Temperature Magnetic Properties of RInO 3 (R = Gd, Tb, Dy): Importance of Spin–Orbit Coupling for Spin Exchanges between Rare-Earth Cations with Nonzero Orbital Moments

Abstract

Here, rare-earth indium oxides RInO 3 (R = Gd, Tb, Dy) consist of spin-frustrated hexagonal spin lattices made up of rare-earth ions R 3+, where R 3+ = Gd 3+ (f 7, L = 0), Tb 3+ (f 8, L = 3), and Dy 3+ (f 9, L = 5). We carried out DFT calculations for RInO 3, including on-site repulsion U with/without spin–orbit coupling (SOC), to explore if their low-temperature magnetic properties are related to the two nonequivalent nearest-neighbor (NN) spin exchanges of their hexagonal spin lattices. Our DFT + U + SOC calculations predict that the orbital moments of the Tb 3+ and Dy 3+ ions are smaller than their free-ion values by ~2μ B while the Tb 3+ spins have an inplane magnetic anisotropy, in agreement with the experiments. This suggests that the f orbitals of each R 3+ (R = Tb, Dy) ion are engaged, though weakly, in bonding with the surrounding ligand atoms. The magnetic properties of GdInO 3 with the zero orbital moment are adequately described by the spin exchanges extracted by DFT + U calculations. In describing the magnetic properties of TbInO 3 and DyInO 3 with nonzero orbital moments, however, the spinmore » exchanges extracted by DFT + U + SOC calculations are necessary.« less
