Multipole ordering in $$f$$-electron systems

Kubo, Katsunori; Hotta, Takashi

Physica B; Condensed Matter, 378-380, p.1081 - 1082, 2006/05

In order to investigate multipole ordering in $$f$$-electron systems from a microscopic viewpoint, we study the so-called $$Gamma_8$$ models on three kinds of lattices, simple cubic (sc), bcc, and fcc, based on a $$j$$-$$j$$ coupling scheme with $$f$$-electron hopping integrals through $$(ffsigma)$$ bonding. From the $$Gamma_8$$ model, we derive an effective model for each lattice structure by using the second-order perturbation theory with respect to $$(ffsigma)$$. By further applying mean-field theory to the effective model, we find a $$Gamma_{3g}$$ antiferro-quadrupole transition for the sc lattice, a $$Gamma_{2u}$$ antiferro-octupole transition for the bcc lattice, and a longitudinal triple-$$q$$ $$Gamma_{5u}$$ octupole transition for the fcc lattice.

Multipole ordering in $$f$$-electron systems on the basis of a $$j$$-$$j$$ coupling scheme

Kubo, Katsunori; Hotta, Takashi

Physical Review B, 72(14), p.144401_1 - 144401_12, 2005/10

We investigate microscopic aspects of multipole ordering in $$f$$-electron systems with emphasis on the effect of lattice structure. For the purpose, we construct $$f$$-electron models on three kinds of lattices, simple cubic (sc), bcc, and fcc, in a tight-binding approximation on the basis of a $$j$$-$$j$$ coupling scheme. Then, an effective model is derived in the strong-coupling limit for each lattice with the use of second-order perturbation theory with respect to $$(ffsigma)$$. By applying mean-field theory to such effective models, we find multipole ordered states depending on the lattice structure. For the sc lattice, a $$Gamma_{3g}$$ antiferro-quadrupole transition occurs at a finite temperature and at further lowering temperature, we find another transition to a ferromagnetic state. For the bcc lattice, a $$Gamma_{2u}$$ antiferro-octupole ordering occurs first, and then, a ferromagnetic phase transition follows it. Finally, for the fcc lattice, we find a single phase transition to the longitudinal triple-$$q$$ $$Gamma_{5u}$$ octupole ordering.

Analysis of $$f$$-$$p$$ model for octupole ordering in NpO$$_2$$

Kubo, Katsunori; Hotta, Takashi

Physical Review B, 72(13), p.132411_1 - 132411_4, 2005/10

 Times Cited Count:37 Percentile:77.56(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)

In order to examine the origin of octupole ordering in NpO$$_2$$, we propose a microscopic model constituted of neptunium $$5f$$ and oxygen $$2p$$ orbitals. To study multipole ordering, we derive effective multipole interactions from the $$f$$-$$p$$ model by using the fourth-order perturbation theory in terms of $$p$$-$$f$$ hopping integrals. Analyzing the effective model numerically, we find a tendency toward $$Gamma_{5u}$$ antiferro-octupole ordering.

Microscopic theory of multipole ordering in NpO$$_2$$

Kubo, Katsunori; Hotta, Takashi

Physical Review B, 71(14), p.140404_1 - 140404_4, 2005/04

 Times Cited Count:62 Percentile:87.28(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)

In order to examine the mysterious ordered phase of NpO$$_2$$ from a microscopic viewpoint, we investigate an $$f$$-electron model on an fcc lattice constructed based on a $$j$$-$$j$$ coupling scheme. First, an effective model with multipole interactions is derived in the strong-coupling limit. Numerical analysis of the model clearly indicates that the interactions for $$Gamma_{4u}$$ and $$Gamma_{5u}$$ moments are relevant to the ground state. Then, by applying mean-field theory to the simplified model including only such interactions, we conclude that longitudinal triple-$$q$$ $$Gamma_{5u}$$ octupole order is realized in NpO$$_2$$ through the combined effects of multipole interactions and anisotropy of the $$Gamma_{5u}$$ moment.
