Pressure-Induced Split of the Density Wave Transitions in La_3Ni_2O_7-δ
arxiv(2024)
摘要
The unveiling of superconductivity in La_3Ni_2O_7-δ under
pressure, following the suppression of a high-temperature density wave (DW)
state, has attracted considerable attention. Notably, the nature of this
competing DW order remains elusive, presenting a crucial question that demands
further investigation. Here, we employ the muon-spin rotation/relaxation
(μSR) technique combined with dipole-field numerical analysis to probe the
magnetic response of La_3Ni_2O_7-δ as a function of hydrostatic
pressure. At ambient pressure, μSR experiments reveal commensurate static
magnetic order below T_ N≃ 151K. The comparison of the observed
internal magnetic fields with dipole-field calculations reveals the magnetic
structure's compatibility with a stripe-type arrangement of Ni moments
(≃0.3-0.7μ_ B), characterized by alternating lines of magnetic
moments and non-magnetic stripes. Experiments under pressure (up to
p≃2.3 GPa) demonstrate an increase of the magnetic ordering temperature
at a rate dT_ N/ dp≃ 2.8 K/GPa. This trend is opposite
in sign and significantly smaller in magnitude compared to the changes observed
in the DW order of unknown origin reported by Wang et al. [arXiv:2309.17378].
Our findings reveal that the ground state of the La_3Ni_2O_7-δ
system is characterized by the coexistence of two distinct orders – the spin
density wave and, most likely, charge density wave – with a notable
pressure-induced separation between them.
