Role of Vanadium-Oxide Layer in Electronic State of Sr_2VFeAsO_3-δ with Oxygen Deficiency
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Iron-based superconductor Sr_2VFeAsO_3 is composed of alternate stacking
of a superconducting FeAs layer and an insulating vanadium-oxide layer with a
perovskite-type structure. Electronic orders stemming from the spin and orbital
degrees of freedom of V 3d electrons can arise in the vanadium-oxide layer,
but such orders have not been confirmed so far. Here, we systematically
investigate the electronic state of Sr_2VFeAsO_3-δ with oxygen
deficiency and demonstrate the phase diagram of Sr_2VFeAsO_3-δ as a
function of the c-axis lattice parameter, which has turned out to be a
suitable measure of the amount of oxygen deficiency. We found a magnetic and
structural anomaly at ∼ 100 K with a thermal hysteresis, which is
manifested with the introduction of oxygen deficiency. The presence of
orthorhombic distortion was revealed below the temperature at which the anomaly
appears, suggestive of V orbital ordering involving the d_xz and d_yz
orbitals. It seems that substantial fluctuations associated with the
orthorhombic distortion significantly influence the electronic state of the
FeAs layer. Our findings indicate that the vanadium-oxide layer plays a
significant role in the electronic state of Sr_2VFeAsO_3-δ.
