RKKY interactions of CeB6 based on effective Wannier model

We examine the RKKY interactions of CeB$_6$ between multipole moments based on the effective Wannier model obtained from the bandstructure calculation including 14 Ce-$f$ orbitals and 60 conduction orbitals of Ce-$d,s$ and B-$p,s$. By using the $f$-$c$ mixing matrix elements of the Wannier model together with the conduction band dispersion, the multipole couplings with the RKKY oscillation are obtained for the active moments in $Γ_{8}$ subspace. Both of the $Γ_{5g}$ quadrupole $O_{xy}$ and the $Γ_{2u}$ octupole $T_{xyz}$ couplings are largely enhanced with $\bm{q}=(π,π,π)$ which naturally explains the antiferro-quadrupolar phase of the phase II, and are also enhanced with $\bm{q}=(0,0,0)$ corresponding to the elastic softening of $C_{44}$. Also the couplings of the $Γ_{5u}$ octupole $T_{z}^β$ is quite large for $\bm{q}=(0,0,π)$ which is related to the antiferro-octupolar ordering of a possible candidate for the phase IV of Ce$_{x}$La$_{1-x}$B$_6$.

Derivation of RKKY Interaction between Multipole Moments in CeB$_6$ by the Effective Wannier Model based on the Bandstructure Calculation

We have investigated the electronic states of CeB$_6$ and have directly calculated the RKKY interaction on the basis of the 74-orbital effective Wannier model which includes 14 Ce-$f$ orbitals and 60 conduction ($c$) orbitals of Ce-$d,s$ and B-$p,s$ derived from the density-functional theory bandstructure calculation. By using not only the $c$-band dispersion but also the $f$-$c$ mixing matrix elements of the Wannier model, the realistic couplings for all 15 active multipole moments in $Γ_8$ quartet subspace are obtained in the wavevector $q$-space and real-space. Both of the $Γ_{5g}$ quadrupoles $(O_{yz},O_{zx},O_{xy})$ and the $Γ_{2u}$ octupole $T_{xyz}$ couplings are maximally enhanced with $q=(π,π,π)$ which naturally explains the phase II of the antiferro-quadrupolar ordering at $T_{Q}=3.2$ K, and are also enhanced with $q=(0,0,0)$ corresponding to the elastic softening of $C_{44}$. Also the couplings of the $Γ_{5u}$ octupoles $T_{x}^β$, $T_{y}^β$ and $T_{z}^β$ are quite large for $q=(π,0,0)$, $(0,π,0)$ and $(0,0,π)$, which yields the antiferro-octupolar ordering of a possible candidate for phase IV of Ce$_{x}$La$_{1-x}$B$_6$. The intersite vector dependence of the RKKY couplings exhibit different long-range, oscillating, isotropic and anisotropic behaviors depending on the types of the multipole moments. The present approach enables us to provide the information about the possible multipole ordering in an unbiased way and is easily available for other localized $f$ electron materials once the $c$ states and $f$-$c$ mixing elements are given from the bandstructure calculation.

Theoretical study on the variation of ordering vector in Ce(Pd$_{1-x}$M$_x$)$_2$Al$_3$ (M$=${Ag, Cu})

In heavy-fermion compounds, the crossover from the localized to itinerant heavy-fermion state is observed with lowering temperature, frequently accompanied by magnetism. Ordering vectors of magnetism often vary with applying pressure or with substituting atoms. In Ce(Pd$_{1-x}$M$_x$)$_2$Al$_3$ with $\mathrm{M}=\mathrm{Ag,Cu}$, the $(0,0,1/2)$-antiferromagnetic (AF), ferromagnetic (F), and another AF orders are observed for $x<0.05$, $0.1 0.5$ is considered to be $(1/2,0,1/2)$.

Lattice Distortion to Stabilize the Spin-Peierls State in CeRu2Al10

We propose a relevant lattice distortion to stabilize the spin-Peierls state in CeRu2Al10, compatible with the 27Al-NQR spectra and the neutron diffraction patterns on the assumption that Al atoms at Al(1) to Al(4) sites displace toward their respective neighboring Ce ions below T0 = 27 K, leaving Ce, Ru, and Al at Al(5) immobile. Due to a resulting regular lattice distortion the assembly of one-dimensional spin-Peierls order on each zigzag chain along the c-axis predicted by the author becomes a three-dimensional order with Q = (0, 0, 1), where bonds connecting dimerized pair of Ce ions form an antiferro ordering in a body-centered structure.
