L-Edge X-ray Absorption Spectroscopic Investigation of {FeNO} 6 : Delocalization vs Antiferromagnetic Coupling
NO is a classic non-innocent ligand, and iron nitrosyls can have different electronic structure descriptions depending on their spin state and coordination environment. These highly covalent ligands are found in metalloproteins and are also used as models for Fe–O 2 systems. Here, this study utilizes iron L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), interpreted using a valence bond configuration interaction multiplet model, to directly experimentally probe the electronic structure of the S = 0 {FeNO} 6 compound [Fe(PaPy 3 )NO] 2+ (PaPy 3 = N,N-bis(2-pyridylmethyl)amine-N-ethyl-2-pyridine-2-carboxamide) and the S = 0 [Fe(PaPy 3 )CO] + reference compound. This method allows separation of the σ-donation and π-acceptor interactions of the ligand through ligand-to-metal and metal-to-ligand charge-transfer mixing pathways. The analysis shows that the {FeNO} 6 electronic structure is best described as Fe III –NO(neutral), with no localized electron in an NO π* orbital or electron hole in an Fe dπ orbital. This delocalization comes from the large energy gap between the Fe–NO π-bonding and antibonding molecular orbitals relative to the exchange interactions between electrons in these orbitals. This study demonstrates the utility of L-edge XAS in experimentally defining highly delocalized electronic structures.

Ubiquitous long-range antiferromagnetic coupling across the interface between superconducting and ferromagnetic oxides
The so-called proximity effect is the manifestation, across an interface, of the systematic competition between magnetic order and superconductivity. This phenomenon has been well documented and understood for conventional superconductors coupled with metallic ferromagnets; however it is still less known for oxide materials, where much higher critical temperatures are offered by copper oxide-based superconductors. In this paper, we show that, even in the absence of direct Cu–O–Mn covalent bonding, the interfacial CuO 2 planes of superconducting La 1.85 Sr 0.15 CuO 4 thin films develop weak ferromagnetism associated to the charge transfer of spin-polarised electrons from the La 0.66 Sr 0.33 MnO 3 ferromagnet. Theoretical modelling confirms that this effect is general to all cuprate/manganite heterostructures and the presence of direct bonding only affects the strength of the coupling. Finally, the Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction, also at the origin of the weak ferromagnetism of bulk cuprates, propagates the magnetisation from the interface CuO 2 planes into the superconductor, eventually depressing its critical temperature.
Publisher Correction: Strongly-coupled quantum critical point in an all-in-all-out antiferromagnet
The original PDF version of the Article contained an error in the last sentence of the author affiliation information, which incorrectly read ‘Correspondence and requests for materials should be addressed to T.$.R. (e-mail: tfr@caltech.edu) or to Y.F. (e-mail: yejun@oist.jp)’. The correct version states ‘T.F.R.’ in place of “T.$.R.’. This has been corrected in the PDF version of the Article. The HTML version was correct from the time of publication.
Van Hove singularity in the magnon spectrum of the antiferromagnetic quantum honeycomb lattice
In quantum magnets, magnetic moments fluctuate heavily and are strongly entangled with each other, a fundamental distinction from classical magnetism. Here, with inelastic neutron scattering measurements, we probe the spin correlations of the honeycomb lattice quantum magnet YbCl 3 . A linear spin wave theory with a single Heisenberg interaction on the honeycomb lattice, including both transverse and longitudinal channels of the neutron response, reproduces all of the key features in the spectrum. In particular, we identify a Van Hove singularity, a clearly observable sharp feature within a continuum response. The demonstration of such a Van Hove singularity in a two-magnon continuum is important as a confirmation of broadly held notions of continua in quantum magnetism and additionally because analogous features in two-spinon continua could be used to distinguish quantum spin liquids from merely disordered systems. These results establish YbCl 3 as a benchmark material for quantum magnetism on the honeycomb lattice.
Decay and renormalization of a longitudinal mode in a quasi-two-dimensional antiferromagnet
Abstract An ongoing challenge in the study of quantum materials, is to reveal and explain collective quantum effects in spin systems where interactions between different modes types are important. Here we approach this problem through a combined experimental and theoretical study of interacting transverse and longitudinal modes in an easy-plane quantum magnet near a continuous quantum phase transition. Our inelastic neutron scattering measurements of Ba 2 FeSi 2 O 7 reveal the emergence, decay, and renormalization of a longitudinal mode throughout the Brillouin zone. The decay of the longitudinal mode is particularly pronounced at the zone center. To account for the many-body effects of the interacting low-energy modes in anisotropic magnets, we generalize the standard spin-wave theory. The measured mode decay and renormalization is reproduced by including all one-loop corrections. The theoretical framework developed here is broadly applicable to quantum magnets with more than one type of low energy mode.
