The outcome of the density functional theory (DFT) technique within the supercell's framework of La2CuO4 (LCO) are reported. We evaluatedlocal dipolar fields of muon's position inside LCO assuming dipolar interaction is occurred by varying the supercell's size. We found out that the field on proposed muon's trapping positions were known to be not affected so much by supercell's size and still fairly larger than the experimental data. Our results suggest that the inclusion of quantum effects of implanted muon and the electronic spin are required to explain experimental data.
Here we report spin-alignment contributions to muon coordinate calculated utilizing density functional theory (DFT) calculation. We estimated four different antiferromagnetic (AF) spin alignments in La2CuO4. We observed small changes by adjusting spin configurations in DFT calculations. Cu-spin value of 0.61 µB is constant in all calculations. The insulating gap of 1.9 eV is unchanged in all configurations. Muon coordinate was defined as the most minimum energy in atomic potential distribution. By assuming that Cu-spin is a point dipole for each atom, internal fields for muon were calculated and compared to known experimental results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
