Electronic phase separation in the pyrochlore double-exchange model

Abstract: Electronic phase separation and related inhomogeneity is ubiquitously seen in strongly-correlated systems. A typical example is found between ferromagnetic metal and antiferromagnetic insulator in CMR manganese oxides. Here we demonstrate that the geometrical frustration brings distinctive aspects into the phase separation phenomena. From Monte Carlo simulation and a simple energy comparison for the pyrochlore double-exchange model, we show that such phase separation takes place between ferromagnetic and param… Show more

“…23 From a local point of view, bond-randomness is accepted to be the origin of glassiness in Y 2 Mo 2 O 7 , 24 the principal source of disorder arising from Y-Mo rather than Mo-Mo pairs. 25 However, more recent works 22,[26][27][28][29] suggest that a complicated interplay between spin and orbital degrees of freedom 30 on the basis of a Kugel-Khomskii mechanism 31 may be crucial in determining the overall magnetic properties of pyrochlore molybdates. In particular, on the basis of a multi-orbital Hubbard model, Shinaoka et al 29 conclude that Y 2 Mo 2 O 7 should be considered as the realization of a "spin-orbital frustrated Mott insulator " rather than a conventional frustrated magnet.…”

“…For a large Hund coupling, it is known that a metallic ferromagnetic (FM) phase up to a filling ν ∼ 0.8, followed by a tendency towards an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state with semiconducting or insulating properties. 25,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33] Another issue that has been thoroughly discussed in the context of manganites is the presence of an instability towards phase separation.…”

“…However, due to frustrated behavior of the system, the transition toward antiferromagnetism is also suppressed. Then, it is expected that various instabilities in spin as well as charge sectors may occur, as in the case of the pyrochlore systems where magnetic phase competitions accompany metal-insulator as well as metal-metal transitions [3].…”

“…One of such example is the extended double-exchange model defined on a pyrochlore lattice [1,2,3]. The model has been introduced to investigate ferromagnetic to spin-glass transitions and metalinsulator transitions in Mo pyrochlore oxides R 2 Mo 2 O 7 [4,5], where such phase transitions are driven by interplay between magnetism and transports in these strongly correlated electron systems.…”
