Spin-orbit coupling and crystal-field distortions for a low-spin 3d5 state in BaCoO3

Abstract: We have studied the electronic structure of BaCoO3 using soft x-ray absorption spectroscopy at the Co-L2,3 and O-K edges, magnetic circular dichroism at the Co-L2,3 edges, as well as valence band hard x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The quantitative analysis of the spectra established that the Co ions are in the formal low-spin tetravalent 3d 5 state and that the system is a negative charge transfer Mott insulator. The spin-orbit coupling plays also an important role for the magnetism of the system. At the s… Show more

“…11) decreases with increasing valence state of the TM ion 47 . For Co 2+ , it is positive 48,49 ; for Co 3+ , it is close to zero 50 ; and for Co 4+ , it can be negative 27,28,51 . Consequently, the covalency increases, i.e., from rather ionic for Co 2+ , to highly covalent for Co 3+ , and further to Co 4+ , in which the holes mainly reside on the oxygen ligands rather than on the Co 27,28 .…”

“…The Co valence in these two cases can be estimated by constructing a weighted sum of the Li 2 Co 2 O 4 spectrum (blue line) and BaCoO 3 spectrum (cyan line, from Ref. 27 ), as shown in Fig. 2e, f. We find Co 3.2+ and Co 3.4+ valences for these two cases, respectively.…”
