Three dimensional magnetism and coupling to conduction electrons in PdCrO2
arXiv:1111.4015 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.85.134403
Abstract
We report density functional calculations addressing the electronic structure and magnetic properties of delafossite PdCrO2. We find substantial magnetic interactions in the c-axis direction as well as beyond first nearest neighbors in-plane, so that PdCrO2 is a 3D frustrated antiferromagnet. We also find substantial coupling between the Cr moments and the Pd derived conduction electrons.
