摘要
Iridates abound with interesting magnetic behaviors because of their strong spin-orbit coupling. Sr3NiIrO6 brings together the spin-orbital entanglement of the Ir4+ ion with a 3d Ni cation and a one-dimensional crystal structure. It has a ferrimagnetic ground state with a 55-T coercive field. We perform a theoretical study of the magnetic interactions in this compound, and elucidate the role of anisotropic symmetric exchange as the source of its strong magnetic anisotropy. Our first-principles calculations reproduce the magnon spectra of this compound and predict a signature in the cross sections that can differentiate the anisotropic exchange from single-ion anisotropy.
