説明:
(abstract)Localized 5d2 electrons in a cubic crystal field possess multipoles such as electric quadrupoles and magnetic octupoles. We studied the cubic double perovskite Ba2CaOsO6 containing the Os6+ (5d2) ions, which exhibits a phase transition to a ‘hidden order’ below T* ∼ 50 K, by X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) at the Os L2,3 edge. The cubic ligand-field splitting between the t2g and eg levels of Os 5d was deduced by XAS to be ∼4 eV. Ligand-field (LF) multiplet calculation under fictitious strong magnetic fields indicated that the exchange interaction between nearest-neighbor octupoles should be as strong as ∼1.5 meV if a ferrooctupolar order is stabilized in the ‘hidden-ordered’ state, consistent with the exchange interaction of ∼1 meV previously predicted theoretically using model and density functional theory calculations. The temperature dependence of the XMCD spectra was consistent with a ∼18 meV residual cubic splitting of the lowest Jeff = 2 multiplet state into the non-Kramers Eg doublet ground state and the T2g triplet excited state.
