Anomalous Hall effect from frustration-tuned scalar chirality distribution in Pr2Ir2O7

Abstract:
We study the anomalous Hall effect due to noncoplanar magnetism on a pyrochlore structure. We focus on the frustration-induced spatial inhomogeneity of different magnetic low-temperature regimes, between which one can efficiently tune using an external magnetic field. We incorporate nonmagnetic scattering on a phenomenological level so that we can distinguish between the effects of short-range correlations and short-range coherence. We obtain a Hall conductivity (σ(H)) as a function of field strength and direction which compares well to the experimental data of Pr(2)Ir(2)O(7). In particular, we show that the observed peak in σ(H) for H[parallel][111] signals the crossover from zero-field spin ice to kagome ice.

Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
