摘要
长期以来,钚氢化物(PuHx)的磁序一直是实验和理论上存在争议的问题。我们使用哈伯德校正密度泛函理论(DFT + U)研究了 PuHx 的磁性、结构、电子和热力学性质,其中 U 来自线性响应计算。为了解决 DFT + U 中的电子陨变态问题,我们采用了占位矩阵控制方法,并允许 5f 轨道打破结构对称性。这种先进的计算方法确定了 PuH2 的基态磁序是反铁磁的,而 PuH3 的基态磁序是铁磁的,这与法拉第和核磁共振实验相一致。利用 PuHx 的传统氢空位模型,成功地再现了氢含量诱导的磁转变和磁矩的异常变化。特别是,x 的计算转变点与实验结果相吻合。此外,还确定了 PuHx 中 Pu 原子的电子构型为 5f5,这与 X 射线光发射光谱的观测结果一致。我们计算出的形成焓、热容量和熵值与实验数据十分吻合,从而验证了我们理论框架的稳健性。
DFT + U Study of Plutonium Hydrides with Occupation Matrix Control.
The magnetic order of plutonium hydrides (PuHx) has long been a subject of controversy, both experimentally and theoretically. The magnetic, structural, electronic, and thermodynamic properties of PuHx are investigated using Hubbard-corrected density functional theory (DFT + U), with U derived from linear response calculations. To address the issue of electronic metastable states within DFT + U, we employ an occupation matrix control method as well as allowing 5f orbitals to break the structural symmetry. This advanced computational approach establishes that the ground-state magnetic order for PuH2 is antiferromagnetic and that for PuH3 is ferromagnetic, consistent with Faraday and nuclear magnetic resonance experiments. Using the conventional hydrogen-vacancy model for PuHx, the hydrogen-content-induced magnetic transition and anomalous variation of the magnetic moment are successfully reproduced. In particular, the calculated transition point of x matches the experimental findings. Furthermore, the electronic configuration of the Pu atom in PuHx is determined to be 5f5, which is consistent with observations from X-ray photoemission spectroscopy. Our calculated values for enthalpy of formation, heat capacity, and entropy are in good agreement with experimental data, thereby validating the robustness of our theoretical framework.
