Role of single-ion anisotropy in Fe3+-based frustrated magnets — •Alexander A. Tsirlin — EP VI, EKM, University of Augsburg, Germany

Transition-metal ions with the half-filled d-shell and the high-spin d5 electronic configuration are magnetically nearly isotropic. Here, using density-functional calculations juxtaposed with the experimental data from thermodynamic measurements and neutron diffraction, I will argue that such d5 ions still feature a non-negligible single-ion anisotropy that prevails over intersite anisotropy terms and drives multiple magnetic transitions in frustrated magnets based on Fe3+. The talk will cover Fe-based pyroxene compounds, where frustrated interchain interactions trigger a collinear spin-density-wave phase separating the ground-state helical order from the paramagnetic state. I will further report the sequence of magnetic transitions in the Cairo antiferromagnet Bi4Fe5O13F, where competing single-ion anisotropies introduce two flavors of orthogonal order separated by a collinear phase. Despite their small size, typically less than 1% of the isotropic exchange couplings, the single-ion terms play pivotal role for the magnetically ordered states of Fe3+ compounds.
