Hund's coupling driven nature of magnetism in negative charge transfer material, $\mathrm{SrCoO_3}$
Abstract
In this work, we investigate the microscopic origin of magnetism in by incorporating electronic correlations within the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) framework. We note a remarkable agreement of the calculated magnetic observables ( saturation magnetization 2.4 ; magnetic transition temperature, 350 K) with the experimental results. The system exhibits Hund's coupling-induced strong quasiparticle mass enhancements of upto 7 for Co 3 states, with the largest renormalization occurring in the majority spin orbitals, marking the onset of orbital-selectivity. Our results reveal a Stoner- collapse of exchange splitting that drives the loss of long-range ferromagnetic order at . The breakdown of Fermi-liquid behavior down to 100 K suggests a suppressed coherence scale. Local magnetic moment originates from a mixed-spin configuration formed through dynamical fluctuation between intermediate-spin and high-spin states. Large charge fluctuations (N0.6) together with heavy quasiparticles establish the correlation effects regime, governed predominantly by Hund's physics in .
