Phase diagram of pyrochlore iridates: all-in-all-out magnetic ordering and non-Fermi liquid properties

Abstract

We study the prototype 5d pyrochlore iridate Y2Ir2O7 from first principles using the local density approximation and dynamical mean-field theory (LDA+DMFT). We map out the phase diagram in the space of temperature, onsite Coulomb repulsion U, and filling. Consistent with experiments, we find that an all-in-all-out ordered insulating phase is stable for realistic values of U. The trigonal crystal field enhances the magnetic moments of the jeff=1/2 doublet, and strong inter-band correlations are induced by the Coulomb interaction, which indicates that a three-band description is important. We demonstrate a substantial band narrowing in the paramagnetic metallic phase and non-Fermi liquid behavior in the electron/hole doped system originating from long-lived quasi-spin moments induced by nearly flat bands.
