Competing Lattice Instability and Magnetism on the Surface of Kagome Metals
arXiv:2308.08771 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.195428
Abstract
Only a few magnetic kagome materials exhibit lattice instabilities among the large kagome material array. In this work, we find that kagome magnets MnSn ( = rare-earth elements) and their non-magnetic counterparts VSn exhibit intriguing interplay between magnetism and lattice dynamics on their surfaces. Notably, VSn surfaces terminated by kagome layers demonstrate pronounced lattice instabilities, manifesting as and surface charge orders (SCOs). These instabilities are absent on corresponding magnetic materials MnSn. Here, the SCO is suppressed by magnetism. Otherwise, surface distortions would significantly reduce the spin polarization, elevating the energy via Hund's rule. Thus, SCOs are energetically unfavorable on magnetic surfaces. The competition of magnetism and lattice instability is further substantiated by observing SCOs on V-substituted MnSn kagome surfaces, contrasting with their absence on Mn-substituted VSn surfaces. Our findings reveal unexpected surface instability and profound spin-lattice coupling in these kagome magnets, highlighting the complex dynamics hidden within magnetic materials.
