Effective model and spin/charge ordering in molecular conductors X[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$

ORAL

Abstract

The family of molecular conductors, $\beta$'-type X[Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ (X: monovalent cation) salts, show a variety of electronic states: dimer-type Mott insulator, magnetic order, spin-liquid behavior, metallic/superconducting states, and a peculiar charge ordering involving multi-orbitals[1]. In this work, we construct an effective low-energy model which takes into account the multi-orbital degree of freedom. We consider fragments of molecular orbital as a basis set, nearly localized on either one of the dmit ligands. The transfer integrals are obtained for a series of salts by fitting to the first-principles band calculations[2]. We find that all the intra-dimer transfer integrals including the diagonal ones are of the same order; this results in a modification of the orbital scheme in strongly dimerized [Pd(dmit)$_2$]$_2$ discussed in the literatures, then to the effective one-band model. We calculate possible spin and charge ordering based on mean-field approximation to the extended Hubbard model incorporating the fitted parameters. [1] R. Kato, Chem. Rev. 104 (2004) 5319; K.
