摘要

We provide a detailed derivation of the low-energy model for Zn-diluted La_2CuO_4 in the limit of low doping together with a study of the ground-state properties of that model. We consider Zn-doped La_2CuO_4 within a framework of the three-band Hubbard model, which closely describes high-T_c cuprates on the energy scale of the most relevant atomic orbitals. To obtain the low-energy effective model, we first determine hybridized electronic states of CuO_4 and ZnO_4 plaquettes within the CuO_2 planes. Qualitatively, we find that the hybridization of zinc and oxygen orbitals can result in an impurity state with the energy ε, which is lower than the effective Hubbard gap U. In the limit of the effective hopping integral t <<ε, U, the low-energy, spin-only Hamiltonian includes terms of the order t~2/ U and t~4/ε~3. That is, besides the usual nearest-neighbor superexchange J terms of order t~2/U, the low-energy model contains impurity-mediated, further-neighbor frustrating interactions among the Cu spins surrounding Zn sites in an otherwise unfrustrated antiferromagnetic background. These terms, denoted as J_(Zn)~'and J_(Zn)~", are of order t~4/ε~3 and can be substantial when ε ~ U/2, the latter value corresponding to the realistic CuO_2 parameters. In order to verify this spin-only model, we subsequently apply the 7"-matrix approach to study the effect of impurities on the antiferromagnetic order parameter. Previous theoretical studies, which include only the dilution effect of impurities, show a large discrepancy with experimental data in the doping dependence of the staggered magnetization at low doping. We demonstrate that this discrepancy is eliminated by including impurity-induced frustrations into the effective spin model with realistic CuO_2 parameters. Recent experimental study shows a significantly stronger suppression of spin stiffness in the case of Zn-doped La_2CuO_4 compared to the Mg-doped case and thus gives strong support to our theory. We argue that the proposed impurity-induced frustrations should be important in other strongly correlated oxides and charge-transfer insulators.
