反铁磁金属中自旋转移矩的第一性原理

Spin-transfer torques in anti-ferromagnetic metals from first principles

Yuan Xu, Shuai Wang, Ke Xia

摘要:

尽管不存在宏观磁矩,反铁磁体在原子尺度上是自旋极化的。通过导电反铁磁体的电流也被极化,当序参量被纹理化时,例如在反铁磁非共线自旋阀和畴壁中,导致自旋转移力矩。本文报道了反铁磁体系电子输运性质的第一性原理研究。作用在磁矩上的电流感应自旋力矩与传统铁磁材料中的自旋力矩相当,从而产生可测量的角电阻和电流感应磁化动力学。与铁磁体相反,反铁磁体中的自旋力矩是非常非局域的。作用在远离反铁磁畴壁中心处的转矩应有助于电流诱导的畴壁运动。

英文摘要:

In spite of the absence of a macroscopic magnetic moment, an anti-ferromagnet is spin-polarized on an atomic scale. The electric current passing through a conducting anti-ferromagnet is polarized as well, leading to spin-transfer torques when the order parameter is textured, such as in anti-ferromagnetic non-collinear spin valves and domain walls. We report a first principles study on the electronic transport properties of anti-ferromagnetic systems. The current-induced spin torques acting on the magnetic moments are comparable with those in conventional ferromagnetic materials, leading to measurable angular resistances and current-induced magnetization dynamics. In contrast to ferromagnets, spin torques in anti-ferromagnets are very nonlocal. The torques acting far away from the center of an anti-ferromagnetic domain wall should facilitate current-induced domain wall motion.
