英文摘要：

The magnetooptic and magnetic properties of hexagonal arrays of holes in optically thin iron films are presented. We analyze their dependence on the hole radius and compare the results to a continuous iron film of same thickness. We observe a large enhancement of the magnetooptic Kerr rotation with respect to that of the continuous film, at frequecies where surface plasmons excitations are expected. Additional simulations are in very good agreement with the experiment and thus confirm the effect of the surface plasmons on the Kerr rotation. The altering of the magnetic properties by the hole array is also visible in the hysteretic behavior of the sample where a dramatic change is observed.

Quantum states and magnetooptics in n- and p-type heterojunctions with lateral surface quantum dot (antidot) superlattice subjected to perpendicular magnetic field

The studies of quantum states and optics in n- and p-type heterojunctions with lateral surface quantum dot (antidots) superlattice and in the presence of perpendicular magnetic field are performed. The Azbel' - Hofstadter problem is solved for electrons in conduction band and for holes in valence band described by 4x4 Luttinger Hamiltonian. Under the conditions of non-interactive Landau levels the set of magnetic subbands is obtained for separate electron and hole levels in wide interval of magnetic fields. The influence of spin-orbit interaction onto wavefunctions and energy spectrum in hole …

Commensurability Effects in Hexagonal Antidot Lattices with Large Antidot Diameters

The observation of a novel type of commensurability resonance in two-dimensional, hexagonal antidot lattices is reported. These resonances have a classical character and occur at magnetic fields above the resonance that corresponds to the cyclotron motion around a single antidot. The resonances are visible only for antidots with effective diameters larger than 50 % of the lattice constant. Simulations reveal that they originate from quasi-stable electron trajectories that bounce between three neighboring antidots. This interpretation is backed by the observation of large-period Aharonov-Bohm t…

Effect of Hexagonal Boron Nitride on Energy Band Gap of Graphene Antidot Structures

The zero band gap (Eg) graphene becomes narrow Eg semiconductor when graphene is patterned with periodic array of hexagonal shaped antidots, the resultant is the hexagonal Graphene Antidot Lattice (hGAL). Based on the number of atomic chains between antidots, hGALs can be even and odd. The even hGALs (ehGAL) are narrow Eg semiconductors and odd hGALs (ohGAL) are semi-metals. The Eg opening up by hGALs is not sufficient to operate a realistic switching transistor. Also hGAL transistors realized on Si/SiO2 substrate are suffering with low carrier mobility and ON-OFF current ratio. In order to ac…

Band gap engineering in graphene and hexagonal BN antidot lattices: A first principles study

Effects of antidot lattices on electronic structures of graphene and hexagonal BN (h-BN) are investigated using the first principles method based on density functional theory. For graphene, we find that when the antidot lattice is along the zigzag direction, the band gap opening can be related to the inter-valley scattering, and does not follow the simple scaling rule previously proposed in literature for the antidot lattice along the armchair direction. For h-BN, our calculations show that the antidot lattice results in reducing of band gaps. Coupled with doping of carbon atoms, the band gap …

Thermoelectric properties of finite graphene antidot lattices

We present calculations of the electronic and thermal transport properties of graphene antidot lattices with a finite length along the transport direction. The calculations are based on a single orbital tight-binding model and the Brenner potential. We show that both electronic and thermal transport properties converge fast toward the bulk limit with increasing length of the lattice: only a few repetitions (~6) of the fundamental unit cell are required to recover the electronic band gap of the infinite lattice as a transport gap for the finite lattice. We investigate how different antidot shap…

Dimensional crossover and enhanced thermoelectric efficiency due to broken symmetry in graphene antidot lattices

Graphene antidot lattices (GALs) are two-dimensional (2D) monolayers with periodically placed holes in otherwise pristine graphene. We investigate the electronic properties of symmetric and asymmetric GAL structures having hexagonal holes, and show that anisotropic 2D GALs can display a dimensional crossover such that effectively one-dimensional (1D) electronic structures can be realized in two-dimensions around the charge neutrality point. We investigate the transport and thermoelectric properties of these 2D GALs by using non-equilibrium Green function (NEGF) method. Dimensional crossover ma…

Ferrimagnetic nanostructures for magnetic memory bits

Increasing the magnetic data recording density requires reducing the size of the individual memory elements of a recording layer as well as employing magnetic materials with temperature-dependent functionalities. Therefore, it is predicted that the near future of magnetic data storage technology involves a combination of energy-assisted recording on nanometer-scale magnetic media. We present the potential of heat-assisted magnetic recording on a patterned sample; a ferrimagnetic alloy composed of a rare earth and a transition metal, DyCo$_5$, which is grown on a hexagonal-ordered nanohole arra…

Magnetic Order and Symmetry in the 2D Semiconductor CrSBr

The recent discovery of two-dimensional (2D) magnets offers unique opportunities for the experimental exploration of low-dimensional magnetism4 and the magnetic proximity effects, and for the development of novel magnetoelectric, magnetooptic and spintronic devices. These advancements call for 2D materials with diverse magnetic structures as well as effective probes for their magnetic symmetries, which is key to understanding intralayer magnetic order and interlayer magnetic coupling. Here we apply second harmonic generation (SHG), a technique acutely sensitive to symmetry breaking, to probe t…
