铁磁(Ga,Mn)As中的自旋波理论

Theory of spin waves in ferromagnetic (Ga,Mn)As

Agnieszka Werpachowska, Tomasz Dietl

摘要:

在稀磁半导体中自旋的集体行为由它们的相互作用决定,并受底层晶体结构的影响。因此,我们开始与原子量子力学描述这个系统使用建议的变分微扰演算,然后转向新兴的宏观图像采用唯象常数。在这个框架内,我们研究自旋波和交换刚度的p-d齐纳模型的(Ga,Mn)As,它的薄层和大块晶体所描述的spds* 紧束缚近似。分析交换的各向异性部分,我们发现,Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用可能会导致摆线自旋排列和单轴面内各向异性的薄层,导致在较厚的膜表面的各向异性。我们还推导并讨论了自旋波对磁化强度和居里温度的贡献。我们的理论重建的值的刚度确定的磁化强度的温度依赖性,但再现只有部分从分析(Ga,Mn)As薄膜的旋进模式。

英文摘要:

The collective behavior of spins in a dilute magnetic semiconductor is determined by their mutual interactions and influenced by the underlying crystal structure. Hence, we begin with the atomic quantum-mechanical description of this system using the proposed variational-perturbation calculus, and then turn to the emerging macroscopic picture employing phenomenological constants. Within this framework we study spin waves and exchange stiffness in the p-d Zener model of (Ga,Mn)As, its thin layers and bulk crystals described by the spds* tight-binding approximation. Analyzing the anisotropic part of exchange, we find that the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction may lead to the cycloidal spin arrangement and uniaxial in-plane anisotropy in thin layers, resulting in a surface-like anisotropy in thicker films. We also derive and discuss the spin-wave contribution to magnetization and Curie temperature. Our theory reconstructs the values of stiffness determined from the temperature dependence of magnetization, but reproduces only partly those obtained from analyzing precession modes in (Ga,Mn)As thin films.
