一维铁磁体和反铁磁体中隧穿电子对自旋波的激发

Excitation of spin waves by tunnelling electrons in one-dimensional ferro and anti-ferromagnets

J. P. Gauyacq, N. Lorente

摘要:

采用海森堡-哈密顿描述的磁耦合和强耦合的非弹性隧穿方法,研究了STM针尖隧穿电子对吸附在表面上的磁性原子链的激发.磁能级的激发几率很高,不同长度的链的激发谱非常相似。有限链中的激发可以看作是在有限物体中量子化的自旋波。由有限长链上的结果确定了理想无限长链中隧穿电子激发的自旋波的能量谱和动量谱。铁磁和反铁磁耦合被认为是,导致非常不同的结果。特别是,在反铁磁的情况下,链接到链的基态的纠缠的激发被证明。

英文摘要:

Excitation of finite chains of magnetic atoms adsorbed on a surface by tunnelling electrons from an STM (Scanning Tunnelling Microscope) tip is studied using a Heisenberg Hamiltonian description of the magnetic couplings along the chain and a strong coupling approach of inelastic tunnelling. The excitation probability of the magnetic levels is very high and the excitation spectra in chains of different lengths are very similar. The excitations in finite chains can be considered as spin waves quantized in the finite object. The energy and momentum spectra of the spin waves excited in the idealized infinite chain by tunnelling electrons are determined from the results on the finite chains. Both ferro- and antiferromagnetic couplings are considered, leading to very different results. In particular, in the anti-ferromagnetic case, excitations linked to the entanglement of the chain ground state are evidenced.
