非磁性带绝缘体界面处的高自旋极化导电态:LaAlO3/FeS2(001)

Highly spin-polarized conducting state at the interface between non-magnetic band insulators: LaAlO3/FeS2 (001)

摘要:

第一性原理密度泛函计算表明,自旋极化的二维导电态可以实现在两个非磁性带绝缘体之间的界面。抗磁性绝缘体FeS2(黄铁矿)的(001)表面支持来自导带底附近的Fe d轨道的局域表面态。极性钙钛矿氧化物LaAlO3的几个晶胞的沉积导致电子转移到这些表面带中,从而产生导电界面。这些窄带的占用导致自旋子带之间的交换分裂,从而产生与非磁性绝缘体的其余部分不同的高度自旋极化的导电状态。这样的界面为自旋电子学的应用提供了有趣的可能性。

英文摘要:

First-principles density functional calculations demonstrate that a spin-polarized two-dimensional conducting state can be realized at the interface between two non-magnetic band insulators. The (001) surface of the diamagnetic insulator FeS2 (pyrite) supports a localized surface state deriving from Fe d-orbitals near the conduction band minimum. The deposition of a few unit cells of the polar perovskite oxide LaAlO3 leads to electron transfer into these surface bands, thereby creating a conducting interface. The occupation of these narrow bands leads to an exchange splitting between the spin sub-bands, yielding a highly spin-polarized conducting state distinct from the rest of the non-magnetic, insulating bulk. Such an interface presents intriguing possibilities for spintronics applications.
