在Ga(Mn)As中,$\rm{Mn^{2+}}$周围的局域晶格畸变引起了面内单轴磁各向异性

Local lattice distortions around $\rm{Mn^{2+}}$ cause in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy in Ga(Mn)As

Hemachander Subramanian, J. E. Han

摘要:

我们从理论上研究了$\rm{Mn^{2+}}$离子杂质周围的局域晶格畸变与离子的磁极化之间的相互作用,通过空穴的自旋轨道耦合来介导。我们发现,周围的$\rm{Mn^{2+}}$离子杂质的四面体对称性自发打破,即使在顺磁制度。杂质$\rm{Mn^{2+}}$离子周围的适度局部晶格畸变以及生长应变在铁磁区中使磁化沿$< 110 >$方向稳定。我们解释了实验观察到的平面内单轴磁各向异性,在这个系统中使用这个破环机制。

英文摘要:

We theoretically investigate the interplay between local lattice distortions around $\rm{Mn^{2+}}$ ion impurity and the ion's magnetic polarization, mediated through spin-orbit coupling of hole. We show that the tetrahedral symmetry around $\rm{Mn^{2+}}$ ion impurity is spontaneously broken even in the paramagnetic regime. Modest local lattice distortions around the impurity $\rm{Mn^{2+}}$ ion, along with the growth strain, stabilize magnetization along $< 110 >$ directions, in the ferromagnetic regime. We explain the experimentally observed in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy seen in this system using this symmetry-breaking mechanism.
