摘要:

用硬X射线磁散射成像技术研究了铁电单畴BiFeO_3单晶表面的磁畴。已经观察到尺寸达数百微米的磁畴,对应于沿波矢k=2π(δ,δ,0)和对称等效方向的磁化的摆线调制。旋转方向的磁化在所有磁畴,由圆偏振光的衍射确定,被认为是唯一的,并与预测的组合方法的基础上补充相对论密度泛函模拟的自旋模型。表面的成像显示,最大的相邻区域显示120度的涡旋结构。

英文摘要:

Magnetic domains at the surface of a ferroelectric monodomain BiFeO3 single crystal have been imaged by hard X-ray magnetic scattering. Magnetic domains up to several hundred microns in size have been observed, corresponding to cycloidal modulations of the magnetization along the wave-vector k=2π(δ,δ,0) and symmetry equivalent directions. The rotation direction of the magnetization in all magnetic domains, determined by diffraction of circularly polarized light, was found to be unique and in agreement with predictions of a combined approach based on a spin-model complemented by relativistic density-functional simulations. Imaging of the surface shows that the largest adjacent domains display a 120 degree vortex structure.
