摘要:

在拓扑绝缘体(TI)中,磁与无带隙表面态的相互作用被预言会引起一些奇异的量子现象。然而,TI的有效磁性掺杂在实验上仍然具有挑战性。采用第一性原理计算方法,研究了Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$,Bi $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$和Sb $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$中V,Cr,Mn和Fe的磁掺杂特性.我们发现,对于所有三个TI的阳离子位点的替代掺杂是最积极有利的阴离子丰富的环境作为最佳的生长条件。进一步我们的研究结果表明,在4%的标称掺杂浓度下,Cr和Fe掺杂的Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$、Bi $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$和Cr掺杂的Sb $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$保持为绝缘体,而V、Mn和Fe掺杂的Sb $_{2}$ Te $_{3}$的所有TI变为金属。我们还发现,Cr掺杂Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$的磁相互作用倾向于铁磁,而Fe掺杂Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$的磁相互作用倾向于反铁磁.最后,我们利用蒙特卡罗模拟估算了有希望的铁磁绝缘体(Cr掺杂Bi $_{2}$ Se $_{3}$)的磁耦合和居里温度。这些发现可能为磁感应铁磁的实验研究提供重要的指导。

英文摘要:

Magnetic interaction with the gapless surface states in topological insulator (TI) has been predicted to give rise to a few exotic quantum phenomena. However, the effective magnetic doping of TI is still challenging in experiment. Using first-principles calculations, the magnetic doping properties (V, Cr, Mn and Fe) in three strong TIs (Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$, Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ and Sb$_{2}$Te$_{3}$) are investigated. We find that for all three TIs the cation-site substitutional doping is most energetically favorable with anion-rich environment as the optimal growth condition. Further our results show that under the nominal doping concentration of 4%, Cr and Fe doped Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$, Bi$_{2}$Te$_{3}$, and Cr doped Sb$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ remain as insulator, while all TIs doped with V, Mn and Fe doped Sb$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ become metal. We also show that the magnetic interaction of Cr doped Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ tends to be ferromagnetic, while Fe doped Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$ is likely to be antiferromagnetic. Finally, we estimate the magnetic coupling and the Curie temperature for the promising ferromagnetic insulator (Cr doped Bi$_{2}$Se$_{3}$) by Monte Carlo simulation. These findings may provide important guidance for the magnetism incorporation in TIs experimentally.
