Anisotropic optical properties of Fe/GaAs(001) nanolayers from first principles

Sebastian Putz, Martin Gmitra, Jaroslav Fabian

摘要:

利用第一性原理计算研究了GaAs(001)衬底上Fe薄膜光学性质的各向异性。通过研究自旋轨道耦合和外部磁场存在下的系统,涵盖了内在和磁化诱导的各向异性。我们使用线性缀加平面波方法,在WIEN 2k密度泛函理论程序中实现,证明了Fe/GaAs(001)界面自旋轨道耦合场的$C_{2v}$对称各向异性表现为相应的光学电导率各向异性和极性磁光克尔效应.虽然它们的磁化诱导各向异性可以忽略不计,但光学性质的固有各向异性是显著的,并且反映了Fe/GaAs(001)界面的潜在$C_{2v}$对称性。这表明,各向异性自旋轨道耦合场的影响,在实验相关的Fe/GaAs(001)板可以通过纯光学手段进行研究。

英文摘要:

We investigate the anisotropy of the optical properties of thin Fe films on GaAs(001) from first-principles calculations. Both intrinsic and magnetization-induced anisotropy are covered by studying the system in the presence of spin-orbit coupling and external magnetic fields. We use the linearized augmented plane wave method, as implemented in the WIEN2k density functional theory code, to show that the $C_{2v}$ symmetric anisotropy of the spin-orbit coupling fields at the Fe/GaAs(001) interface manifests itself in the corresponding anisotropy of the optical conductivity and the polar magneto-optical Kerr effect. While their magnetization-induced anisotropy is negligible, the intrinsic anisotropy of the optical properties is significant and reflects the underlying $C_{2v}$ symmetry of the Fe/GaAs(001) interface. This suggests that the effects of anisotropic spin-orbit coupling fields in experimentally relevant Fe/GaAs(001) slabs can be studied by purely optical means.
