摘要:

磁阻是材料的电阻响应于所施加的磁场的变化。除了其内在的科学利益,它是一个技术上重要的属性,将其置于研究价值的“巴斯德象限”:具有大磁阻的材料已被用作磁传感器1,磁存储器2,硬盘驱动器3,晶体管4,并且是自旋电子学领域经常研究的主题5,6。在这里,我们报告了一个非常大的一维正磁阻(XMR)在层状过渡金属二硫属化物(TMD)WTe 2的观察; 452,700%,在4.5开尔文的磁场为14.7特斯拉,和250万%,在0.4开尔文在45特斯拉,没有饱和。XMR是高度各向异性的,在晶体学方向上最大化,其中在电子结构中发现空穴和电子的小口袋。确定这种效应的起源以及基于WTe 2的XMR的纳米结构和器件的制造将代表磁阻效应研究和应用的一个重要新方向。* 该论文的出版版本包括共同作者Tian Liang和Max Hirschberger。** 这篇论文已经发表了60 T的新MR数据,其中WTe 2的MR达到1300万%(0.5K),并且仍然没有显示出饱和的迹象。在较低的温度(10 K)下,我们也得到了新的电子衍射花样。我们讨论了MR的可能起源,因为它来自于由完美的n/p比1建立的电子-空穴“共振”条件(更多细节在新的“扩展数据”部分)。这使得WTe 2可能是第一个实现完美平衡的半金属。* 该论文发表于Nature(2014),DOI:10.1038/nature 13763,标题为“Large non-saturating magnetoresistance in WTe 2”。

英文摘要:

Magnetoresistance is the change of a material's electrical resistance in response to an applied magnetic field. In addition to its intrinsic scientific interest, it is a technologically important property, placing it in "Pasteur's quadrant" of research value: materials with large magnetorsistance have found use as magnetic sensors 1, in magnetic memory 2, hard drives 3, transistors 4, and are the subject of frequent study in the field of spintronics 5, 6. Here we report the observation of an extremely large one-dimensional positive magnetoresistance (XMR) in the layered transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) WTe2; 452,700 percent at 4.5 Kelvin in a magnetic field of 14.7 Tesla, and 2.5 million percent at 0.4 Kelvin in 45 Tesla, with no saturation. The XMR is highly anisotropic, maximized in the crystallographic direction where small pockets of holes and electrons are found in the electronic structure. The determination of the origin of this effect and the fabrication of nanostructures and devices based on the XMR of WTe2 will represent a significant new direction in the study and uses of magnetoresistivity. *The published version of the paper includes co-authors Tian Liang and Max Hirschberger. **This paper has been published with new MR data to 60T where the MR of WTe2 reaches 13 million percent (at 0.5K) and still shows no signs of saturation. We also have new electron diffraction patterns to lower temperature (10K). We discuss the possible origin of the MR as coming from an electron-hole 'resonance' condition established by a perfect n/p ratio of 1 (more details in a new "extended data" section). This makes WTe2, possibly, the first realization of a perfectly balanced semimetal. ***The paper is published as "Large non-saturating magnetoresistance in WTe2" in Nature (2014), DOI:10.1038/nature13763
