摘要:

利用多导电沟道模型,我们重新定义了自旋霍尔磁电阻(SMR)的微观机制。非极化电子流在薄膜样品的上、下、左、右四个界面上的自旋积累产生了四个导电通道,对应于极化电子流相对于外加磁场($\mathbf{H}$)的不同自旋方向的不同电阻状态,最终产生SMR效应.磁绝缘层,如钇铁石榴石(YIG),是不是观察SMR的必要条件。相反,SMR效果是完全实现的,一个数量级的增加,在样品中与隔离的Co $_2$ FeAl(0.3 nm)晶粒的不连续层覆盖的2.5 nm厚的Pt层在MgO衬底上。该模型直观地给出了SMR效应的典型关系式,即$ρ_{\parallel}\approxρ_{\bot}>ρ_{T}$,其中$ρ_{\bot}$、$ρ_{\parallel}$和$ρ_{T}$分别为外加磁场($\mathbf{H}$)方向垂直于电流方向(Z方向)、平行于电流方向(X方向)和垂直于电流方向(Y方向)的纵向电阻率。研究表明,极化和非极化传导电子之间的散射是SMR的起源,当$\mathbf{H}$方向在XZ平面内旋转时,本征SMR不是常数,这与文献报道的SMR机制不同.

英文摘要:

Using a multi-conduction-channel model, we redefined the micromechanism of spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR). Four conduction channels are created by spin accumulation of nonpolarized electron flow at top, bottom, left and right interfaces of the film sample, which corresponds to different resistance states of polarized electron flow with various spin directions relative to the applied magnetic field ($\mathbf{H}$), and brings about the SMR effect finally. The magnetic insulator layer, such as yttrium iron garnet (YIG), is not a requisite for the observation of SMR. Instead, the SMR effect is perfectly realized, with an order of magnitude increase, in the sample with a discontinuous layer of isolated-Co$_2$FeAl (0.3 nm) grains covered by 2.5-nm-thick Pt layer on MgO substrate. The model intuitively gives the typical relationship of SMR effect, i.e. $ρ_{\parallel}\approxρ_{\bot}>ρ_{T}$, where $ρ_{\bot}$, $ρ_{\parallel}$ and $ρ_{T}$ are longitudinal reisitivities with applied magnetic field ($\mathbf{H}$) direction perpendicular to the current direction out of plane (as Z direction), parallel with and perpendicular to it in plane (as X and Y direction), respectively. Our research reveals that the scattering between polarized and nonpolarized conduction electrons is the origin of SMR, and the intrinsic SMR is not constant when $\mathbf{H}$ direction rotates in XZ plane, which is distinct from that in the reported SMR mechanism.
