摘要:

本征二维铁磁半导体是克服稀磁半导体在自旋电子学应用中的局限性的一类重要材料。CrSiTe $_3$是这类中特别令人感兴趣的成员,因为它可能被剥离成单层,其中T $_C$预计会显著增加。确定块体材料的磁性性质是理解薄膜样品的磁性行为和这种材料的可能应用的必要前提。在这项工作中,我们使用弹性和非弹性中子散射测量单晶CrSiTe $_3$的磁性。我们发现,有一个非常小的单离子各向异性有利于磁有序沿$c$轴和测得的自旋波拟合模型的时刻只有弱耦合沿该方向。最后,我们发现,静态和动态的相关性持续内的$ab$平面至少300 K,强有力的证据表明,这种材料的二维特性,相关的薄膜和单层样品的未来研究。

英文摘要:

Intrinsic, two-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductors are an important class of materials for overcoming the limitations of dilute magnetic semiconductors for spintronics applications. CrSiTe$_3$ is a particularly interesting member of this class, since it can likely be exfoliated down to single layers, where T$_C$ is predicted to increase dramatically. Establishing the nature of the magnetism in the bulk is a necessary precursor to understanding the magnetic behavior in thin film samples and the possible applications of this material. In this work, we use elastic and inelastic neutron scattering to measure the magnetic properties of single crystalline CrSiTe$_3$. We find that there is a very small single ion anisotropy favoring magnetic ordering along the $c$-axis and that the measured spin waves fit well to a model where the moments are only weakly coupled along that direction. Finally, we find that both static and dynamic correlations persist within the $ab$-plane up to at least 300 K, strong evidence of this material's two-dimensional characteristics that are relevant for future studies on thin film and monolayer samples.
