反常霍尔铁磁体中的电荷感生自旋力矩

Charge-Induced Spin Torque in Anomalous Hall Ferromagnets

Kentaro Nomura, Daichi Kurebayashi

摘要:

我们证明了当化学势在磁场中被调制时,在没有电流流动的情况下,磁掺杂系统中的自旋轨道耦合电子对局部磁化强度施加自旋力矩。自旋矩与反常霍尔电导率成正比,其有效场强可克服塞曼场。利用这种效应,通过薄膜中的栅极控制来切换局部磁化的方向。与传统的电流感应自旋-轨道转矩相比,该电荷感应自旋转矩基本上是平衡效应,因此,使用该操作原理的器件可能具有比传统器件更高的效率。除了一个全面的唯象推导,我们提出了一个物理理解的基础上的一个Dirac-Weyl半金属,可能实现在一个磁掺杂的拓扑绝缘体的模型。这种效应也可能在纳米过渡材料、复合氧化物铁磁体和稀磁半导体中实现。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate that spin-orbit coupled electrons in a magnetically doped system exert a spin torque on the local magnetization, without a flowing current, when the chemical potential is modulated in a magnetic field. The spin torque is proportional to the anomalous Hall conductivity, and its effective field strength may overcome the Zeeman field. Using this effect, the direction of the local magnetization is switched by gate control in a thin film. This charge-induced spin torque is essentially an equilibrium effect, in contrast to the conventional current-induced spin-orbit torque, and, thus, devices using this operating principle possibly have higher efficiency than the conventional ones. In addition to a comprehensive phenomenological derivation, we present a physical understanding based on a model of a Dirac-Weyl semimetal, possibly realized in a magnetically doped topological insulator. The effect might be realized also in nanoscale transition materials, complex oxide ferromagnets, and dilute magnetic semiconductors.
