摘要:

电子关联和费米面与多个嵌套矢量的组合可以导致复杂的多Q磁基态的出现,托管不寻常的状态,如手征密度波和量子霍尔绝缘体。然而,区分单Q和多Q磁相位是一个众所周知的困难的实验问题。在这里,我们提出理论上的局域态密度附近的磁性杂质,其方向可以控制的外部磁场,可以用来映射出详细的巡回系统的磁位形和明确区分单Q和多Q相位。我们证明了这一概念,通过计算和对比的LDOS附近的磁性杂质嵌入在三个不同的磁基态相关的铁基超导体-一个单Q和两个双Q相。我们的研究结果打开了一个有前途的途径,通过标准的扫描隧道光谱研究在巡回系统中的复杂的磁配置,而不需要自旋分辨能力。

英文摘要:

The combination of electronic correlations and Fermi surfaces with multiple nesting vectors can lead to the appearance of complex multi-Q magnetic ground states, hosting unusual states such as chiral density-waves and quantum Hall insulators. Distinguishing single-Q and multi-Q magnetic phases is however a notoriously difficult experimental problem. Here we propose theoretically that the local density of states near a magnetic impurity, whose orientation may be controlled by an external magnetic field, can be used to map out the detailed magnetic configuration of an itinerant system and distinguish unambiguously between single-Q and multi-Q phases. We demonstrate this concept by computing and contrasting the LDOS near a magnetic impurity embedded in three different magnetic ground states relevant to iron-based superconductors -- one single-Q and two double-Q phases. Our results open a promising avenue to investigate complex magnetic configurations in itinerant systems via standard scanning tunneling spectroscopy, without requiring spin-resolved capability.
