自旋冰中的磁荷注入:一种新的碎裂方法
Magnetic charge injection in spin ice: a new way to fragmentation
摘要:
凝聚态物质中的复杂性为新物质状态的发现提供了养分,而挫折感等因素则丰富了新物质状态。磁性系统的例子有Kitaev自旋液体、Skyrmions相或自旋冰。这些非传统的基态支持奇异的激发,例如自旋冰中的磁荷,也称为单极子。除了发现它们之外,一个重要的挑战是能够控制和操纵它们。在这里,我们提出了一种新的机制,通过交错磁场注入单极子的自旋冰。我们从理论上表明,并在实验中证明,在Ho $_2$ Ir $_2$ O $_7$烧绿石铱酸盐,它的结果在一个稳定的晶体,表现出磁性碎片。在这种新的物质状态下,磁矩分裂成一个有序的部分和一个持续波动的部分。与传统的自旋冰相比,在这种分裂状态下的不同性质的激发开辟了新的可调场诱导和动力学行为的道路。
英文摘要:
The complexity embedded in condensed matter fertilizes the discovery of new states of matter, enriched by ingredients like frustration. Illustrating examples in magnetic systems are Kitaev spin liquids, skyrmions phases, or spin ices. These unconventional ground states support exotic excitations, for example the magnetic charges in spin ices, also called monopoles. Beyond their discovery, an important challenge is to be able to control and manipulate them. Here, we propose a new mechanism to inject monopoles in a spin ice through a staggered magnetic field. We show theoretically, and demonstrate experimentally in the Ho$_2$Ir$_2$O$_7$ pyrochlore iridate, that it results in the stabilization of a monopole crystal, which exhibits magnetic fragmentation. In this new state of matter, the magnetic moment fragments into an ordered part and a persistently fluctuating one. Compared to conventional spin ices, the different nature of the excitations in this fragmented state opens the way to novel tunable field-induced and dynamical behaviors.
