摘要:

研究了分子束外延生长的氮化锰薄膜的磁性和磁输运性质。由于铁磁(FI)相(TFI ~ 738 K的$ε$ -相)和反铁磁相(TN ~ 273 K的$ζ$ -相)的混合,我们观察到TN以下非零交换偏置的磁化磁滞回线,在5 K时达到~ 0.22 T。这表明非共线自旋存在于两相之间的界面处,在界面Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya(DM)和交换相互作用之间产生竞争。引人注目的是,除了洛伦兹力引起的正常霍尔效应和磁化引起的反常霍尔效应外,在75 K以下还观察到了新的贡献,即拓扑霍尔效应。这证实了拓扑自旋织构的存在,这是由外加场和温度控制的竞争相互作用的结果。我们的工作表明,自旋电子器件可以利用不同阶段的丰富的磁性制造。

英文摘要:

Magnetic and magneto-transport properties of manganese nitride films grown by molecular beam epitaxy have been investigated. Due to the mixed ferrimagnetic (FI) phase ($ε$-phase with TFI ~ 738 K) and the antiferromagnetic phase ($ζ$-phase with TN ~ 273 K), we observe magnetization hysteresis loops with non-zero exchange bias below TN, reaching ~ 0.22 T at 5 K. This indicates that noncollinear spins exist at the interfaces between two phases, creating a competition between interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) and exchange interactions. Strikingly, in addition to the normal Hall effect by Lorentz force and anomalous Hall effect by magnetization, we observe new contribution namely topological Hall effect below 75 K. This verifies the existence of topological spin texture, which is the consequence of competing interactions controlled by both applied field and temperature. Our work demonstrates that spintronic devices may be fabricated exploiting rich magnetic properties of different phases.
