摘要:

巨磁阻(CMR)是指在金属-绝缘体转变附近由磁场引起的电导率的大变化,并且几十年来激发了广泛的研究\cite{Ramirez1997, Tokura2006}。在这里,我们证明了一个类似的自旋效应附近的内尔温度$T_{\rm{N}}$ =296 K的反铁磁绝缘体\CrO。使用钇铁石榴石\YIG / \CrO /Pt三层膜,我们从YIG向\CrO层注入自旋电流,并通过逆自旋霍尔效应收集在重金属Pt中传输的信号。我们观察到在Néel温度的14 K内,透射自旋电流的变化为两个数量级。在等温条件下,这种自旋导电和非导电状态之间的转变也可以通过磁场来调制。这种效应,我们称之为自旋巨磁阻(SCMR),有可能简化基本自旋电子学组件的设计,例如,实现自旋电流开关或基于自旋电流的存储器。

英文摘要:

Colossal magnetoresistance (CMR) refers to a large change in electrical conductivity induced by a magnetic field in the vicinity of a metal-insulator transition and has inspired extensive studies for decades\cite{Ramirez1997, Tokura2006}. Here we demonstrate an analogous spin effect near the Néel temperature $T_{\rm{N}}$=296 K of the antiferromagnetic insulator \CrO. Using a yttrium iron garnet \YIG/\CrO/Pt trilayer, we injected a spin current from the YIG into the \CrO layer, and collected via the inverse spin Hall effect the signal transmitted in the heavy metal Pt. We observed a change by two orders of magnitude in the transmitted spin current within 14 K of the Néel temperature. This transition between spin conducting and nonconducting states could be also modulated by a magnetic field in isothermal conditions. This effect, that we term spin colossal magnetoresistance (SCMR), has the potential to simplify the design of fundamental spintronics components, for instance enabling the realization of spin current switches or spin-current based memories.
