摘要:

这项工作表明,显着修改的自旋动力学的磁性绝缘体(MI)的自旋动量锁定狄拉克表面状态的相邻的拓扑绝缘体(TI),可以利用自旋电子学应用。当Bi浓度x在5 nm厚的(BixSb 1-x)2 Te 3 TI膜中被系统地调谐时,当化学势接近狄拉克点时,表面相对于体态的权重在x = 0.32处达到峰值。在该浓度下,MI/TI异质结构中10 nm厚的Y3 Fe 5 O 12 MI膜旋进磁化强度的吉尔伯特阻尼常数提高了一个数量级,是所有浓度中最大的。此外,MI获得额外的强磁各向异性,有利于面内取向与类似的Bi浓度依赖性。狄拉克表面态的这些非凡效应使TI在调制相邻磁性层的自旋动力学方面区别于其他材料,例如重金属。

英文摘要:

This work demonstrates dramatically modified spin dynamics of magnetic insulator (MI) by the spin-momentum locked Dirac surface states of the adjacent topological insulator (TI) which can be harnessed for spintronic applications. As the Bi-concentration x is systematically tuned in 5 nm thick (BixSb1-x)2Te3 TI film, the weight of the surface relative to bulk states peaks at x = 0.32 when the chemical potential approaches the Dirac point. At this concentration, the Gilbert damping constant of the precessing magnetization in 10 nm thick Y3Fe5O12 MI film in the MI/TI heterostructures is enhanced by an order of magnitude, the largest among all concentrations. In addition, the MI acquires additional strong magnetic anisotropy that favors the in-plane orientation with similar Bi-concentration dependence. These extraordinary effects of the Dirac surface states distinguish TI from other materials such as heavy metals in modulating spin dynamics of the neighboring magnetic layer.
