摘要:

拓扑绝缘体是具有导电表面态的绝缘体材料。它们的磁性掺杂打破了时间反演对称性,并产生了许多有趣的效应,如无耗散输运。尽管如此,它们的动力学性质仍然知之甚少。在这里,我们进行了系统的调查$3d$和$4d$单杂质嵌入两个原型拓扑绝缘体(Bi $_2$ Te $_3$和Bi $_2$ Se $_3$)的横向自旋激发。发现在拓扑绝缘体的体隙内的杂质诱导态对自旋激发谱具有剧烈的影响,导致非常高的寿命达到${microseconds}$。通过映射到一个广义的Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert唯象模型,得到了自旋动力学的直观图像。从该映射过程中提取的第一个量是磁各向异性能,然后将其与由磁力定理提供的磁各向异性能进行比较。这揭示了后者遇到的一些困难,这可能会提供错误的结果,在费米能量的状态密度高的杂质。此外,吉尔伯特阻尼和章动张量。章动效应可导致高频区自旋激发共振的不可忽略的偏移。最后,我们研究了表面态对自旋动力学的影响,这可能会严重改变,由于杂质诱导状态的重新定位相比,散装情况。我们对这一系列磁性杂质的系统研究揭示了它们在拓扑绝缘体中的自旋动力学,并对现有和未来的实验研究产生了影响,例如,将这些杂质用于固态量子比特的可行性。

英文摘要:

Topological insulators are insulating bulk materials hosting conducting surface states. Their magnetic doping breaks time-reversal symmetry and generates numerous interesting effects such as dissipationless transport. Nonetheless, their dynamical properties are still poorly understood. Here, we perform a systematic investigation of transverse spin excitations of $3d$ and $4d$ single impurities embedded in two prototypical topological insulators (Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Bi$_2$Se$_3$). The impurity-induced states within the bulk gap of the topological insulators are found to have a drastic impact on the spin excitation spectra, resulting in very high lifetimes reaching up to ${microseconds}$. An intuitive picture of the spin dynamics is obtained by mapping onto a generalized Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert phenomenological model. The first quantity extracted from this mapping procedure is the magnetic anisotropy energy, which is then compared to the one provided by the magnetic force theorem. This uncovers some difficulties encountered with the latter, which can provide erroneous results for impurities with a high density of states at the Fermi energy. Moreover, the Gilbert damping and nutation tensors are obtained. The nutation effects can lead to a non-negligible shift in the spin excitation resonance in the high-frequency regime. Finally, we study the impact of the surface state on the spin dynamics, which may be severely altered due to the repositioning of the impurity-induced state in comparison to the bulk case. Our systematic investigation of this series of magnetic impurities sheds light on their spin dynamics within topological insulators, with implications for available and future experimental studies as, for instance, on the viability of using such impurities for solid-state qubits.
