摘要:

自旋电子学研究的中心目标是实现对高效和自旋极化电子流的灵活控制。基于第一性原理计算和k-p模型,我们证明了Cu_2S/Mn_Se异质结构是一种新型的Chern绝缘体,具有半金属手征边缘态和很高的费米速度(0.87 × 10 ~ 6 m/s).发现边缘态的全自旋极化对化学势的调谐是鲁棒的。与以前报道的机制不同,这种异质结构具有正常带阶的二次带,即p/d样带低于s样带。Cu 2S部分和衬底之间的电荷转移导致占据带的变化,这与自旋-轨道耦合一起触发系统中拓扑状态的出现。这些结果表明,许多普通的半导体正常带序可以转换成陈绝缘体的半金属手征边缘态通过这一机制,提供了一种策略,以找到各种材料的无耗散,100%自旋极化和高速自旋电子器件。

英文摘要:

The central target of spintronics research is to achieve flexible control of highly efficient and spin-polarized electronic currents. Based on first-principles calculations and k-p models, we demonstrate that Cu2S/MnSe heterostructures are a novel type of Chern insulators with half-metallic chiral edge states and a very high Fermi velocity (0.87 * 10^6 m/s). The full spin-polarization of the edge states is found to be robust against the tuning of the chemical potential. Unlike the mechanisms reported previously, this heterostructure has quadratic bands with a normal band order, that is, the p/d-like band is below the s-like band. Charge transfer between the Cu2S moiety and the substrate results in variation in the occupied bands, which together with spin-orbit coupling, triggers the appearance of the topological state in the system. These results imply that numerous ordinary semiconductors with normal band order may convert into Chern insulators with half-metallic chiral edge states through this mechanism, providing a strategy to find a rich variety of materials for dissipationless, 100% spin-polarized and high-speed spintronic devices.
