通过界面未占态的光诱导Rashba自旋到电荷转换
Photoinduced Rashba spin to charge conversion via interfacial unoccupied state
摘要:
在具有反转对称性破缺的界面处,Rashba效应将电子的运动耦合到它们的自旋,因此,可以发生自旋-电荷相互转换机制。这些相互转换机制通常利用自旋泵或自旋扭矩铁磁共振在费米能级的Rashba自旋分裂。在此,我们报道了在Cu(111)/ $α$ -Bi $_{2}$ O $_{3}$界面上费米能级以上的未占据态中通过Rashba自旋分裂进行的显著的光致自旋-电荷转换的证据.我们预测的平均Rashba系数$1.72\times 10^{-10}eV.m$在1.98 eV以上的费米能级,通过完全相对论第一性原理分析的界面电子结构与自旋轨道相互作用。我们发现协议与我们的观察螺旋度依赖于光致自旋电荷转换激发在1.96 eV,在室温下,与自旋电流产生的$J_{s}=10^{6}A/m^{2}$。本信显示了有效的自旋电荷转换的证据,利用Rashba自旋分裂在激发态,收获光能没有磁性材料或外部磁场。
英文摘要:
At interfaces with inversion symmetry breaking, Rashba effect couples the motion of electrons to their spin; as a result, spin-charge interconversion mechanism can occur. These interconversion mechanisms commonly exploit Rashba spin splitting at the Fermi level by spin pumping or spin torque ferromagnetic resonance. Here, we report evidence of significant photoinduced spin to charge conversion via Rashba spin splitting in an unoccupied state above the Fermi level at the Cu(111)/$α$-Bi$_{2}$O$_{3}$ interface. We predict an average Rashba coefficient of $1.72\times 10^{-10}eV.m$ at 1.98 eV above the Fermi level, by fully relativistic first-principles analysis of the interfacial electronic structure with spin orbit interaction. We find agreement with our observation of helicity dependent photoinduced spin to charge conversion excited at 1.96 eV at room temperature, with spin current generation of $J_{s}=10^{6}A/m^{2}$. The present letter shows evidence of efficient spin-charge conversion exploiting Rashba spin splitting at excited states, harvesting light energy without magnetic materials or external magnetic fields.
