摘要:

在这封信中,我们报告发现了一类新的自旋电子材料,即自旋半金属(SSM),采用理论和实验工具。这类材料的能带结构使得自旋带之一类似于半金属的自旋带,而另一个类似于绝缘体/半导体的自旋带。本报告是第一个SSM的实验验证,FeRhCrGe,一个四元Heusler合金的磁矩3 $μ_B$和居里温度为550 K。低于300 K的测量显示出几乎与温度无关的电导率和相对温和的霍尔效应。FeRhCrGe的SSM行为也通过严格的第一性原理计算得到证实。能带结构的计算还表明,自旋(半金属)带的组合特征的II型外尔和节线半金属。因此,这项研究开辟了一类新的材料的可能性,结合自旋和拓扑性质,这是重要的基础和应用的角度来看。

英文摘要:

In this letter, we report the discovery of a new class of spintronic materials, namely spin semi-metals (SSM), employing both theoretical and experimental tools. The band structure of this class of materials is such that one of the spin bands resembles that of a semi-metal, while the other is similar to that of an insulator/semiconductor. This report is the experimental verification of the first SSM, FeRhCrGe, a quaternary Heusler alloy with a magnetic moment 3 $μ_B$ and a Curie temperature of 550 K. The measurement below 300 K shows nearly temperature independent conductivity and a relatively moderate Hall effect. SSM behavior for FeRhCrGe is also confirmed by rigorous first principles calculations. Band structure calculations also reveal that the spin up (semi metallic) band has combined features of type II Weyl and nodal line semimetal. As such, this study opens up the possibility of a new class of material with combined spintronic and topological properties, which is important both from fundamental and applied point of view.
