摘要:

半金属Heusler合金由于其独特的半金属能带结构,具有高的自旋极化和巨大的磁电阻效应而受到人们的广泛关注。除了用作铁磁电极,Heusler合金还具有最近在其他铁磁金属中证明的自旋-电荷转换的潜力。在这里,我们报告的自旋电荷转换效应的原型Heusler合金NiMnSb。利用自旋泵将Y3 Fe 5 O 12的自旋电流注入到NiMnSb薄膜中,通过自旋-轨道相互作用将自旋电流转化为电荷电流.有趣的是,在低温下观察到一个不寻常的电荷信号,其符号变化可以通过膜厚度和有序结构来操纵。发现自旋-电荷转换有两个贡献。首先,界面贡献导致负电压信号,其相对于温度几乎恒定。第二个贡献是温度依赖性的,因为它是由少数国家占主导地位,由于热激发磁振子在大部分的膜。本工作为利用界面-体工程技术实现铁磁金属中自旋-电荷转换的自旋电子学器件提供了一条途径。

英文摘要:

Half-metallic Heusler alloys are attracting considerable attention because of their unique half-metallic band structures which exhibit high spin polarization and yield huge magnetoresistance ratios. Besides serving as ferromagnetic electrodes, Heusler alloys also have the potential to host spin-charge conversion which has been recently demonstrated in other ferromagnetic metals. Here, we report on the spin-charge conversion effect in the prototypical Heusler alloy NiMnSb. Spin currents were injected from Y3Fe5O12 into NiMnSb films by spin pumping, and then the spin currents were converted to charge currents via spin-orbit interactions. Interestingly, an unusual charge signal was observed with a sign change at low temperature, which can be manipulated by film thickness and ordering structure. It is found that the spin-charge conversion has two contributions. First, the interfacial contribution causes a negative voltage signal, which is almost constant versus temperature. The second contribution is temperature dependent because it is dominated by minority states due to thermally excited magnons in the bulk part of the film. This work provides a pathway for the manipulation of spin-charge conversion in ferromagnetic metals by interface-bulk engineering for spintronic devices.
