摘要:

反铁磁二维材料在反铁磁子和自旋电子学器件中有着广泛的应用前景,目前正处于理论和实验研究的前沿。最近的实验研究揭示了磁各向异性和Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用(Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya)对有序基态和磁激发的重要性。在这里,我们提出了一个强大的经典场论的方法来分析磁各向异性和Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya相互作用的影响,在2D反铁磁纳米带的边缘和体自旋波。我们预测存在一类新的非互易边缘自旋波,其特征在于在相反方向上的相反极化。这些新的边缘自旋波的诱导下,从根本上不同于传统的非互易自旋波的偏振是独立的传播方向。除了在反铁磁自旋波领域的突破外,本研究还进一步分析了边缘结构对磁激发的影响。特别是,我们表明,各向异性的胡须边缘纳米带作为磁拓扑绝缘体在磁振子的应用非常有趣的潜力。

英文摘要:

Antiferromagnetic two-dimensional (2D) materials are currently under intensive theoretical and experimental investigations in view of their potential applications in antiferromagnet-based magnonic and spintronic devices. Recent experimental studies revealed the importance of magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) on the ordered ground state and the magnetic excitations in these materials. Here we present a robust classical field theory approach to analyze the effect of magnetic anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) on the edge and bulk spin waves in 2D antiferromagnetic nanoribbons. We predict the existence of a new class of nonreciprocal edge spin waves characterized by opposite polarizations in opposite directions. These novel edge spin waves are induced by the DMI and are fundamentally different from conventional nonreciprocal spin waves for which the polarization is independent of the propagation direction. Aside this breakthrough in the field of antiferromagnetic spin waves, the study further analysis the effect of the edges structure on the magnetic excitations. In particular, we show that anisotropic bearded edges nanoribbons act as magnetic topological insulators with exceptionally interesting potentials for applications in magnonics.
