磁各向异性对正方晶格上经典反铁磁体自旋和热输运的影响

Effects of magnetic anisotropy on spin and thermal transports in classical antiferromagnets on the square lattice

Kazushi Aoyama, Hikaru Kawamura

摘要:

本文从理论上研究了正方晶格上经典反铁磁XXZ模型的输运性质,着重讨论了相变的发生如何反映在自旋输运和热输运中。众所周知,交换相互作用$Δ\equiv J_z/J_x$的各向异性起着控制模型跃迁普适类的作用,即,在$T_N$处的二级跃迁到磁有序状态,或者在$T_{KT}$处的Kosterlitz-numerless(KT)跃迁,它们分别发生在伊辛型($Δ>1$)和$XY$型($Δ<1$)各向异性中,而对于$Δ=1$的各向同性海森堡情况,在任何有限温度下都不发生相变。通过Monte-Carlo和自旋动力学的混合模拟发现,自旋流探测到有序性质的差异,而热流则没有。对于$XY$型各向异性,纵向自旋电流电导率$σ^s_{xx}$($=σ^s_{yy}$)在$T_{KT}$处表现出指数形式的发散,$σ^s_{xx} \propto \exp\big[ B/\sqrt{T/T_{KT}-1 }\, \big]$与$B={\cal O}(1)$,而对于Ising型各向异性,$σ^s_{xx}$的温度依赖性几乎是单调的,在$T_{N}$处没有显示出明显的异常,并且这种单调行为在海森堡型自旋系统中也是如此。发现$σ^s_{xx}$在$T_{KT}$处的显著增强是由于自旋电流弛豫时间向$T_{KT}$的指数快速增长,这可以理解为涡旋的拓扑性质的表现,其寿命预期向$T_{KT}$变长。可能的实验平台与KT拓扑转变的自旋输运现象进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

Transport properties of the classical antiferromagnetic XXZ model on the square lattice have been theoretically investigated, putting emphasis on how the occurrence of a phase transition is reflected in spin and thermal transports. As is well known, the anisotropy of the exchange interaction $Δ\equiv J_z/J_x$ plays a role to control the universality class of the transition of the model, i.e., either a second-order transition at $T_N$ into a magnetically ordered state or the Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) transition at $T_{KT}$, which respectively occur for the Ising-type ($Δ>1$) and $XY$-type ($Δ<1$) anisotropies, while for the isotropic Heisenberg case of $Δ=1$, a phase transition does not occur at any finite temperature. It is found by means of the hybrid Monte-Carlo and spin-dynamics simulations that the spin current probes the difference in the ordering properties, while the thermal current does not. For the $XY$-type anisotropy, the longitudinal spin-current conductivity $σ^s_{xx}$ ($=σ^s_{yy}$) exhibits a divergence at $T_{KT}$ of the exponential form, $σ^s_{xx} \propto \exp\big[ B/\sqrt{T/T_{KT}-1 }\, \big]$ with $B={\cal O}(1)$, while for the Ising-type anisotropy, the temperature dependence of $σ^s_{xx}$ is almost monotonic without showing a clear anomaly at $T_{N}$ and such a monotonic behavior is also the case in the Heisenberg-type spin system. The significant enhancement of $σ^s_{xx}$ at $T_{KT}$ is found to be due to the exponential rapid growth of the spin-current-relaxation time toward $T_{KT}$, which can be understood as a manifestation of the topological nature of a vortex whose lifetime is expected to get longer toward $T_{KT}$. Possible experimental platforms for the spin-transport phenomena associated with the KT topological transition are discussed.
