摘要:

在没有磁场帮助的情况下对磁化的能量有效控制是自旋电子学的关键目标。钯热诱导单脉冲全光开关已经被证明,但到目前为止,只有在Gd基非晶铁磁薄膜。在这项工作中,我们展示了切换开关的半金属补偿亚铁磁Heusler合金Mn2RuxGa,其中有两个晶体学上不等价的Mn亚晶格。此外,我们观察到的开关在室温下的样品,是免疫外部磁场超过1 T,只要他们表现出高于室温的补偿。在没有Gd的补偿亚铁磁体中观察到的效应挑战了我们对全光开关的理解。动态行为表明,Mn2RuxGa开关在2 ps或less.Our研究结果拓宽了快速光开关的磁化强度的基础和工程材料,可用于非易失性超快开关使用超短光脉冲的新天地。

英文摘要:

Energy-efficient control of magnetization without the help of a magnetic field is a key goal of spintronics. Purely heat-induced single-pulse all-optical toggle switching has been demonstrated, but so far only in Gd based amorphous ferrimagnet films. In this work, we demonstrate toggle switching in the half-metallic compensated ferrimagnetic Heusler alloys Mn2RuxGa, which have two crystallographically-inequivalent Mn sublattices. Moreover, we observe the switching at room temperature in samples that are immune to external magnetic fields in excess of 1 T, provided they exhibit compensation above room temperature. Observations of the effect in compensated ferrimagnets without Gd challenges our understanding of all-optical switching. The dynamic behavior indicates that Mn2RuxGa switches in 2 ps or less. Our findings widen the basis for fast optical switching of magnetization and break new ground for engineered materials that can be used for nonvolatile ultrafast switches using ultrashort pulses of light.
