摘要:

黄铁矿化合物CoS2由于其巡游铁磁性和半金属性的潜力而在过去得到了深入的研究,这使其成为一种有前途的自旋电子学应用材料。然而,它的电子结构仍然知之甚少。在这里,我们使用互补的体和表面敏感的角分辨光电子能谱学和从头计算,以提供一个完整的图片,其能带结构。我们发现外尔锥在费米能级,这提出了CoS2在一个新的光作为一个罕见的成员最近发现的磁性拓扑金属类。我们直接观察到连接Weyl节点的拓扑费米弧表面态,这将通过修改其在界面处的自旋极化来影响CoS2作为自旋注入器的性能。此外,我们首次能够直接观察到布里渊区角落处的少数自旋体电子口袋,这证明CoS2不是真正的半金属。除了解决关于CoS2中半金属性的长期争论之外,我们的研究结果还提供了一个很好的例子,说明磁性材料的拓扑结构如何影响它们在自旋电子学应用中的使用。

英文摘要:

The pyrite compound CoS2 has been intensively studied in the past due to its itinerant ferromagnetism and potential for half-metallicity, which make it a promising material for spintronic applications. However, its electronic structure remains only poorly understood. Here we use complementary bulk- and surface-sensitive angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and ab-initio calculations to provide a complete picture of its band structure. We discover Weyl-cones at the Fermi-level, which presents CoS2 in a new light as a rare member of the recently discovered class of magnetic topological metals. We directly observe the topological Fermi-arc surface states that link the Weyl-nodes, which will influence the performance of CoS2 as a spin-injector by modifying its spin-polarization at interfaces. Additionally, we are for the first time able to directly observe a minority-spin bulk electron pocket in the corner of the Brillouin zone, which proves that CoS2 cannot be a true half-metal. Beyond settling the longstanding debate about half-metallicity in CoS2, our results provide a prime example of how the topology of magnetic materials can affect their use in spintronic applications.
