反铁磁-拓扑绝缘体异质结构中局域自旋轨道矩产生自旋波

Spin Wave Generation via Localized Spin-Orbit Torque in an Antiferromagnet-Topological Insulator Heterostructure

Xinyi Xu, Yuriy G. Semenov, Ki Wook Kim

摘要:

从理论上研究了拓扑绝缘体(TI)在相邻反铁磁薄膜中产生自旋波的自旋轨道矩。研究是基于微磁学Néel矢量动力学模拟和TI中输运性质的分析。结果清楚地表明,传播自旋波可以实现在反铁磁薄膜带通过本地化的激发,在一个很长的距离旅行。当Néel矢量以固定频率绕磁易轴进动时,由于非零阻尼,振荡幅度逐渐衰减。频率也被发现是可调的,通过驱动电流密度的强度。虽然体和表面状态的TI有助于诱导的有效扭矩,计算表明,表面电流起着主导作用,除了在严重退化的情况下,在体对应。与更常用的重金属相比,使用TI可以大大降低阈值电流密度以克服磁各向异性,使其成为自旋波产生的有效选择。纳米振荡器几何中的Néel矢量动力学也进行了研究。

英文摘要:

The spin-orbit torque induced by a topological insulator (TI) is theoretically examined for spin wave generation in a neighboring antiferromagnetic thin film. The investigation is based on the micromagnetic simulation of Néel vector dynamics and the analysis of transport properties in the TI. The results clearly illustrate that propagating spin waves can be achieved in the antiferromagnetic thin-film strip through localized excitation, traveling over a long distance. The oscillation amplitude gradually decays due to the non-zero damping as the Néel vector precesses around the magnetic easy axis with a fixed frequency. The frequency is also found to be tunable via the strength of the driving electrical current density. While both the bulk and the surface states of the TI contribute to induce the effective torque, the calculation indicates that the surface current plays a dominant role over the bulk counterpart except in the heavily degenerate cases. Compared to the more commonly applied heavy metals, the use of a TI can substantially reduce the threshold current density to overcome the magnetic anisotropy, making it an efficient choice for spin wave generation. The Néel vector dynamics in the nano-oscillator geometry are examined as well.
