摘要:

磁性过渡金属二硫属化物(TMD)薄膜最近出现作为有前途的候选人托管新的磁相相关的下一代自旋电子器件。然而,在这样的膜中,仍有待实现对磁化取向或各向异性及其热稳定性(其特征在于居里温度(Tc))的系统控制。在这里,我们提出了自插层外延Cr 1 +δ Te 2薄膜作为一个平台,实现系统的/平滑的磁剪裁在TMD薄膜。利用分子束外延(MBE)技术,在保持NiAs型晶体结构的同时,实现了Cr_(1 +δ)Te_(2+)薄膜的外延生长。随着δ的增加,在160 ~ 350 K温度范围内,Tc单调增加,在固定膜厚下,磁各向异性从面外易磁化轴向面内易磁化轴旋转。传统的偶极和轨道矩项的贡献不足以解释所观察到的δ的磁性行为的演变。相反,从头计算表明,与δ的反铁磁相互作用的出现,以及它与传统铁磁性的相互作用,可能在观察到的趋势中发挥关键作用。据我们所知,这构成了第一个演示的可调Tc和磁各向异性在室温下的TMD薄膜,并铺平了道路,工程新的磁相自旋电子应用。

英文摘要:

Magnetic transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) films have recently emerged as promising candidates to host novel magnetic phases relevant to next-generation spintronic devices. However, systematic control of the magnetization orientation, or anisotropy, and its thermal stability, characterized by Curie temperature (Tc) remains to be achieved in such films. Here we present self-intercalated epitaxial Cr1+δTe2 films as a platform for achieving systematic/smooth magnetic tailoring in TMD films. Using a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) based technique, we have realized epitaxial Cr1+δTe2 films with smoothly tunable over a wide range (0.33-0.82), while maintaining NiAs-type crystal structure. With increasing δ, we found monotonic enhancement of Tc from 160 to 350 K, and the rotation of magnetic anisotropy from out-of-plane to in-plane easy axis configuration for fixed film thickness. Contributions from conventional dipolar and orbital moment terms are insufficient to explain the observed evolution of magnetic behavior with δ. Instead, ab initio calculations suggest that the emergence of antiferromagnetic interactions with δ, and its interplay with conventional ferromagnetism, may play a key role in the observed trends. To our knowledge, this constitutes the first demonstration of tunable Tc and magnetic anisotropy across room temperature in TMD films, and paves the way for engineering novel magnetic phases for spintronic applications.
