摘要:

合成新的材料,可以主机磁skyrmions和他们彻底的实验和理论表征是必不可少的未来技术应用。$β$型化合物FePtMo $_3$ N是属于手性空间群$P4_132$的一种这样的新型材料,其中由于不存在反转对称性而允许反对称的Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya相互作用。本文报道了FePtMo $_3$ N的小角中子散射(SANS)测量结果,证实了其磁基态是一个长周期自旋螺旋,居里温度为222 K.磁场诱导的SANS强度的重新分布表明,在温度略低于$T_{\text C}$时,螺旋结构在$\sim$ 13~mT处转变为skyrmion晶格.我们的关键观察是,在FePtMo $_3$ N的skyrmion状态是强大的场冷却到最低温度。而且,一旦通过场冷却制备了亚稳态,即使在零场下也存在Skyrmion晶格。此外,我们发现,在FePtMo $_3$ N的skyrmion尺寸表现出高灵敏度的样品温度,并可以在120和210纳米之间连续调谐。这为手性磁体拓扑性质的控制提供了新的前景。

英文摘要:

Synthesis of new materials that can host magnetic skyrmions and their thorough experimental and theoretical characterization are essential for future technological applications. The $β$-Mn-type compound FePtMo$_3$N is one such novel material that belongs to the chiral space group $P4_132$, where the antisymmetric Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction is allowed due to the absence of inversion symmetry. We report the results of small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) measurements of FePtMo$_3$N and demonstrate that its magnetic ground state is a long-period spin helix with a Curie temperature of 222~K. The magnetic field-induced redistribution of the SANS intensity showed that the helical structure transforms to a lattice of skyrmions at $\sim$13~mT at temperatures just below $T_{\text C}$. Our key observation is that the skyrmion state in FePtMo$_3$N is robust against field cooling down to the lowest temperatures. Moreover, once the metastable state is prepared by field cooling, the skyrmion lattice exists even in zero field. Furthermore, we show that the skyrmion size in FePtMo$_3$N exhibits high sensitivity to the sample temperature and can be continuously tuned between 120 and 210~nm. This offers new prospects in the control of topological properties of chiral magnets.
