摘要:

最近在巡游4D铁磁钙钛矿SrRuO3中观察到的Weyl费米子表明,这种材料是探索与外延异质结构中的一对Weyl节点相关的新物理的良好平台。在这封信中,我们报告的厚度依赖的磁输运性能的超高品质的外延SrRuO3薄膜生长在SrTiO3衬底上的优化条件下。外尔费米子输运的特征,即,在厚度为10 nm的薄膜中观察到非饱和线性正磁阻效应,并伴有π Berry相的量子振荡。剩余电阻率随膜厚的减小而增加,表明SrRuO3和SrTiO3衬底之间的界面附近的无序。由于这种无序影响薄膜的磁性和电学性质,居里温度降低,矫顽场随厚度减小而增加。厚度相关的磁输运测量表明,观察外尔费米子输运的阈值剩余电阻率比(RRR)为21。这些结果为实现外尔费米子在SrRuO3异质界面附近的量子输运提供了指导。

英文摘要:

The recent observation of Weyl fermions in the itinerant 4d ferromagnetic perovskite SrRuO3 points to this material being a good platform for exploring novel physics related to a pair of Weyl nodes in epitaxial heterostructures. In this letter, we report the thickness-dependent magnetotransport properties of ultra-high-quality epitaxial SrRuO3 films grown under optimized conditions on SrTiO3 substrates. Signatures of Weyl fermion transport, i.e., unsaturated linear positive magnetoresistance accompanied by a quantum oscillation having a π Berry phase, were observed in films with thicknesses as small as 10 nm. Residual resistivity increased with decreasing film thickness, indicating disorder near the interface between SrRuO3 and the SrTiO3 substrate. Since this disorder affects the magnetic and electrical properties of the films, the Curie temperature decreases and the coercive field increases with decreasing thickness. Thickness-dependent magnetotransport measurements revealed that the threshold residual resistivity ratio (RRR) to observe Weyl fermion transport is 21. These results provide guidelines for realizing quantum transport of Weyl fermions in SrRuO3 near heterointerfaces.
