巡游外尔电子引起的局域磁矩动力学

The dynamics of local magnetic moments induced by itinerant Weyl electrons

Predrag Nikolić

摘要:

导出了磁性拓扑半金属中以Weyl电子为媒介的局域磁矩之间的有效相互作用。由此产生的自旋动力学是由诱导海森堡,Kitaev和Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya(DM)的相互作用与扩展范围和振荡依赖于自旋之间的距离。这些相互作用在多个竞争通道中实现,这些竞争通道由电子光谱中的众多Weyl节点形成。微观自旋需要空间调制与通道相关的波矢量,以利用的相互作用。DM矢量平行于两个相互作用的自旋之间的位移,并且需要外尔电子费米面的存在。我们还导出了外磁场作用下的外尔诱导手征三自旋相互作用。这种相互作用也具有扩展的范围,并且作用于各种通道中的空间调制自旋。其趋势是产生具有拓扑霍尔效应的Skyrmion晶格或手性自旋液体。最终,这里发展的理论解决了相对论金属中的磁动力学,即使在微观上排除了手性磁性。我们讨论的见解有序状态的磁性Weyl半金属NdAlSi。

英文摘要:

We derive the effective interactions between local magnetic moments which are mediated by Weyl electrons in magnetic topological semimetals. The resulting spin dynamics is governed by the induced Heisenberg, Kitaev and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interactions with extended range and oscillatory dependence on the distance between the spins. These interactions are realized in multiple competing channels shaped by the multitude of Weyl nodes in the electron spectrum. Microscopic spins need to be spatially modulated with a channel-dependent wavevector in order to take advantage of the interactions. The DM vector is parallel to the displacement between the two interacting spins, and requires the presence of Weyl electron Fermi surfaces. We also derive the Weyl-induced chiral three-spin interaction in the presence of an external magnetic field. This interaction has an extended range as well, and acts upon the spatially modulated spins in various channels. Its tendency is to produce a skyrmion lattice or a chiral spin liquid which exhibits topological Hall effect. Ultimately, the theory developed here addresses magnetic dynamics in relativistic metals even when chiral magnetism is microscopically precluded. We discuss insights into the ordered state of the magnetic Weyl semimetal NdAlSi.
