摘要:

利用低能μ子自旋旋转和X射线磁圆二色性(XMCD)研究了超薄四氢呋喃(T)-CuO薄膜的磁结构.测量的μ子自旋极化衰减表明,具有高于200 K的转变温度的反铁磁(AFM)秩序。在Cu $L_{2,3}$边缘周围获得的XMCD信号表明存在平行于样品表面的钉扎Cu $^{2+}$磁矩以及各向同性顺磁矩。钉扎的一些铜时刻是由AFM排序组成的时刻,最有可能在平面上的膜。此外,钉扎力矩显示出更大的轨道磁矩贡献与$m_{orb}/m_{spin} = 2$的近似比率,表明这些自旋位于对称性降低的站点。即使在360 K下,钉扎力矩的一些部分仍然钉扎在AFM背景上,这表明$T_N >$ 360 K。一个简单的模型可以定性地解释这些实验结果,然而,它是在理论预测相反,超薄T-CuO薄膜的磁性能不同于散装预期,是更复杂的。

英文摘要:

We present a detailed low-energy muon spin rotation and x-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) investigation of the magnetic structure in ultra-thin tetragonal (T)-CuO films. The measured muon-spin polarization decay indicates an antiferromagnetic (AFM) order with a transition temperature higher than 200K. The XMCD signal obtained around the Cu $L_{2,3}$ edges indicates the presence of pinned Cu$^{2+}$ moments that are parallel to the sample surface, and additionally, isotropic paramagnetic moments. The pinning of some of the Cu moments is caused by an AFM ordering consisting of moments that lie most likely in the plane of the film. Moreover, pinned moments show a larger orbital magnetic moment contribution with an approximate ratio of $m_{orb}/m_{spin} = 2$, indicating that these spins are located at sites with reduced symmetry. Some fractions of the pinned moments remain pinned from an AFM background even at 360K, indicating that $T_N >$ 360K. A simple model could explain qualitatively these experimental findings; however, it is in contrast to theoretical predictions, showing that the magnetic properties of ultra-thin T-CuO films differ from bulk expectations and is more complex.
