摘要:

MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$(MBT)材料是一种很有前途的反铁磁拓扑绝缘体,其场驱动铁磁性可引起轴子绝缘体和Weyl半金属态之间的转变.然而,Mn/Bi反位缺陷和主Mn层之间的反铁磁耦合的存在可以降低低场磁化,并且已经表明,这种缺陷在结构相同的平凡磁性绝缘体MnSb $_2$ Te $_4$(MST)中更普遍。我们使用高场磁化测量表明,MBT和MST的磁化发生在阶段和完全饱和需要~ $\sim$ ~60特斯拉的领域。因此,MBT中的低场磁化平台状态,其中许多量子反常霍尔态的确定进行了研究,实际上由亚铁磁七重块包含均匀和交错的磁化分量。

英文摘要:

MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ (MBT) materials are promising antiferromagnetic topological insulators where field driven ferromagnetism is predicted to cause a transition between axion insulator and Weyl semimetallic states. However, the presence of antiferromagnetic coupling between Mn/Bi antisite defects and the main Mn layer can reduce the low-field magnetization, and it has been shown that such defects are more prevalent in the structurally identical trivial magnetic insulator MnSb$_2$Te$_4$ (MST). We use high-field magnetization measurements to show that the magnetization of MBT and MST occur in stages and full saturation requires fields of~$\sim$~60 Tesla. As a consequence, the low-field magnetization plateau state in MBT, where many determinations of quantum anomalous Hall state are studied, actually consists of ferrimagnetic septuple blocks containing both a uniform and staggered magnetization component.
