摘要:

外尔点附近费米能级(E $_F$)的调谐是实现大反常能斯特效应(ANE)的有效途径之一。在这项工作中,我们介绍了一种有效的方法来调整$_F$的Co $_2$ MnAl Weyl半金属通过一层一层的组合沉积的Co $_2$ MnAl $_{1-x}$ Si $_x$(CMAS)薄膜。制备了x从0到1变化的单晶组成分布膜。结构表征揭示了在整个组成范围内形成单相CMAS合金,其中L2 $_1$有序度逐渐提高,其中x类似于共溅射单层膜,这验证了本制造技术。CMAS组成扩散膜的硬X射线光电子能谱直接证实了刚性带状E $_F$向从x = 0到1的组成梯度方向的约0.40 eV的位移。利用锁相热成像技术,沿组分梯度用一条带测量了整个x范围内的反常艾丁肖森效应(AEE),即ANE的倒数。AEE和ANE信号的x依赖性的相似性清楚地表明,在组分扩散膜上测量AEE是研究Weyl半金属薄膜的ANE组分依赖性的有效途径,并且实现了无需制备多个膜的最高性能,这将促进基于ANE的能量收集的研究

英文摘要:

A tuning of Fermi level (E$_F$) near Weyl points is one of the promising approaches to realize large anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). In this work, we introduce an efficient approach to tune E$_F$ for the Co$_2$MnAl Weyl semimetal through a layer-by-layer combinatorial deposition of Co$_2$MnAl$_{1-x}$Si$_x$ (CMAS) thin film. A single-crystalline composition-spread film with x varied from 0 to 1 was fabricated. The structural characterization reveals the formation of single-phase CMAS alloy throughout the composition range with a gradual improvement of L2$_1$ order with x similar to the co-sputtered single layered film, which validates the present fabrication technique. Hard X-ray photoemission spectroscopy for the CMAS composition-spread film directly confirmed the rigid band-like E$_F$ shift of approximately 0.40 eV towards the composition gradient direction from x = 0 to 1. The anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE), the reciprocal of ANE, has been measured for whole x range using a single strip along the composition gradient using the lock-in thermography technique. The similarity of the x dependence of observed AEE and ANE signals clearly demonstrates that the AEE measurement on the composition spread film is an effective approach to investigate the composition dependence of ANE of Weyl semimetal thin films and realize the highest performance without fabricating several films, which will accelerate the research for ANE-based energy harvesting
