摘要:

自20世纪90年代诞生以来,半导体自旋电子学与作为自旋源的铁磁体的兼容性很差。虽然某些半导体的破缺反转对称性可替代地允许自旋-电荷相互转换,但其通过电场的控制是不稳定的。铁电Rashba半导体是一种吸引人的材料,具有铁电性赋予的磁性、大的自旋轨道耦合和非挥发性。然而,它们在自旋电子学方面的潜力却很少被探索。在这里,我们展示了非易失性,铁电控制的自旋电荷转换在室温下在外延碲化锗薄膜。我们表明,铁电开关的电选通是可能的GeTe,尽管它的高载流子密度。我们揭示了一个自旋到电荷的转换有效的Pt,但其符号是由铁电极化的方向控制。理论和实验数据的比较表明,自旋霍尔效应在开关转换中起着重要作用。这些结果开辟了一条将自旋逻辑和存储器集成到硅兼容材料中的器件路线。

英文摘要:

Since its birth in the 1990s, semiconductor spintronics has suffered from poor compatibility with ferromagnets as sources of spin. While the broken inversion symmetry of some semiconductors may alternatively allow for spin-charge interconversion, its control by electric fields is volatile. Ferroelectric Rashba semiconductors stand as appealing materials unifying semiconductivity, large spin-orbit coupling, and non-volatility endowed by ferroelectricity. However, their potential for spintronics has been little explored. Here, we demonstrate the non-volatile, ferroelectric control of spin-to-charge conversion at room temperature in epitaxial GeTe films. We show that ferroelectric switching by electrical gating is possible in GeTe despite its high carrier density. We reveal a spin-to-charge conversion as effective as in Pt, but whose sign is controlled by the orientation of the ferroelectric polarization. The comparison between theoretical and experimental data suggests that spin Hall effect plays a major role for switchable conversion. These results open a route towards devices combining spin-based logic and memory integrated into a silicon-compatible material.
