摘要:

二维磁性晶体和莫尔工程的出现为通过莫尔超晶格中的竞争相互作用设计新的磁性基态打开了大门。尽管人们已经预言了一系列有趣的现象,包括多味磁态、非共线磁态、摩尔磁振子带和磁振子网络,但扭曲双层磁性晶体中的非平凡磁基态还没有实现。在这里,通过利用堆叠依赖的层间交换相互作用在CrI 3,我们证明了在小扭曲角双层CrI 3的非共线磁基态。它由反铁磁(AF)和铁磁(FM)域组成,是在莫尔超晶格的单斜堆叠区域中竞争的层间AF耦合和形成AF-FM域壁的能量成本的结果。在临界扭转角~ 3°以上,非共线态突然跃迁到共线FM基态。我们进一步表明,非共线的磁性状态可以控制门通过掺杂依赖的层间AF相互作用。我们的研究结果表明,在扭曲的双层磁性晶体,以及栅极电压可控的高密度磁存储器存储的工程摩尔磁性的可能性。

英文摘要:

The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic crystals and moiré engineering has opened the door for devising new magnetic ground states via competing interactions in moiré superlattices. Although a suite of interesting phenomena, including multi-flavor magnetic states, noncollinear magnetic states, moiré magnon bands and magnon networks, has been predicted, nontrivial magnetic ground states in twisted bilayer magnetic crystals have yet to be realized. Here, by utilizing the stacking-dependent interlayer exchange interactions in CrI3, we demonstrate in small-twist-angle bilayer CrI3 a noncollinear magnetic ground state. It consists of both antiferromagnetic (AF) and ferromagnetic (FM) domains and is a result of the competing interlayer AF coupling in the monoclinic stacking regions of the moiré superlattice and the energy cost for forming AF-FM domain walls. Above the critical twist angle of ~ 3°, the noncollinear state transitions abruptly to a collinear FM ground state. We further show that the noncollinear magnetic state can be controlled by gating through the doping-dependent interlayer AF interaction. Our results demonstrate the possibility of engineering moiré magnetism in twisted bilayer magnetic crystals, as well as gate-voltage-controllable high-density magnetic memory storage.
