摘要:

作为MnBi_2Te_4的姊妹化合物和同构化合物,高质量的MnSb_2Te_4单晶是通过固相反应生长的,由于其热亚稳性,长时间的退火和窄的温度窗口起着关键作用。对MnSb_2Te_4单晶的X射线衍射分析表明,与MnBi_2Te_4相比,在Mn(3a)位上有28.9(7)%的Sb反位缺陷,在Sb(6c)位上有19.3(6)%的Mn反位缺陷。与反铁磁(AFM)性质不同,MnSb_2 Te_4在低于24 K时表现出自旋玻璃(SG)态,同时存在磁性和反铁磁竞争。通过直流和交流磁化强度测量,详细研究了其磁滞、各向异性和弛豫过程。此外,反常的霍尔效应作为一个p型导体被证明通过传输测量。这项工作授予MnSb 2 Te 4一个可能的访问到未来的探索奇异的量子物理通过消除奇数/偶数层数量的限制,在本征AFM MnBi 2 Te 4-家庭材料作为其磁性和潜在的拓扑结构之间的交叉在Sb-Te层。

英文摘要:

As a sister compound and isostructural of MnBi2Te4, the high quality MnSb2Te4 single crystals are grown via solid-state reaction where prolonged annealing and narrow temperature window play critical roles on account of its thermal metastability. X-ray diffraction analysis on MnSb2Te4 single crystals reveals pronounced cation intermixing, 28.9(7)% Sb antisite defects on the Mn (3a) site and 19.3(6)% Mn antisite defects on the Sb (6c) site, compared with MnBi2Te4. Unlike antiferromagnetic (AFM) nature MnBi2Te4, MnSb2Te4 contains magnetic and antiferromagnetic competition and exhibits a spin glass (SG) state below 24 K. Its magnetic hysteresis, anisotropy, and relaxation process are investigated in detail with DC and AC magnetization measurements. Moreover, anomalous Hall effect as a p-type conductor is demonstrated through transport measurements. This work grants MnSb2Te4 a possible access to the future exploration of exotic quantum physics by removing the odd/even layer number restraint in intrinsic AFM MnBi2Te4-family materials as a result of the crossover between its magnetism and potential topology in the Sb-Te layer.
