CeAgSb2铁磁体单晶的拓扑磁滞

Topological Magnetic Hysteresis in Single Crystals of CeAgSb2 Ferromagnet

Ruslan Prozorov, Sergey L. Bud'ko, Paul C. Canfield

摘要:

在薄膜和外加磁场中,通常可以观察到闭合拓扑的磁畴。在这里,我们报告的观察矩形横截面管状铁磁畴厚单晶CeAgSb 2在零外加磁场。相对较低的交换能、小的净磁矩和各向异性的面内晶体电场降低了畴壁能量并允许形成闭合拓扑图案。在循环磁场时,畴结构不可逆地转变成树枝状开放拓扑图案。闭合和开放拓扑之间的这种过渡导致“拓扑磁滞”-磁化的实际磁滞,不是由于缺陷和钉扎,而是由于图案形态的差异。在纯I型超导体中,类似的物理现象以前就被提出过,并且被认为是干净极限中其他非线性多相系统的一般特征。

英文摘要:

Closed-topology magnetic domains are usually observed in thin films and in an applied magnetic field. Here we report the observation of rectangular cross-section tubular ferromagnetic domains in thick single crystals of CeAgSb2 in zero applied field. Relatively low exchange energy, small net magnetic moment, and anisotropic in-plane crystal electric fields lower the domain wall energy and allow for the formation of the closed-topology patterns. Upon cycling the magnetic field, the domain structure irreversibly transforms into a dendritic open-topology pattern. This transition between closed and open topologies results in a "topological magnetic hysteresis" - the actual hysteresis in magnetization, not due to the imperfections and pinning, but due to the difference in the pattern morphology. Similar physics was suggested before in pure type-I superconductors and is believed to be a generic feature of other nonlinear multi-phase systems in the clean limit.
