EuS(111)/Bi $_2$ Se $_3$异质结构中的部分电荷转移和感生磁化的消失

Partial Charge Transfer and Absence of Induced Magnetization in EuS(111)/Bi$_2$Se$_3$ Heterostructures

Damien Tristant, Ilya Vekhter, Vincent Meunier, William Shelton

摘要:

由拓扑和磁性绝缘体制成的异质结构有望形成由界面效应介导的新的电子和自旋电子功能的优良平台。采用第一性原理密度泛函理论研究了EuS(111)/Bi $_2$ Se $_3$界面的几何结构、电子结构和磁性,包括范德华效应和相对论自旋轨道效应.与以前的理论研究相反,我们发现在这样的异质结构中没有明显的磁各向异性。我们也没有看到额外的感应磁化在接口或磁邻近效应的拓扑状态。这是由于Eu矩的局域性质,并且由于$\sim$ 0.5电子从Eu到Se的部分电荷转移。表面偶极的形成使狄拉克锥移动到化学势以下约0.4 eV,并且相关的静电屏蔽将Bi $_2$ Se $_3$的第一个五重层的拓扑状态移动到第二个五重层。

英文摘要:

Heterostructures made from topological and magnetic insulators promise to form excellent platforms for new electronic and spintronic functionalities mediated by interfacial effects. We report the results of a first-principles density functional theory study of the geometric, electronic structure, and magnetic properties of EuS(111)/Bi$_2$Se$_3$ interface, including van der Waals and relativistic spin-orbit effects. In contrast to previous theoretical studies, we find no appreciable magnetic anisotropy in such a heterostructure. We also do not see additional induced magnetization at the interface or the magnetic proximity effect on the topological states. This is due to the localized nature of Eu moments, and because of a partial charge transfer of $\sim$0.5 electron from Eu to Se. The formation of the surface dipole shifts the Dirac cone about 0.4~eV below the chemical potential, and the associated electrostatic screening moves the topological state from the first to the second quintuple layer of Bi$_2$Se$_3$.
