摘要:

反常霍尔效应(AHE)是揭示磁性材料拓扑性质和自旋织构的重要输运特征。最近,反铁磁MnBi 2 Te 4已被证明是一种内在的磁性拓扑绝缘体,在剥离的纳米片中表现出量子AHE。然而,其复杂的AHE行为可能为磁性和能带结构之间尚未探索的相关性提供了机会。在这里,我们显示的Berry曲率占主导地位的本征AHE在晶圆级的MnBi 2 Te 4薄膜。利用高介电SrTiO_3作为背栅,我们揭示了~7七层MnBi_2 Te_4的双极导电和电子空穴载流子(n-p)跃迁。饱和AHE阻力与纵向阻力呈二次曲线关系,揭示了AHE的内在机理。而对于~ 37层MnBi_2 Te_4,在电门控作用下,AHE的符号由原来的负变为正。第一性原理计算表明,这种行为是由于极化的自旋少数主导的表面态和自旋多数主导的内带之间相互竞争的Berry曲率引起的.我们的研究结果揭示了MnBi_2 Te_4薄膜中门控可调本征AHE的物理机制,并为设计其AHE提供了一种可行的方法。

英文摘要:

Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) is an important transport signature revealing topological properties of magnetic materials and their spin textures. Recently, antiferromagnetic MnBi2Te4 has been demonstrated to be an intrinsic magnetic topological insulator that exhibits quantum AHE in exfoliated nanoflakes. However, its complicated AHE behaviors may offer an opportunity for the unexplored correlation between magnetism and band structure. Here, we show the Berry curvature dominated intrinsic AHE in wafer-scale MnBi2Te4 thin films. By utilizing a high-dielectric SrTiO3 as the back-gate, we unveil an ambipolar conduction and electron-hole carrier (n-p) transition in ~7 septuple layer MnBi2Te4. A quadratic relation between the saturated AHE resistance and longitudinal resistance suggests its intrinsic AHE mechanism. For ~3 septuple layer MnBi2Te4, however, the AHE reverses its sign from pristine negative to positive under the electric-gating. The first-principles calculations demonstrate that such behavior is due to the competing Berry curvature between polarized spin-minority-dominated surface states and spin-majority-dominated inner-bands. Our results shed light on the physical mechanism of the gate-tunable intrinsic AHE in MnBi2Te4 thin films and provide a feasible approach to engineering its AHE.
