AI总结:

本研究通过外场调控MnBi₂Te₄的磁相转变,发现晶格热导率可呈现正负两种磁场依赖关系,并用磁子能隙变化调控磁子-声子散射的机制进行解释,为磁控热开关设计提供新思路。

摘要:

通常认为声子特性与晶格热导率对磁场并不敏感。我们通过施加外场使MnBi₂Te₄在反铁磁(AFM)、倾斜反铁磁(CAFM)和铁磁(FM)相之间转变,发现了一种调控晶格热导率的新途径,可同时产生正、负两种磁场依赖关系。我们报道了在2K至30K温度范围内,沿面外方向施加外场时,MnBi₂Te₄面内方向热导率k的磁场依赖特性:k在AFM相随磁场增大而降低,在CAFM相达到饱和,在FM相随磁场增大而升高。我们从磁场诱导的磁子能隙变化角度对此进行了解释——磁子能隙的改变会调整满足能量守恒条件的磁子-声子散射过程的允许范围。我们还报道了在相同构型下测得的磁塞贝克系数、能斯特系数和热霍尔数据。这一发现或为设计磁控热开关开辟新路径。

英文摘要:

Phonon properties and the lattice thermal conductivity are not generally understood to be sensitive to magnetic fields. Using an applied field to change MnBi2Te4 between antiferromagnetic (AFM), canted (CAFM) and ferromagnetic (FM) phases we discovered a new way to control the lattice thermal conductivity, generating both a positive and a negative magnetic field dependence. We report the field dependence of the thermal conductivity, k, in the in-plane direction under an applied magnetic field along the cross-plane direction in MnBi2Te4 from 2K to 30K. k decreases with field in the AFM phase, saturates in the CAFM phase, and increases with field in the FM phase. We explain this in terms of the field-induced changes of the magnon gap which modifies which magnon-phonon scattering processes are allowed by energy conservation. We also report magneto-Seebeck coefficient, Nernst coefficient and thermal Hall data measured in the same configuration. This finding may open a way to design magnetically controlled heat switches.
