摘要:

我们报道了层状Zintl相化合物EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$的磁性与电子性质,该化合物结晶为三角CaAl$_2$Si$_2$型结构。中子衍射测量表明,EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$在$T_{\ m N} = 27.5(5)$~K以下经历A型反铁磁(AFM)有序,Eu磁矩(Eu$^{2+}$,$S = 7/2$)在$ab$面内铁磁排列。$H = 0$的磁结构由与$ab$面磁各向异性相关的三角反铁磁畴组成,在$T = 2$~K、低于临界场$H_{c1} = 2.5(1)$ kOe时,畴内Eu自旋发生场致重取向。电阻率和ARPES测量表明,EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$在$T_{\ m N}$上下均为金属性。在反铁磁相中,我们直接观察到ARPES中因沿$c$轴磁单胞加倍而出现的折叠能带,且随着冷却至$T_{\ m N}$以下,磁矩与巡游电子之间耦合的复杂变化导致准粒子权重增强。观测到的电子结构可由第一性原理计算很好地重现,该计算还预测在反铁磁相中费米能级附近存在非平庸电子态,其$Z_2$拓扑数为1;(000)。

英文摘要:

The magnetic and electronic properties of the layered Zintl-phase compound EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$ crystallizing in the trigonal CaAl$_2$Si$_2$-type structure are reported. Our neutron-diffraction measurements show that EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$ undergoes A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering below $T_{\rm N} = 27.5(5)$~K, with the Eu moments (Eu$^{2+}$, $S = 7/2$) aligned ferromagnetically in the $ab$ plane. The $H = 0$ magnetic structure consists of trigonal AFM domains associated with $ab$-plane magnetic anisotropy and a field-induced reorientation of the Eu spins in the domains is evident at $T = 2$~K below the critical field $H_{c1} = 2.5(1)$ kOe. Electrical resistivity and ARPES measurements show that EuAl$_2$Ge$_2$ is metallic both above and below $T_{\rm N}$. In the AFM phase, we directly observe folded bands in ARPES due to the doubling of the magnetic unit cell along the $c$ axis with an enhancement of quasiparticle weight due to the complex change in the coupling between the magnetic moments and itinerant electrons on cooling below $T_{\rm N}$. The observed electronic structure is well reproduced by first-principle calculations, which also predict the presence of nontrivial electronic states near the Fermi level in the AFM phase with $Z_2$ topological numbers 1;(000).
