摘要:

最近在MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$和MnBi $_4$ Te $_7$中实现的量子反常霍尔效应(QAHE)将(MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$)(Bi $_2$ Te $_3$)$_n$族基准作为进一步QAHE改进的有希望的温床。该家族的潜力归功于其铁磁(FM)有序的MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$七层(SL)。然而,由于SL之间的基本反铁磁(AFM)耦合,在MnBi $_2$ Te $_4$和MnBi $_4$ Te $_7$中QAHE实现是复杂的。对于QAHE有利的FM状态可以通过使SL与增加数量的Bi $_2$ Te $_3$层的$n$交错来稳定。然而,驱动FM状态的机制和必要的QLs的数量还不清楚,表面磁性仍然模糊。在这里,我们展示了强大的FM性能MnBi $_6$ Te $_{10}$($n = 2$)与$T_C \approx 12$ K,并建立其起源的Mn/Bi混合现象相结合的实验和理论研究。我们的测量揭示了一个磁完整的表面具有较大的磁矩,并与FM属性类似的散装。因此,我们的调查巩固了MnBi $_6$ Te $_{10}$系统作为在高温下的QAHE的前景。

英文摘要:

The recent realizations of the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) in MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ and MnBi$_4$Te$_7$ benchmark the (MnBi$_2$Te$_4$)(Bi$_2$Te$_3$)$_n$ family as a promising hotbed for further QAHE improvements. The family owes its potential to its ferromagnetically (FM) ordered MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ septuple layers (SL). However, the QAHE realization is complicated in MnBi$_2$Te$_4$ and MnBi$_4$Te$_7$ due to the substantial antiferromagnetic (AFM) coupling between the SL. An FM state, advantageous for the QAHE, can be stabilized by interlacing the SL with an increasing number $n$ of Bi$_2$Te$_3$ layers. However, the mechanisms driving the FM state and the number of necessary QLs are not understood, and the surface magnetism remains obscure. Here, we demonstrate robust FM properties in MnBi$_6$Te$_{10}$ ($n = 2$) with $T_C \approx 12$ K and establish their origin in the Mn/Bi intermixing phenomenon by a combined experimental and theoretical study. Our measurements reveal a magnetically intact surface with a large magnetic moment, and with FM properties similar to the bulk. Our investigation thus consolidates the MnBi$_6$Te$_{10}$ system as perspective for the QAHE at elevated temperatures.
