AI总结:

本文利用中子散射研究拓扑半金属 YbMnSb2 的磁激发,发现 Mn 局域磁矩与狄拉克费米子耦合更强,且层间交换作用比 Bi 同类化合物大五倍。

摘要:

我们报告了对 YbMnSb$_2$ 的中子散射测量,这些测量为磁矩的性质及其与狄拉克费米子的相互作用提供了新的认识。利用半极化中子衍射,我们测量了顺磁相中场诱导的磁化分布,发现磁矩很好地局域在 Mn 原子上。利用三轴中子散射,我们测量了反铁磁有序相中整个布里渊区内的磁振子谱,并通过线性自旋波理论确定了主要的交换相互作用。分析表明,层间交换作用比几种含 Bi 而非 Sb 的相关化合物中的层间交换作用大五倍。我们认为,Mn 局域磁矩与拓扑能带态之间的耦合在 YbMnSb$_2$ 中比在 Bi 化合物中更为重要。

英文摘要:

We report neutron scattering measurements on YbMnSb$_2$ which shed new light on the nature of the magnetic moments and their interaction with Dirac fermions. Using half-polarized neutron diffraction we measured the field-induced magnetization distribution in the paramagnetic phase and found that the magnetic moments are well localised on the Mn atoms. Using triple-axis neutron scattering we measured the magnon spectrum throughout the Brillouin zone in the antiferromagnetically ordered phase, and we determined the dominant exchange interactions from linear spin-wave theory. The analysis shows that the interlayer exchange is five times larger than in several related compounds containing Bi instead of Sb. We argue that the coupling between the Mn local magnetic moments and the topological band states is more important in YbMnSb$_2$ than in the Bi compounds.
