AI总结:

本研究通过非弹性中子散射测量 YbMnSb2 的磁激发,发现其自旋波阻尼和 Mn 层层间耦合均显著强于 YbMnBi2,从而揭示磁性与 Dirac 费米子之间的自旋–费米子耦合。

摘要:

我们报道了对 YbMnSb2 中磁激发的非弹性中子散射测量;YbMnSb2 是一种低载流子密度的 Dirac 半金属,其中反铁磁 Mn 层与承载 Dirac 费米子的 Sb 层交替排列。我们观察到自旋波显著展宽,这与较强的自旋–费米子耦合相一致。YbMnSb2 中的自旋波阻尼 γ 约为姊妹材料 YbMnBi2 的两倍;在 YbMnBi2 中曾报道存在小阻尼迹象,并与自旋–费米子耦合的理论分析相符。YbMnSb2 中 Mn 层之间的层间相互作用也强得多,表明该相互作用机制源于相同的自旋–费米子耦合。我们的结果确立了层状磁性 Dirac 材料中自旋–费米子相互作用的系统规律。

英文摘要:

We report inelastic neutron scattering measurements of magnetic excitations in YbMnSb2, a low-carrier-density Dirac semimetal in which the antiferromagnetic Mn layers are interleaved with Sb layers that host Dirac fermions. We observe a considerable broadening of spin waves, which is consistent with substantial spin fermion coupling. The spin wave damping, $γ$, in YbMnSb2 is roughly twice larger compared to that in a sister material, YbMnBi2, where an indication of a small damping consistent with theoretical analysis of the spin-fermion coupling was reported. The inter-plane interaction between the Mn layers in YbMnSb2 is also much stronger, suggesting that the interaction mechanism is rooted in the same spin-fermion coupling. Our results establish the systematics of spin-fermion interactions in layered magnetic Dirac materials.
