自旋轨道耦合 Hubbard 斯格明子

Spin-orbit coupled Hubbard skyrmions

Ryo Makuta, Chisa Hotta

AI总结:

研究强自旋轨道耦合 Hubbard 模型中的基态电子,揭示兼具导电性、实空间与动量空间磁矩织构及能带 Chern 数的纳米斯格明子,并阐明其相互作用、各向异性与稳定机制。

摘要:

当材料相具有拓扑量子数时,其中会存在受非平凡拓扑保护的缺陷。磁性斯格明子就是这种“量子化”对象;尽管许多斯格明子材料是金属,但理论上它们通常仍被当作纯经典自旋态处理。本文表明,由具有强自旋轨道耦合的 Hubbard 模型描述的电子,可在基态中呈现各种纳米尺度或薄片尺度的斯格明子。重要的是,形成 Fermi pockets 的导电电子本身在实空间和动量空间中都携带有织构的磁矩,并且其能带还具有 Chern 数。这种量子且导电的斯格明子与在原子层状化合物中观测到的小型斯格明子相关。我们阐明了有效磁相互作用和磁各向异性如何与自旋轨道耦合相联系,以及它们如何超越唯象描述而影响斯格明子的稳定性。

英文摘要:

When the material phases exhibit topological quantum numbers, they host defects protected by the nontrivial topology. Magnetic skyrmions are such ``quantized" objects and although many of them are metals they had been most likely treated in theories as purely classical spin states. Here, we show that the electrons described by the Hubbard model with strong spin-orbit couplings can exhibit various nano- or flake-size skyrmions in their ground state. Importantly, the conducting electrons forming Fermi pockets themselves carry textured magnetic moments in both real and momentum space and on top of that, possess Chern numbers in their energy bands. This quantum and conducting skyrmion is related to small skyrmions observed in atomic-layered compounds. We clarify how the effective magnetic interactions and magnetic anisotropies are tied to the spin-orbit coupling, and how they influence the stability of skyrmions beyond the phenomenology.
