AI总结:

通过角分辨光电子能谱和密度泛函理论比较Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$和Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$的电子结构,发现Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$在T$_C$处无能带位移,表明其铁磁性主要由局域矩而非巡游电子驱动。

摘要:

二维(2D)材料中的磁性近年来引起了广泛关注,既出于对磁性的基本理解,也因其在器件应用中的可调性。同构的Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$和Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$是铁基范德华(vdW)铁磁体家族的两个成员,但它们的居里温度(T$_C$)分别为210 K和360 K,差异显著。本文利用角分辨光电子能谱和密度泛函理论,系统比较了这两种化合物的电子结构。两种化合物的费米面存在定性相似性,但Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$中扩大的空穴口袋表明其比Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$具有更多的空穴载流子。有趣的是,我们观察到Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$在其360 K的T$_C$附近没有能带位移,而Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$在其210 K的T$_C$附近有微小位移。这种弱的温度依赖性演化与巡游Stoner机制的预期严重偏离。我们的结果表明,与Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$相比,巡游电子对Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$中T$_C$的增强贡献极小,且这些铁基vdW铁磁体的铁磁性本质必须考虑电子关联来理解。

英文摘要:

Magnetism in two-dimensional (2D) materials has attracted considerable attention recently for both fundamental understanding of magnetism and their tunability towards device applications. The isostructural Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ and Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$ are two members of the Fe-based van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnet family, but exhibit very different Curie temperatures (T$_C$) of 210 K and 360 K, respectively. Here, by using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and density functional theory, we systematically compare the electronic structures of the two compounds. Qualitative similarities in the Fermi surface can be found between the two compounds, with expanded hole pockets in Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$ suggesting additional hole carriers compared to Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$. Interestingly, we observe no band shift in Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$ across its T$_C$ of 360 K, compared to a small shift in Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ across its T$_C$ of 210 K. The weak temperature-dependent evolution strongly deviates from the expectations of an itinerant Stoner mechanism. Our results suggest that itinerant electrons have minimal contributions to the enhancement of T$_C$ in Fe$_3$GaTe$_2$ compared to Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$, and that the nature of ferromagnetism in these Fe-based vdW ferromagnets must be understood with considerations of the electron correlations.
