AI总结:

研究Cr基Janus过渡金属硫族化物的巨自旋轨道力矩,发现其因结构反演对称性破缺产生巨大Rashba劈裂,SOT性能优异且支持无场垂直磁化翻转,是SOT-MRAM器件的理想候选。

摘要:

我们报道了铬基过渡金属硫族化物(TMD)在其Janus形式CrXTe(X=S,Se)下具有非常大的自旋轨道力矩(SOT)能力。Janus结构固有的结构反演对称性破缺导致了巨大的Rashba劈裂,从而产生巨大的SOT响应,这等效于在非Janus结构的CrTe₂中施加~100 V nm⁻¹的横向电场,完全超出了实验可达范围。通过对定制的Wannier紧束缚模型进行输运模拟,发现Janus系统展现出与最高效二维材料相当的SOT性能,同时由于其面内对称性降低,允许无场垂直磁化翻转。总之,我们的研究结果表明磁性Janus TMD是终极SOT-MRAM器件的合适候选者。

英文摘要:

We report a very large spin-orbit torque (SOT) capability of chromium-based transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) in their Janus forms CrXTe, with X=S,Se. The structural inversion symmetry breaking, inherent to Janus structures is responsible for a large SOT response generated by giant Rashba splitting, equivalent to that obtained by applying a transverse electric field of $\sim 100 \,\text{V} \,\text{nm}^{-1}$ in non-Janus CrTe\textsubscript{2}, completely out of experimental reach. By performing transport simulations on custom-made Wannier tight-binding models, Janus systems are found to exhibit a SOT performance comparable to the most efficient two-dimensional materials, while allowing for field-free perpendicular magnetization switching owing to their reduced in-plane symmetry. Altogether, our findings evidence that magnetic Janus TMDs stand as suitable candidates for ultimate SOT-MRAM devices.
