摘要:

本研究利用分子束外延(MBE)技术制备了高质量的拓扑半金属相NiTe$_2$薄膜,并通过具有明显Laue振荡的X射线衍射进行了确认。电输运实验表明,厚膜的性质与块体材料相似。通过共沉积方法,我们在较薄膜的生长过程中引入磁性或非磁性元素,显著改变了其电学性质。值得注意的是,磁性元素Cr诱导了长程铁磁有序,从而在NiTe2薄膜中观察到显著的反常霍尔效应。在远低于居里温度时,霍尔电导率几乎保持不变,表明其与能带结构的内禀拓扑性质相关。第一性原理能带计算支持通过磁性掺杂在该材料中产生Weyl半金属态。这些发现为探索更多磁性Weyl半金属材料以及基于拓扑半金属材料的低维量子器件铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

In this study, high-quality thin films of the topological semimetal phase NiTe$_2$ were prepared using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) technique, confirmed through X-ray diffraction with pronounced Laue oscillations. Electrical transport experiments reveal that thick films have properties similar to bulk materials. By employing co-deposition, we introduced either magnetic or non-magnetic elements during the growth of thinner films, significantly altering their electrical properties. Notably, magnetic element Cr induces long-range ferromagnetic ordering, leading to the observation of significant anomalous Hall effect in NiTe2 thin films. The Hall conductivity remains nearly constant well below the Curie temperature, indicating the correlation with the intrinsic topological nature of the band structure. Theoretical first principles band calculations support the generation of the Weyl semimetal state in the material through magnetic doping. These findings pave the way for exploring more magnetic Weyl semimetal materials and related low-dimensional quantum devices based on topological semimetal materials.
