AI总结:

本文利用倾斜电子束低能电子显微镜研究Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$的表面磁性,测得表面临界指数β$_1$=0.79±0.02,符合三维半无限Heisenberg或Ising模型,并发现Fe位缺陷导致反演对称性破缺,从而支持斯格明子形成。

摘要:

通过低能电子显微镜(LEEM)并采用偏离法线入射的电子束,研究了Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$的表面磁化。我们发现180°畴壁为Bloch型。随温度变化的LEEM测量给出了表面磁化,其表面临界指数为β$_1$ = 0.79 ± 0.02。该结果与三维半无限Heisenberg模型(β$_1$ = 0.84 ± 0.01)或Ising模型(β$_1$ = 0.78 ± 0.02)中的表面磁性一致,并且与体临界指数(β = 0.34 ± 0.07)明显不同。这些测量揭示了倾斜电子束LEEM在确定量子材料磁畴结构方面的能力。单晶衍射测量揭示了破坏反演对称性的弱峰,并给出空间群P-6m2。这种由Fe位缺陷导致的反演对称性丧失使得该Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$晶体中能够形成斯格明子。

英文摘要:

The surface magnetization of Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ was examined by low-energy electron microscopy (LEEM) using an off-normal incidence electron beam. We found that the 180$^o$ domain walls are of Bloch type. Temperature-dependent LEEM measurements yield a surface magnetization with a surface critical exponent $β$1 = 0.79 +/- 0.02. This result is consistent with surface magnetism in the 3D semi-infinite Heisenberg ($β$1 = 0.84 +/- 0.01) or Ising ($β$1 = 0.78 +/- 0.02) models, which is distinctly different from the bulk exponent ($β$ = 0.34 +/- 0.07). The measurements reveal the power of LEEM with a tilted beam to determine magnetic domain structure in quantum materials. Single crystal diffraction measurements reveal inversion symmetry-breaking weak peaks and yield space group P-6m2. This Fe site defect-derived loss of inversion symmetry enables the formation of skyrmions in this Fe$_3$GeTe$_2$ crystal.
