AI总结:

本文研究高熵合金Mn--Nb--Mo--Ta--W/CoFeB双层中的自旋霍尔效应,发现其自旋霍尔角可达0.12,与Pt相当,表明该bcc相高熵合金是适用于自旋电子学器件的优良自旋霍尔材料。

摘要:

高熵合金(HEAs)表现出多种物理性质,例如结构材料的高显微硬度和催化方面的高效率。这些特性被认为是五种或更多元素产生的鸡尾酒效应,由于高构型熵而稳定单相固溶体。高熵合金还可能表现出短程有序和微畸变,从而导致系统的局域对称性破缺。具有局域对称性破缺的体系对于自旋相关输运(例如自旋霍尔效应)具有重要研究价值。在本研究中,制备了高熵合金Mn--Nb--Mo--Ta--W及相关合金的溅射薄膜样品;这些薄膜与铁磁CoFeB形成叠层。所有样品均仅表现出源自体心立方(bcc)相的X射线衍射峰,透射电子显微镜图像表明不存在第二相且元素分布均匀。研究了自旋霍尔磁电阻(SMR),并在所有样品中观察到明显的电阻变化。SMR的定量分析表明,高熵合金和Nb--Mo--Ta--W合金(中熵合金(MEA))的自旋霍尔角($θ_\mathrm{SH}$)分别为0.12 $\pm$ 0.002和0.14 $\pm$ 0.037。高熵合金和中熵合金的$θ_\mathrm{SH}$与Pt相当,Pt是一种典型的具有相对较大$θ_\mathrm{SH}$的重元素。新开发的高熵合金和中熵合金薄膜是具有bcc相的有吸引力的自旋霍尔材料,适用于使用CoFeB和MgO势垒的磁性隧道结的自旋电子学应用。

英文摘要:

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) exhibit various physical properties, such as high microhardness for structured materials and high efficiency for catalysis. These features are recognized as a cocktail effect of five or more elements that stabilize a single-phase solid solution due to a high configurational entropy. HEAs may also exhibit short-range orders and microdistorshons, which cause the local symmetry breaking of systems. Systems with local symmetry breaking are of interest for spin-dependent transport, such as for spin Hall effects. In this study, sputtered-film samples of an HEA, Mn--Nb--Mo--Ta--W, and related alloys, were fabricated; these films were layered with ferromagnetic CoFeB. All samples exhibited x-ray diffraction peaks originating only from a body-centered cubic (bcc) phase, and transmission electron microscopy images indicated the absence of secondary phases and uniform elemental distributions. The spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) was investigated, and clear resistance changes were observed in all the samples. Quantitative analysis of SMR revealed that the spin Hall angle ($θ_\mathrm{SH}$) was 0.12 $\pm$ 0.002 and 0.14 $\pm$ 0.037 for the HEA and Nb--Mo--Ta--W alloy (medium-entropy alloy (MEA)), respectively. The $θ_\mathrm{SH}$s of the HEA and MEA were comparable to that of Pt which is a typical heavy element with relatively large $θ_\mathrm{SH}$. The newly developed HEA and MEA films are attractive spin Hall materials with the bcc phase and are suitable for spintronic applications using magnetic tunnel junctions with CoFeB and an MgO barrier.
