通过扭角工程化二维自旋螺旋,实现无外部磁场的拓扑磁性,为自旋电子学提供新方法。

摘要:

拓扑磁性,以拓扑保护的自旋纹理为特征,提供了丰富的物理现象和对自旋电子学的变革前景。然而,其稳定通常需要外部磁场,阻碍了直接实现。在此,我们报告了一种通用的无场方法,用于将二维拓扑平凡的自旋螺旋工程化为拓扑磁性。该方法利用了扭角反铁磁双层结构,其中两个子层中的锁定自旋螺旋在扭角下形成空间交替的铁磁和反铁磁域。这些域阻碍了均匀的反铁磁层间交换,从而自发稳定莫尔拓扑磁性,而无需外部磁场。通过第一性原理和原子自旋模型模拟,我们利用NiCl2和NiBr2双层作为代表性例子验证了这种方法。对于扭角NiCl2,我们预测了可通过扭角调节的拓扑自旋态,包括孤立的和高阶反铁磁双极子。对于扭角NiBr2,强摩擦产生平凡的三q自旋螺旋,其在施加垂直压缩应变时转化为莫尔拓扑磁性。我们的发现表明,拓扑非平凡的自旋纹理可以从其平凡的对应物中工程化,从而为拓扑自旋电子学提供了一种新范式。

英文摘要:

Topological magnetism, characterized by topologically protected spin textures, offers rich physics and transformative prospects for spintronics. However, its stabilization typically demands external magnetic fields, preventing straightforward implementation. Here, we report a universal field-free approach for engineering 2D topologically-trivial spin spirals into topological magnetisms. This approach leverages twisted antiferromagnetic bilayers, where locked spin spirals in the two sublayers form spatially alternating ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domains upon twisting. These domains frustrate the uniform antiferromagnetic interlayer exchange, spontaneously stabilizing moire topological magnetisms without external fields. Using first-principles and atomistic spin-model simulations, we validate this approach using bilayers NiCl2 and NiBr2, as representative examples. For twisted NiCl2, we predict topological spin states tunable by the twist angle, including isolated and high-order antiferromagnetic bimerons. For twisted NiBr2, strong frustration yields trivial triple-q spin spirals, which transform into moire topological magnetism with the application of vertical compressive strain. Our findings demonstrate that topologically non-trivial spin textures can be engineered from their trivial counterparts, thus providing a new paradigm for topological spintronics
