AI 中文摘要
局域矩体系中的拓扑自旋纹理因具有大磁矩、强自旋轨道耦合(SOC)及高可调性,在技术应用中展现出巨大潜力。寻找在室温附近稳定的新型自旋纹理,对最大化其应用潜力至关重要。本研究提出一种通过识别在室温或近室温有序的稀土(R)磁体,实现高温下拓扑自旋纹理的策略。我们在其中一种磁体——六角结构的Gd₅Pb₃中验证了该策略的可行性,其居里温度T_C=285 K。拓扑自旋纹理的证据来自拓扑霍尔效应(THE),在Gd₅Pb₃中,该效应出现在T=100-200 K的温度区间,比其他已报道的稀土基体系高出一个数量级。我们的研究为探索SOC、各向异性交换、几何阻挫及磁相互作用在稳定拓扑自旋纹理中的作用提供了契机,并为在稀土基磁体中实现近室温拓扑自旋纹理提供了途径。
英文摘要
Topological spin textures in local moment systems hold great promise for technological applications due to their large magnetic moments, strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC), and high tunability. Finding new spin textures that are stable near room temperature is paramount to maximizing their potential for applications. Here, we provide a strategy for realizing topological spin textures at high temperatures by identifying rare earth ($R$) magnets ordering at or near room temperature. We demonstrate the feasibility of this strategy in one of these magnets, hexagonal Gd$_5$Pb$_3$, which orders at $T_C$ = 285 K. The indication for topological spin textures comes from topological Hall effect (THE), which, in Gd$_5$Pb$_3$, occurs between $T$ = 100 - 200 K, an order of magnitude higher temperature than in other reported $R$-based systems. Our results present an opportunity to explore the role of SOC, anisotropic exchange, geometric frustration, and magnetic interactions in stabilizing topological spin textures, and provide a pathway toward realizing them near room temperature in $R$-based magnets.
