The Magnetic Field

The layered antiferromagnetic MnBi2Te4 films have been proposed to be an intrinsic quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator with a large gap. It is crucial to open a magnetic gap of surface states. However, recent experiments have observed gapless surface states, indicating the absence of out-of-plane surface magnetism, and thus, the quantized Hall resistance can only be achieved at the magnetic field above 6 T. We propose to induce out-of-plane surface magnetism of MnBi2Te4 films via the magnetic proximity with magnetic insulator CrI3. A strong exchange bias of ∼40 meV originates from the long Cr-eg orbital tails that hybridize strongly with Te p orbitals. By stabilizing surface magnetism, the QAH effect can be realized in the MnBi2Te4/CrI3 heterostructure. Moreover, the high–Chern number QAH state can be achieved by controlling external electric gates. Thus, the MnBi2Te4/CrI3 heterostructure provides a promising platform to realize the electrically tunable zero-field QAH effect.

ABSTRACTWe have sputter-deposited NiO-Co bilayers on MgO (001) substrates. NiO grows epitaxially on MgO at 900°C and subsequently the room deposited 80 Åthick Co films have a fcc crystal structure in epitaxy with the oxide underlayer. These samples were warmed up to 300° C and then zero-field or field cooled through the NiO Néel temperature (a 300 Oe magnetic field was applied along the [100] or the [110] MgO axis). Magnetic hysteresis loops were obtained by magneto-optical Kerr effect, the magnetic field being oriented in the plane of the substrate for various angles α with respect to the [100] direction. The usually expected behavior for such experiments is a smooth angular α dependence of the exchange bias HE close to a cosine with only one sign change over 180°. The high crystallographic coherence of our NiO/Co bilayers induces a very unusual oscillatory HE (α) dependence with several sign changes according to the NiO axis field application. Despite of the Co magnetization switching mechanism which is not a pure coherent rotation, we propose a Stoner-Wohlfhart model including four fold anisotropy and unidirectional exchange anisotropy giving a realistic description of these typical magnetic properties.

AbstractMagnetic topological insulators (TI) provide an important material platform to explore quantum phenomena such as quantized anomalous Hall effect and Majorana modes, etc. Their successful material realization is thus essential for our fundamental understanding and potential technical revolutions. By realizing a bulk van der Waals material MnBi4Te7 with alternating septuple [MnBi2Te4] and quintuple [Bi2Te3] layers, we show that it is ferromagnetic in plane but antiferromagnetic along the c axis with an out-of-plane saturation field of ~0.22 T at 2 K. Our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements and first-principles calculations further demonstrate that MnBi4Te7 is a Z2 antiferromagnetic TI with two types of surface states associated with the [MnBi2Te4] or [Bi2Te3] termination, respectively. Additionally, its superlattice nature may make various heterostructures of [MnBi2Te4] and [Bi2Te3] layers possible by exfoliation. Therefore, the low saturation field and the superlattice nature of MnBi4Te7 make it an ideal system to investigate rich emergent phenomena.

AbstractInAs/(GaIn)Sb superlattice photodiodes with a cutoff wavelength of 8.711μm show adynamic impedance of R0A= 1.5 kωcm2at 77 K and a responsivity of 2 A/W, corresponding to a detectivity of D*= 1 x 1012 cmv√Hz/W. Diffusion limited performance is observed above 100 K. At lower temperatures the diodesare limited by generation-recombination currents. An analysis of the influence of different diode sidewall passivations on the surface contribution to the diode leakage current is presented. The out-of-plane electron mobility as well as the relative contributions of the electron and hole diffusion currents to the diode current were determined by a measurement of the magnetic field dependence of the reverse saturation current density of the diodes

The Magnetic Field

The applicability of magnetocaloric materials is limited by irreversibility. In this work, we evaluate the reversible magnetocaloric response associated with magnetoelastic transitions in the framework of the Bean-Rodbell model. This model allows the description of both second- and first-order magnetoelastic transitions by the modification of the η parameter (η<1 for second-order and η>1 for first-order ones). The response is quantified via the Temperature-averaged Entropy Change (TEC), which has been shown to be an easy and effective figure of merit for magnetocaloric materials. A strong magnetic field dependence of TEC is found for first-order transitions, having a significant increase when the magnetic field is large enough to overcome the thermal hysteresis of the material observed at zero field. This field value, as well as the magnetic field evolution of the transition temperature, strongly depend on the atomic magnetic moment of the material. For a moderate magnetic field change of 2 T, first-order transitions with η≈1.3−1.8 have better TEC than those corresponding to stronger first-order transitions and even second-order ones.

Zero-field level-crossing techniques have been used to measure some upper-state lifetimes of the helium atom. The half-widths of curves obtained by plotting the polarization against the magnetic field strength for the n1D–21D transitions yielded lifetimes of 2.03 × 10−8 s for the 31D state, 3.36 × 10−8 s for the 41D state, and 7.44 × 10−8 s for the 51D state. Collision cross sections for these 1D levels were also determined.

AbstractMolecularly soft organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites are susceptible to dynamic instabilities of the lattice called octahedral tilt, which directly impacts their carrier transport and exciton-phonon coupling. Although the structural phase transitions associated with octahedral tilt has been extensively studied in 3D hybrid halide perovskites, its impact in hybrid 2D perovskites is not well understood. Here, we used scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to directly visualize surface octahedral tilt in freshly exfoliated 2D Ruddlesden-Popper perovskites (RPPs) across the homologous series, whereby the steric hindrance imposed by long organic cations is unlocked by exfoliation. The experimentally determined octahedral tilts from n = 1 to n = 4 RPPs from STM images are found to agree very well with out-of-plane surface octahedral tilts predicted by density functional theory calculations. The surface-enhanced octahedral tilt is correlated to excitonic redshift observed in photoluminescence (PL), and it enhances inversion asymmetry normal to the direction of quantum well and promotes Rashba spin splitting for n > 1.

We report the exchange bias properties in the bulk Ni45Co5Mn38Sn12quaternary Heusler alloy. The ferromagnetic (FM) –antiferromagnetic (AFM) interactions get reinforced after the Co substitution for Ni in the Ni-Mn-Sn alloy, which increase the exchange bias field (HE). A maximum shift in hysteresis loops of 306 Oe was observed in the 10 kOe field cooled sample. The origin of this large exchange bias field has been discussed. Magnetic hysteresis loop obtained in the zero field cooled (ZFC) mode shows double-shifted loop, and the reason of this phenomenon has been explained in detail.

Observing the change of the Hanle effect under the influence of a homogeneous electric field E the Stark effect of the (5p1/25d5/2)j=2-state in Sn I was studied. Due to the tensorial part β Jz2E2 in the Hamiltonian of the second order Stark effect the signal of the zero field crossing (M ∓ 2, M′ = 0 β ≷ 0 ) is shifted to the magnetic field H with gJμBH=2 | β | E2. From these shifts for different electric field strengths the value of the Stark parameter|β| = 0.21(2) MHz/(kV/cm)2 · gJ/1.13was deduced. A theoretical value of ß using Coulomb wave functions is discussed.
