Energetic molding of chiral magnetic bubbles

Derek Lau, Vignesh Sundar, Jian-Gang Zhu, and Vincent Sokalski

Phys. Rev. B 94, 060401(R) (2016) - Published 1 August, 2016

Unique spin configurations in thin films, including skyrmions and chiral domain walls, present fascinating physical questions while also promising future, low-energy computing systems. The emergent interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), which stabilizes these features, greatly changes the energetic and symmetry-based arguments by which magnetic domains have previously been described. The authors here analyze the behavior of magnetic bubbles in thin films influenced by DMI using classical interface thermodynamics via the Wulff construction, originally conceived to describe crystal facets more than 100 years ago. The striking resemblance of experimentally observed domain shapes to those predicted theoretically suggests that a significant energetic driving force for domain growth exists due to an anisotropic wall energy term from the interfacial DMI. This description explains the observed reversal in growth symmetry found here in Co/Ni multilayer films while presenting a new paradigm for describing the broader behavior of chiral domain walls.

Influence of complex disorder on skew-scattering Hall effects in $L 1_{0}$ -ordered FePt alloy

Bernd Zimmermann, Nguyen H. Long, Phivos Mavropoulos, Stefan Blügel, and Yuriy Mokrousov

Phys. Rev. B 94, 060406(R) (2016) - Published 11 August, 2016

One of the key mechanisms for transverse spin-current generation in metals is the electron skew scattering off defects and impurities, where the spin-orbit interaction leads to an effective deflection of the electrons away from the direction of an applied electric field. Recently, there has been an intensive interest in the skew-scattering part of the Hall effects in an important spintronics material, $L 1_{0}$ -ordered FePt alloy, where conflicting data with regard to the skew-scattering magnitude have been reported in previous studies. To understand the reason for this controversy, the authors considered various sources of scattering in FePt and determined the skew scattering Hall angles from microscopic density functional theory calculations and Boltzmann transport theory. Based on their results, the authors are able to explain the extreme spread of available data for FePt with drastic dependence of the skew-scattering properties on the details of disorder.

Tuning the spin Hall effect of Pt from the moderately dirty to the superclean regime

Edurne Sagasta, Yasutomo Omori, Miren Isasa, Martin Gradhand, Luis E. Hueso, Yasuhiro Niimi, YoshiChika Otani, and Fèlix Casanova

Phys. Rev. B 94, 060412(R) (2016) - Published 30 August, 2016

The discovery of new spin-to-charge current conversion effects such as the spin Hall effect (SHE) is expanding the potential of spintronic applications. In contrast to the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), a systematic experimental study of the different mechanisms contributing to the SHE is lacking. Finding routes to maximize the SHE is not possible as long as it remains unclear which is the dominant mechanism in a material. The authors systematically study Pt, the prototypical SHE material, using the spin absorption method and find a single intrinsic spin Hall conductivity in a wide range of Pt conductivities, in good agreement with theory. By tuning the conductivity, they observe for the first time the crossover between the moderately dirty and the superclean scaling regimes of the SHE, equivalent to that obtained for the AHE. These results explain the dispersion of values in the literature and show a clear path to enhance this important effect.

Search for high- $T_{c}$ conventional superconductivity at megabar pressures in the lithium-sulfur system

Christian Kokail, Christoph Heil, and Lilia Boeri

Phys. Rev. B 94, 060502(R) (2016) - Published 1 August, 2016

Superconductivity at high-pressures has attracted considerable interest after the report of a record critical temperature ( $T_{c}$ ) of 203 K in sulfur hydride (H $_{3}$ S) at 200 GPa. In this work, the authors predict several novel lithium-sulfur compounds at high pressure using evolutionary crystal structure prediction techniques and investigate their superconducting properties with density functional linear response calculations. The calculations reveal an intrinsic correlation between superconductivity and real-space electron localization. We find that high- $T_{c}$ superconductivity in the Li-S system occurs at pressures much higher than in H $_{3}$ S, i.e., only when the electrode-like interstitial charge localization typical of alkali-metal compounds is suppressed. This is illustrated in the image, which shows a comparison of the electron-phonon spectral function $α^{2} F (ω)$ of Li $_{3}$ S in the low- pressure (panel $a$ , $T_{c} = 0$ K) and high-pressure phases (panel $c$ , $T_{c} = 80$ K), calculated at 500 GPa. The right panels of the image show that the increase in $T_{c}$ is accompanied by a shift of the electronic charge from $i n t e r s t i t i a l$ regions to Li-S bonds.

Direct measurement of interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in $X | CoFeB | MgO$ heterostructures with a scanning NV magnetometer $(X = Ta, TaN, and W)$

Phys. Rev. B 94, 064413 (2016) - Published 11 August, 2016

The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction (DMI) has recently attracted considerable interest owing to its fundamental role in the stabilization of chiral spin textures in ultrathin ferromagnets, which are interesting candidates for novel spintronic technologies. Here, the authors present an experimental study of the DMI strength that is induced in nanometer-thick CoFeB ferromagnetic thin films in contact with different nonmagnetic metal underlayers. They use a novel technique for noninvasive high-sensitivity sensing of magnetic field: a scanning nanomagnetometer based on the magnetic response of a single nitrogen-vacancy defect in diamond. The magnetic domain walls are mapped, the spin structure and type of domain wall determined, and the DMI strength extracted. Importantly, the authors find local variation of the DMI constant, which clearly suggests that local field mapping techniques are extremely important to study this physics.

Anisotropic thermodynamic and transport properties of single-crystalline ${CaKFe}_{4} {As}_{4}$

Since 2008, iron-based superconductors have been the focus of intense research. Unfortunately, the higher transition temperatures and most promising high-magnetic field properties have been associated with compounds that have to be chemically disordered, making it hard to fully understand their intrinsic properties. A fully ordered compound with near optimal properties would be ideal and CaKFe $_{4}$ As $_{4}$ appears to be that compound. In this work, the authors present detailed anisotropic, structural, thermodynamic, and transport measurements that, in addition to revealing high upper critical fields, also provide the basis for further understanding of this fully ordered, high- $T_{c}$ , iron-based superconductor. It is shown that CaKFe $_{4}$ As $_{4}$ has exceptionally large upper critical fields (in excess of 650 kOe and possibly as high as 900 kOe) as well as high $T_{c}$ values (35 K), which can be obtained and studied without any disorder-related effects obscuring or complicating the results.

Tuning Yu-Shiba-Rusinov states in a quantum dot

Anders Jellinggaard, Kasper Grove-Rasmussen, Morten Hannibal Madsen, and Jesper Nygård

Phys. Rev. B 94, 064520 (2016) - Published 29 August, 2016

Nanowire/superconductor hybrid devices are important systems that are currently used in many experimental programs. In these systems, deliberate or accidental quantum dots in the nanowire create Yu-Shiba-Rusinov subgap states when they couple to the superconductor. In this work, an array of bottom gates under an InAs nanowire is used to tune the coupling ( $Γ_{S}$ ) of individual quantum states to a superconductor as the system is probed with a weakly coupled normal lead. The paper includes measurements of a coupling-induced quantum phase transition as well as the Zeeman splitting of a subgap state for different values of $Γ_{S}$ . The authors analyze their data using an extension of the Anderson model and the numerical renormalization group procedure and give quantitative values for key parameters of the system.
