Topological Surface State Annihilation and Creation in SnTe/Crx(BiSb)2-xTe3 Heterostructures

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Peng Deng, Alexander Grutter, Yulei Han, Megan E. Holtz, Peng Zhang, Patrick Quarterman, Shuaihang Pan, Shifei Qi, Zhenhua Qiao, Kang L. Wang
Topological surface states are a new class of electronic states with novel properties, including the potential for annihilation between surface states from two topological insulators at a common interface. Here, we report the annihilation and creation of

Engineering Magnetic Anisotropy and Emergent Multidirectional Soft Ferromagnetism in Ultrathin Freestanding LaMnO 3 Films

Qinwen Lu, Zhiwei Liu, Qun Yang, Hui Cao, Purnima P. Balakrishnan, Qing Wang, Long Cheng, Yalin Lu, Jian-Min Zuo, Hua Zhou, Patrick Quarterman, Shinichiro N. Muramoto, Alexander Grutter, Hanghui Chen, Xiaofang Zhai
Owing to their small coercive fields and weak magnetic anisotropy, soft ferromagnetic films are extremely useful for nanoscale devices that need to easily switch spin directions. However, they are rare, particularly when a film thickness is reduced to a

Understanding Signatures of Emergent Magnetism in Topological Insulator/Ferrite Bilayers

Lauren J. Riddiford, Alexander Grutter, Timothy Pillsbury, Max Stanley, Danielle Reifsnyder Hickey, Peng Li, Nasim Alem, Nitin Samarth, Yuri Suzuki
Magnetic insulator and topological insulator heterostructures have been studied in search of induced magnetism in the topological insulator, but chiral edge states have been elusive. We have identified MgAl 0.5Fe 1.5O 4/Bi 2Se 3 bilayers for a possible

Wilson Yanez, Yongxi Ou, Run Xiao, Jahyun Koo, Jacob T. Held, Supriya Ghosh, Jeffrey Rable, Timothy Pillsbury, Enrique Gonzalez Delgado, Kezhou Yang, Juan Chamorro, Alexander Grutter, Patrick Quarterman, Anthony Richardella, Abhronil Sengupta, Tyrel M. McQueen, Julie Borchers, K. A. Mkhoyan, Binghai Yan, Nitin Samarth
We report spin-to-charge and charge-to-spin conversion at room temperature in heterostructure devices that interface an archetypal Dirac semimetal, Cd 3As 2, with a metallic ferromagnet,Ni 0.80Fe 0.20 (permalloy). The spin-charge interconversion is

Magnetic Field-Induced Non-Trivial Electronic Topology in Fe 3-x GeTe 2

Juan Macy, Danilo Ratkovski, Purnima P. Balakrishnan, Mara Strungaru, Yu-Che Chiu, Aikaterini Flessa, Alex Moon, Wenkai Zheng, Ashley Weiland, Gregory T. McCandless, Julia Y. Chan, Govind S. Kumar, Michael Shatruk, Alexander Grutter, Julie Borchers, William D. Ratcliff, Eun S. Choi, Elton J. Santos, Luis Balicas
The anomalous Hall, Nernst and thermal Hall coefficients of the itinerant ferromagnet Fe 3−xGeTe 2 display several features upon cooling, like a reversal in the Nernst signal below T = 50 K pointing to a topological transition possibly associated to the

Antiferromagnetic VdW Phase at the Interface of Sputtered Topological Insulator/Ferromagnet Bi 2 Te 3 /Ni 80 Fe 2 0 Heterostructures

Nina Andrejevic, Zhantao Chen, Thanh Nguyen, Leon Fan, Henry Heiberger, Valeria Lauter, Ling-Jie Zhou, Yi-Fan Zhao, Cui-Zu Chang, Alexander Grutter, Mingda Li
Polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) is a powerful technique to interrogate the structures of multilayered magnetic materials with depth sensitivity and nanometer resolution. However, reflectometry profiles often inhabit a complicated objective function

Magnetic proximity effect in magnetic-insulator/heavy-metal heterostructures across the compensation temperature
