Layer-by-layer epitaxial thin films of the pyrochlore Tb2Ti2O7.
Layer-by-layer epitaxial growth of the pyrochlore magnet Tb2Ti2O7 on the isostructural substrate Y2Ti2O7 results in high-quality single crystal films of up to 60 nm thickness. Substrate-induced strain is shown to act as a strong and controlled perturbation to the exotic magnetism of Tb2Ti2O7, opening up the general prospect of strain-engineering the diverse magnetic and electrical properties of...
متن کاملTheory of Multifarious Quantum Phases and Large Anomalous Hall Effect in Pyrochlore Iridate Thin Films
We theoretically investigate emergent quantum phases in the thin film geometries of the pyrochore iridates, where a number of exotic quantum ground states are proposed to occur in bulk materials as a result of the interplay between electron correlation and strong spin-orbit coupling. The fate of these bulk phases as well as novel quantum states that may arise only in the thin film platforms, ar...
متن کاملOdd-parity magnetoresistance in pyrochlore iridate thin films with broken time-reversal symmetry
A new class of materials termed topological insulators have been intensively investigated due to their unique Dirac surface state carrying dissipationless edge spin currents. Recently, it has been theoretically proposed that the three dimensional analogue of this type of band structure, the Weyl Semimetal phase, is materialized in pyrochlore oxides with strong spin-orbit coupling, accompanied b...
متن کاملTopological Magnon Bands and Unconventional Superconductivity in Pyrochlore Iridate Thin Films.
We theoretically study the magnetic properties of pyrochlore iridate bilayer and trilayer thin films grown along the [111] direction using a strong coupling approach. We find the ground state magnetic configurations on a mean field level and carry out a spin-wave analysis about them. In the trilayer case the ground state is found to be the all-in-all-out (AIAO) state, whereas the bilayer has a ...
متن کاملEpitaxial growth of thin films
The term ‘epitaxial’ is applied to a film grown on top of the crystalline substrate in ordered fashion that atomic arrangement of the film accepts crystallographic structure of the substrate. Epitaxial growth is one of the most important techniques to fabricate various ‘state of the art’ electronic and optical devices. Modern devices require very sophisticated structure, which are composed of t...
