Quantum anomalous Hall effect in a three-dimensional topological-insulator–thin-film-ferromagnetic-metal heterostructure

چکیده
We theoretically show that the three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI)/thin-film ferromagnetic metal (FMM) heterostructure is possible to be a quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) with wide global band gap. Studying structure and weight distributions of eigenstates, we demonstrate attachment metallic thin film on 3DTI can shift topologically nontrivial state into layers due hybridization bands around original Dirac point. By introducing magnetic exchange interaction in thin-film layers, compute conductivity anisotropy suggest appearance wider gap realizing QAH effect than usual materials, such as magnetically doped films 3DTI/ferromagnetic heterostructures. Our results indicate 3DTI/thin-film FMM may implement even at room temperature, which will pave way experimental realization other exotic phenomena.

متن کاملQuantum Anomalous Hall Effect in Graphene-based Heterostructure
Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, with potential applications in low-power-consumption electronics, is predicted in the heterostructure of graphene on the (001) surface of a real antiferromagnetic insulator RbMnCl3, based on density-functional theory and Wannier function methods. Due to the interactions from the substrate, a much large exchange field (about 280 meV) and an enhanced Rashba sp...
متن کاملInverse spin Hall effect in a complex ferromagnetic oxide heterostructure
We present spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in an epitaxial complex oxide heterostructure. Ferromagnetic La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 (LSMO) is used as a source of spin pumping while the spin sink exhibiting the ISHE consists of SrRuO3 (SRO). SRO is a ferromagnetic oxide with metallic conductivity, however, with a Curie temperature (TC) of 155 K, thus well below room temperature. This choice ...
متن کاملAnomalous Hall effect in ferromagnetic disordered metals
The anomalous Hall effect in disordered band ferromagnets is considered in the framework of quantum transport theory. A microscopic model of electrons in a random potential of identical impurities including spin-orbit coupling is used. The Hall conductivity is calculated from the Kubo formula for both, the skew scattering and the side-jump mechanisms. The recently discussed Berry phase induced ...
متن کاملAnomalous Hall effect in ferromagnetic semiconductors.
We present a theory of the anomalous Hall effect in ferromagnetic (III, Mn)V semiconductors. Our theory relates the anomalous Hall conductance of a homogeneous ferromagnet to the Berry phase acquired by a quasiparticle wave function upon traversing closed paths on the spin-split Fermi surface. The quantitative agreement between our theory and experimental data in both (In, Mn)As and (Ga, Mn)As ...
