Critical behavior of the quasi-two-dimensional semiconducting ferromagnet CrSiTe3

چکیده
The semiconducting ferromagnet CrSiTe3 is a promising candidate for two-dimensional magnet simply by exfoliating down to single layers. To understand the magnetic behavior in thin-film samples and the possible applications, it is necessary to establish the nature of the magnetism in the bulk. In this work, the critical behavior at the paramagnetic to ferromagnetic phase transition in single-crystalline CrSiTe3 is investigated by bulk magnetization measurements. We have obtained the critical exponents (β = 0.170 ± 0.008, γ = 1.532 ± 0.001, and δ = 9.917 ± 0.008) and the critical temperature TC = 31.0 K using various techniques such as modified Arrott plot, Kouvel-Fisher plot, and critical isotherm analysis. Our analysis suggests that the determined exponents match well with those calculated from the results of renormalization group approach for a two-dimensional Ising model coupled with long-range interaction.

Magnetic ground state of semiconducting transition metal trichalcogenide monolayers
Layered transition metal trichalcogenides with the chemical formula ABX3 have attracted recent interest as potential candidates for two-dimensional magnets. Using first-principles calculations within density functional theory, we investigate the magnetic ground states of monolayers of Mn-and Cr-based semiconducting trichalcogenides. We show that the second and third nearest-neighbor exchange in...

متن کاملQuasi-particle excitations in a ferromagnet, near a quantum critical point
The quasi-particle excitations of a ferromagnet, near a quantum critical point are examined. The weak ferromagnetic state is described by the Hubbard model. The effects of emission of absorption of Goldstone modes on the quasiparticles is examined, as are the effects of the incoherent spin–flip excitations. It is found that, unlike the strong ferromagnet, the Goldstone modes have negligibly sma...
متن کاملStrongly Anisotropic Ballistic Magnetoresistance in Compact Three-Dimensional Semiconducting Nanoarchitectures.
We establish theoretically that in nonmagnetic semiconducting bilayer or multilayer thin film systems rolled up into compact quasi-one-dimensional nanoarchitectures, the ballistic magnetoresistance is very anisotropic: conductances depend strongly on the direction of an externally applied magnetic field. This phenomenon originates from the curved open geometry of rolled-up nanotubes, which lead...
متن کاملLarge Bandgap Shrinkage from Doping and Dielectric Interface in Semiconducting Carbon Nanotubes
The bandgap of a semiconductor is one of its most important electronic properties. It is often considered to be a fixed property of the semiconductor. As the dimensions of semiconductors reduce, however, many-body effects become dominant. Here, we show that doping and dielectric, two critical features of semiconductor device manufacturing, can dramatically shrink (renormalize) the bandgap. We d...
