被引用回数:17 パーセンタイル:76.87(Chemistry, Multidisciplinary)Magnetocrystalline anisotropy, a key ingredient for establishing long-range order in a magnetic material down to the two-dimensional (2D) limit, is generally associated with spin-orbit interaction (SOI) involving a finite orbital angular momentum. Here we report strong out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy without orbital angular momentum, emerging at the interface between two different van der Waals (vdW) materials, an archetypal metallic vdW material NbSe possessing Zeeman-type SOI and an isotropic vdW ferromagnet VSe. We found that the Zeeman SOI in NbSe induces robust out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy in VSe down to the 2D limit with a more than 2-fold enhancement of the transition temperature. We propose a simple model that takes into account the energy gain in NbSe in contact with a ferromagnet, which naturally explains our observations. Our results demonstrate a conceptually new magnetic proximity effect at the vdW interface, expanding the horizons of emergent phenomena achievable in vdW heterostructures.

被引用回数:31 パーセンタイル:74.76(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Infrared optical and inelastic X-ray scattering spectra have been systematically investigated in combination with first-principles calculations for paraelectric and antiferromagnetic perovskite SrBaMnO single crystals, which are close to a ferroelectric transition arising from off-center displacement of magnetic Mn ions. One optical phonon rapidly softens toward zero frequency at room temperature with increasing . This soft-mode behavior is also reproduced by the first-principles calculations, from which we have predicted the vibration mode of all the optical phonons. Below the antiferromagnetic-transition temperature, the soft mode hardens with decreasing temperature and then resoftens toward the lowest temperature.
