One-dimensional band structure in quasi-two-dimensional $$eta$$-Mo$$_4$$O$$_{11}$$ revealed by angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles calculation

角田 一樹; 檜垣 聡太*; 佐藤 仁*; 水流 大地*; 宮本 幸治*; 奥田 太一*; 黒岩 芳弘*; 森吉 千佳子*; 高瀬 浩一*; 小口 多美夫*; et al.

Journal of the Physical Society of Japan, 92(8), p.084706_1 - 084706_6, 2023/08

We investigated the electronic structure of $$eta$$-Mo$$_4$$O$$_{11}$$ bulk crystal in the whole Brillouin zone at a normal metallic state by utilizing resonant and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopies and first-principles calculations. Mo 4$$p$$-4$$d$$ resonant photoelectron experiment revealed that the Mo 4$$d$$ electrons of MoO$$_6$$ octahedra mainly contributed to the electrical conductivity. We also demonstrated that the free electron-like band dispersions along $$k_b$$ axis, consisting of Mo 4$$d_{xy}$$ electrons, do not show clear $$k_a$$ and $$k_c$$ dependences and formed a one-dimensional Fermi surface even at the normal state. The observed low-dimensional and anisotropic band structures are expected to induce exotic physical properties such as quantized bulk Hall effect, charge density wave transitions, and Luttinger liquid behavior.

We study ultrafast population dynamics in the topological surface state of Sb$$_2$$Te$$_3$$ in two-dimensional momentum space with time- and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopy. Linear polarized mid-infrared pump pulses are used to permit a direct optical excitation across the Dirac point. We show that this resonant excitation is strongly enhanced within the Dirac cone along three of the six $$bar{Gamma}$$-$$bar{M}$$ directions and results in a macroscopic photocurrent when the plane of incidence is aligned along a $$bar{Gamma}$$-$$bar{K}$$ direction. Our experimental approach makes it possible to disentangle the decay of transiently excited population and photocurent by elastic and inelastic electron scattering within the full Dirac cone in unprecedented detail. This is utilized to show that doping of Sb$$_2$$Te$$_3$$ by vanadium atoms strongly enhances inelastic electron scattering to lower energies, but only scarcely affects elastic scattering around the Dirac cone.

角田 一樹; 桜庭 裕弥*; 木村 昭夫*

固体物理, 58(3), p.117 - 137, 2023/03

ホイスラー合金はX$$_2$$YZの組成式で書き表すことのできる典型的な金属間化合物である。X, Y, Zの各サイトを占める元素は実に多彩であり、X, Yサイトには遷移金属元素やランタノイド元素、アクチノイド元素が入ることが多く、ZサイトにはAl, Ga, Inなどの典型元素が入ることが多い。元素の組み合わせによって実現可能な合金は1000種類を超え、ハーフメタル性、形状記憶効果、熱電特性など様々な機能性が発現する。本稿では、ハーフメタル性や巨大熱電特性が観測されている強磁性Co基ホイスラー合金の「電子構造と機能性の対応関係」に焦点を当て、最近の光電子分光を用いた研究成果や今後の展望を紹介する。

This study focuses on an inverse-type Heusler alloy, Mn$$_{2-delta}$$CoGa$$_{1+delta}$$ (MCG), with a small off-stoichiometry ($$delta$$), showing perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). We observed a relatively large uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy constant ($$K_mathrm{u}$$) on the order of 10$$^5$$ J/m$$^3$$ at room temperature in the MCG films with a small tetragonal distortion of a few percent. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) was employed to get insight into the origin for the PMA. Negligible angular variation of the orbital magnetic moment evaluated using the XMCD spectra suggested a minor role of the so-called Bruno's term to $$K_mathrm{u}$$. The origin of the PMA was discussed based on the second-order perturbation theory in terms of the spin-orbit coupling, and first principles calculations, claiming that the mixing of the occupied $$uparrow$$- and the unoccupied $$downarrow$$-spin states is responsible for the PMA of the MCG films.

軟X線放射光を用いた角度分解光電子分光法を、1nmのAlキャッピング層を有するホイスラー型Co$$_2$$MnGa薄膜に適用した。バルクのフェルミ面とバンド構造は、表面処理を行っていないにもかかわらず、3次元の結晶構造に由来する面外方向の運動量に沿って変化していた。さらに、フェルミ準位付近に交点を持つ特徴的な交差バンド(ワイルコーン)が存在し、計算結果と一致していた。ワイルコーンはバルク由来のもので、高い異常ネルンスト係数と異常ホール係数の原因となっている。Co$$_2$$MnGeとCo$$_2$$MnGaのバンド構造を詳細に比較した結果、両合金とも剛体バンド描像が有効であり、異常伝導性を改善するためにGaをGeに置き換えることでキャリアの微調整が可能であることが示された。

Heusler alloys exhibit various magnetic properties. In this study, a layered sample consisting of a Heusler alloy, Mn$$_{2}$$VAl and a ferromagnet, Fe, is selected as a material system exhibiting exchange bias. Although the fully ordered Mn$$_{2}$$VAl is known as a ferrimagnet, the Mn$$_{2}$$VAl/Fe layered structure exhibits exchange bias. The high-angle annular dark field STEM images demonstrated the formation of Mn$$_{2}$$VAl clusters with the L2$$_{1}$$ phase distributed only around the interface to the Fe layer in the sample. Furthermore, the antiferromagnetic coupling between the Mn- and Fe-moments were observed in element specific hysteresis loops measured using XMCD. The locally ordered L2$$_{1}$$ phase and antiferromagnetic Mn-moments in the Mn$$_{2}$$VAl layer are important for the exchange bias.

Topological insulators (TIs) characterized by gapless and spin-polarized band dispersion on their surfaces have been extensively studied over the last decade. This article reviews our recent works on ultrafast carrier dynamics of Sb$$_2$$Te$$_3$$-based nonmagnetic and magnetic TIs by utilizing state-of-the-art femtosecond time- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy. We have demonstrated that the electronic recovery time elongated from a few ps to $$>$$ 400 ps in the series of (Sb$$_{1-x}$$Bi$$_x$$)$$_2$$Te$$_3$$. We also investigated how the magnetic-impurity affects the carrier dynamics in ferromagnetic Sb$$_{2-y}$$V$$_y$$Te$$_3$$. It was found that the electronic recovery time drastically shortened from a few ps to $$<$$ 500 fs with increasing vanadium concentration. Since the lifetime of the nonequilibrated surface Dirac fermions can range from femto- to nano-second, Sb$$_2$$Te$$_3$$-based TIs would be promising for ultrafast spin switching and spin-polarized current generation device applications.

日本物理学会誌, 75(12), p.756 - 760, 2020/12

By using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigate the ultrafast carrier dynamics in the series of (Sb,Bi)$$_{2}$$Te$$_{3}$$. We show that the electronic recovery time for the surface Dirac fermions is prolonged to $$>$$ 400 ps when the charge neutrality point is approached. We also discuss the emergence of light-induced functionalizations such as surface photovoltage effect in the ultrafast time-domain. Our study strengthens the route toward the Dirac materials to be an opto-spintronic application.

Weyl semimetals are characterized by the presence of massless band dispersion in momentum space. When a Weyl semimetal meets magnetism, large anomalous transport properties emerge as a consequence of its topological nature. Here, using in-situ spin- and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy combined with ab initio calculations, we visualize the spin-polarized Weyl cone and flat-band surface states of ferromagnetic Co$$_2$$MnGa films with full remanent magnetization. We demonstrate that the anomalous Hall and Nernst conductivities systematically grow when the magnetization-induced massive Weyl cone at a Lifshitz quantum critical point approaches the Fermi energy, until a high anomalous Nernst thermopower of $$sim$$6.2 $$mu$$VK$$^{-1}$$ is realized at room temperature. Given this topological quantum state and full remanent magnetization, Co$$_2$$MnGa films are promising for realizing high efficiency heat flux and magnetic field sensing devices operable at room temperature and zero-field.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) spectroscopy were applied at the Ge (Ga) $$L_{2,3}$$ edge to unravel the spin-resolved unoccupied electronic states of Co$$_{2}$$MnGe (Ga). Complicated spectral features were observed in both XAS and XMCD spectra. For their interpretation, we compared the experimental XAS and XMCD spectra with the calculated Ge (Ga) 4$$s$$ and 4$$d$$ orbital partial density of states. The comparison enabled a qualitative explanation of the XMCD spectra as the difference between the majority and minority-spin unoccupied density of states summed over the 4$$s$$ and 4$$d$$ orbitals. Our finding provides a new approach to uncover the spin-split partial density of states above the Fermi level.

Modification of the gap at the Dirac point (DP) in axion antiferromagnetic topological insulator MnBi$$_{2}$$Te$$_{4}$$ and its electronic and spin structure have been studied by angle- and spin-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) under laser excitation at various temperatures, light polarizations and photon energies. We have distinguished both large and reduced gaps at the DP in the ARPES dispersions, which remain open above the N$'{e}$el temperature of $$T_textrm{N}$$ = 24.5 K. We propose that the gap above $$T_textrm{N}$$ remains open due to a short-range magnetic field generated by chiral spin fluctuations. Spin-resolved ARPES, XMCD and circular dichroism ARPES measurements show a surface ferromagnetic ordering for the large gap sample and apparently significantly reduced effective magnetic moment for the reduced gap sample.

Spintronics devices utilizing a magnetic domain wall motion have attracted increasing attention, and ferrimagentic materials with almost compensated magnetic moments are highly required to realize the fast magnetic domain wall motion. Here, we report a key function for this purpose in anti-perovskite Co$$_{x}$$Mn$$_{4-x}$$N films. Perpendicular magnetization emerges for $$0.8 leq x$$, and the saturation magnetization reaches a minimum value at $$x = 0.8$$.

Resonant photoelectron spectroscopy at the Co and Mn 2${it p}$ core absorption edges of half-metallic Co$$_{2}$$MnGe has been performed to determine the element-specific density of states (DOS). A significant contribution of the Mn 3${it d}$ partial DOS near the Fermi level ($$E_{F}$$) was clarified by measurement at the Mn 2${it p}$ absorption edge. Further analysis by first-principles calculation revealed that it has $$t_{2g}$$ symmetry, which must be responsible for the electrical conductivity along the line perpendicular to the film plane. The dominant normal Auger contribution observed at the Co 2${it p}$ absorption edge indicates delocalization of photoexcited Co 3${it d}$ electrons. The difference in the degrees of localization of the Mn 3${it d}$ and Co 3${it d}$ electrons in Co$$_{2}$$MnGe is explained by the first-principles calculation.

We systematically investigate the magnetic, structural and electronic properties and the ultrafast carrier dynamics in a series of V-doped Sb$$_{2}$$Te$$_{3}$$ samples of composition Sb$$_{2-x}$$V$$_{x}$$Te$$_{3}$$ with x = 0, 0.015 and 0.03. Element specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism signifies that the ferromagnetism of V-doped Sb$$_{2}$$Te$$_{3}$$ is governed by the p-d hybridization between the host carrier and the magnetic dopant. Time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy has revealed that the V impurity induced states underlying the topological surface state (TSS) add scattering channels that significantly shorten the duration of transient surface electrons down to 100 fs scale. This is in a sharp contrast to the prolonged duration reported for pristine samples though the TSS is located inside the bulk energy gap of the host in either magnetic or non-magnetic cases. It implies the presence of a mobility gap in the bulk energy gap region of the host material.

We investigate the microscopic origin of ferromagnetism coupled with topological insulators in V-doped (Sb,Bi)$$_{2}$$Te$$_{3}$$ employing X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopies, combined with first-principles calculations. We found an magnetic moment at the Te site anti-parallel to that of the V and Sb sites, which plays a key role in the ferromagnetic order. We ascribe it to the hybridization between Te 5${it p}$ and V 3${it d}$ majority spin states at the Fermi energy, consistent with the Zener-type ${it p}$-${it d}$ exchange interaction scenario. The substitution of Bi for Sb suppresses the bulk ferromagnetism by introducing extra electron carriers in the majority spin channel of the Te ${it p}$ states that compensates the antiparallel magnetic moment on the Te site. Our findings reveal important clues to designing magnetic topological insulators with higher Curie temperature that work under ambient conditions.

A new kind of magnetically-doped antiferromagnetic (AFM) topological insulators (TIs), Bi$$_{1.09}$$Gd$$_{0.06}$$Sb$$_{0.85}$$Te$$_{3}$$, has been studied by angle-resolved photoemission, superconducting magnetometry (SQUID) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). It has been shown that this TI is characterized by the Dirac gap at the Fermi level. In the paramagnetic phase, a surface magnetic layer is supposed to develop, where the coupling between the Gd magnetic moments is mediated by the topological surface states (TSSs). This assumption can be confirmed by opening a gap at the Dirac point indicated by the surface-sensitive ARPES, a weak hysteresis loop measured by SQUID, the XMCD showing a surface magnetic moment and the temperature dependence of electrical resistance demonstrating a mid-gap semiconducting behavior, which correlates with the temperature dependence of the surface magnetization and confirms the conclusion that only TSSs are located at the Fermi level.

X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements were performed at the Ni and Fe $$L_{2,3}$$ absorption edges for Ni$$_{x}$$Fe$$_{4-x}$$N (${it x}$ = 1 and 3) epitaxial films. Shoulders at approximately 2 eV above the Ni $$L_{2,3}$$ main peaks in the XAS spectrum of Ni$$_{3}$$FeN were interpreted to originate from hybridization of orbitals between Ni 3$$d$$ at face-centered (II) sites and N 2$$p$$ at body-centered sites, while such features were missing in NiFe$$_{3}$$N film. Similar shoulders were observed at Fe $$L_{2,3}$$ edges in both films. Hence, Ni atoms preferentially occupied corner (I) sites, where the hybridization was weak because of the relatively long distance between Ni at I sites and N atoms. The relatively large magnetic moment deduced from sum-rule analysis of NiFe$$_{3}$$N also showed a good agreement with the presence of Ni atoms at I sites.

磁性元素を添加したトポロジカル絶縁体は、量子異常ホール効果や無散逸伝導などの魅力的な現象の発現が予言され、低消費電力スピンデバイスの開発につながっていくものと期待されている。既に、いくつかの磁性添加トポロジカル絶縁体で長距離磁気秩序が確認されている。しかし、量子異常ホール効果の発現は、極低温におけるCrを添加した(Sb,Bi)$$_{2}$$Te$$_{3}$$系に限られており、強磁性の微視的な起源はほとんど分かっていない。そこで、今回、X線磁気円二色性実験による元素選択的研究を行うことにより、本物質系の強磁性は、母体の正孔キャリアーを媒介としたものであり、Crの3d電子とSbやTeのp電子の相互作用が極めて重要であることを明らかにした。この結果は、異常量子ホール素子の実現に向けても重要である。

We performed XAS and XMCD measurements at Fe L$$_{2,3}$$ and N K-edges for Fe$$_{4}$$N epitaxial films grown by MBE. We compared experimental XAS and XMCD spectra with those simulated by a combination of a first-principles calculation and Fermi's golden rule. We revealed that the shoulders observed at Fe L$$_{2,3}$$-edges in the XAS and XMCD spectra were due to the electric dipole transition from the Fe 2p core-level to the hybridization state generated by $$sigma$$$$^{ast}$$ anti-bonding between the orbitals of N 2p at the body-centered site and Fe 3d on the face-centered (II) sites. Thus, the observed shoulders were attributed to the local electronic structure of Fe atoms at II sites. As to the N K-edge, the line shape of the obtained spectra was explained by the dipole transition from the N 1s core-level to the hybridization state formed by $$pi$$$$^{ast}$$ and $$sigma$$$$^{ast}$$ anti-bondings between the Fe 3d and N 2p orbitals.

The temperature evolution of the electronic structure of a Ni-Fe(Co)-Ga/MgO(100), Heusler-type, ferromagnetic shape-memory alloy thin film has been followed by a bulk-sensitive hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, element-selective soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism, and first-principles calculation. The reversible changes of the electronic states near the Fermi energy show a hysteresis associated with the martensitic phase transition (MPT), where the pseudogap opens on cooling and closes again on warming. In addition, the Ni 3d spin magnetic moment increases by approximately two times across the MPT, whereas the change of Fe 3d moment is moderate. By comparing the experimental results with the calculated spin-resolved density of states, we conclude that the band Jahn-Teller effect of Ni 3d and Fe 3d orbitals is responsible for MPT.
