被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:88.76(Physics, Applied)We perform a hysteresis-loop measurement and domain imaging for -oriented -MnSn thin films using magneto-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) and compare it with the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) measurement. We obtain a large Kerr rotation angle of 10 mdeg., comparable with bulk single-crystal MnSn. The composition dependence of AHE and MOKE shows a similar trend, suggesting the same origin, i.e., the non-vanishing Berry curvature in the momentum space. Magnetic domain observation at the saturated state shows that x dependence of AHE and MOKE is explained by an amount of reversible area that crucially depends on the crystalline structure of the film. Furthermore, in-depth observation of the reversal process reveals that the reversal starts with nucleation of sub-micrometer-scale domains dispersed in the film, followed by a domain expansion, where the domain wall preferentially propagates along the direction. Our study provides a basic understanding of the spatial evolution of the reversal of chiral-spin structure in non-collinear antiferromagnetic thin films.

被引用回数:18 パーセンタイル:78.47(Nanoscience & Nanotechnology)We investigate the relationship between structural parameters, magnetic ordering, and the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) of MnSn () thin films annealed at various temperature . The crystal structure changes with and and at C near the stoichiometric composition () epitaxial single-phase 0-MnSn() is obtained. At room temperature, a larger AHE is obtained when the single-phase epitaxial MnSn with the lattice constant closer to that of bulk is formed. The temperature dependence of the AHE shows different behaviors depending on and can be explained by considering the variation of magnetic ordering. A close inspection into the temperature and composition dependence suggests a variation of magnetic phase transition temperature with composition and/or a possible correlation between the AHE and Fermi level position with respect to the Weyl points. Our comprehensive study would provide the basis for utilizing the unique functionalities of non-collinear antiferromagnetic materials.
