被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:40.72(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the element-specific electronic structure of a half-metallic Weyl ferromagnet candidate CoFeSi film by utilizing soft-X-ray resonant photoelectron spectroscopy and first-principles calculations with/without considering on-site Coulomb interaction. Fe 2-3 resonant photoelectron experiment revealed that the Fe 3 states exist around 2 and 4 eV below the Fermi energy. Our calculations, based on the generalized gradient approximation without considering Coulomb interaction at the Fe site, successfully reproduced the experimentally observed Fe 3 partial density of states. Our findings shed light on the highly controversial correlation effect of CoFeSi, offering valuable insights into its half-metallicity and Weyl semi-metallicity.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We investigated the electronic structure of -MoO 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 4-4 resonant photoelectron experiment revealed that the Mo 4 electrons of MoO octahedra mainly contributed to the electrical conductivity. We also demonstrated that the free electron-like band dispersions along axis, consisting of Mo 4 electrons, do not show clear and 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.

被引用回数:2 パーセンタイル:31.74(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The role of spin-orbit interaction has been recently reconsidered in high- cuprates, stimulated by the recent experimental observations of spin-polarized electronic states. However, due to the complexity of the spin texture reported, the origin of the spin polarization in high- cuprates remains unclear. Here, we present the spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) data on the facing momentum points that are symmetric with respect to the point, to ensure the intrinsic spin nature related to the initial state. We consistently found the very weak spin polarization only along the nodal direction, with no indication of spin-splitting of the band. Our findings thus call for a revision of the simple application of the spin-orbit interaction, which has been treated within the standard framework of the Rashba interaction in high- cuprates.

被引用回数:0 パーセンタイル:0.00(Multidisciplinary Sciences)We study ultrafast population dynamics in the topological surface state of SbTe 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 - directions and results in a macroscopic photocurrent when the plane of incidence is aligned along a - 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 SbTe by vanadium atoms strongly enhances inelastic electron scattering to lower energies, but only scarcely affects elastic scattering around the Dirac cone.

We observed the band dispersions of pristine VSe in a sample grown at substrate temperature () of 250C, while the significant modulations of the Se-derived bands can be seen at = 380C. For = 420C, we found that the V self-intercalated VSe was formed. As a simple and convenient way, we also demonstrate that the monolayer VSe can be fabricated by annealing from the multilayer VSe film, and the possible formation mechanism is discussed. The establishment of the growth methods of VSe film and verifying its electronic properties provide the substantial step for the creation of the 2D vDW heterostructures.

被引用回数:6 パーセンタイル:56.00(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)FeGeTe is a van der Waals (vdW) coupled unconventional ferromagnetic metal with a high Curie temperature (), exceeding 300 K. The formation of an anomalous ground state far below has attracted great interest, leading to a need to understand the spin-polarized electronic state near the Fermi energy () at low temperature. Despite recent extensive study, a microscopic understanding of the spin polarized electronic structure around has not been established yet due to the intrinsic complexity of both the crystal and band structures. In this work, we investigate the temperature dependence of element-specific soft X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD). Systematic temperature evolution in the XMCD signal from both magnetic Fe and its ligand Te is clearly observed. Importantly, the enhancement of the hybridization between Fe 3 and Te 5 states in the zero-magnetic field limit has been revealed. In light of the possible emergence of an exotic ground state, we discuss the temperature and magnetic field evolution of the element specific XMCD results.

It was found that Te desorbs from the QL to form the BL with an activation energy of 2.7 eV. Eventually two distinct stoichiometric phases were formed, BiTe (QL-BL-QL) and BiTe (QL-BL), as evidenced by scanning transmission emission microscopy measurements. The surface-state dispersion was measured with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and the topological nature of each sample is discussed. Our method offers a convenient and simple way to fabricate superlattice films with different topological properties.

The surface-state Dirac cone of the heterostructure showed little change compared to that of the pristine BiTe and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism measurements showed that the system was paramagnetic down to 5.6 K. These results are in contrast to the previous works on related materials that showed magnetic order around 10 K as well as theoretical predictions and suggests the intricacy of the magnetic properties of two-dimensional van der Waals magnets.

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:3.57(Chemistry, Physical)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 SbTe-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 (SbBi)Te. We also investigated how the magnetic-impurity affects the carrier dynamics in ferromagnetic SbVTe. 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, SbTe-based TIs would be promising for ultrafast spin switching and spin-polarized current generation device applications.

By using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we investigate the ultrafast carrier dynamics in the series of (Sb,Bi)Te. 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 CoMnGa 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 6.2 VK is realized at room temperature. Given this topological quantum state and full remanent magnetization, CoMnGa films are promising for realizing high efficiency heat flux and magnetic field sensing devices operable at room temperature and zero-field.

被引用回数:46 パーセンタイル:92.39(Multidisciplinary Sciences)We fabricate a novel magnetic topological heterostructure MnBiTe/BiTe where multiple magnetic layers are inserted into the topmost quintuple layer of the original topological insulator BiTe. A massive Dirac cone (DC) with a gap of 40-75 meV at 16 K is observed. By tracing the temperature evolution, this gap is shown to gradually decrease with increasing temperature and a blunt transition from a massive to a massless DC occurs around 200-250 K. Magnetic measurements show that there are two distinct Mn components in the system that corresponds to the two heterostructures; MnBiTe/BiTe is paramagnetic at 6 K while MnBiTe/BiTe is ferromagnetic with a negative hysteresis (critical temperature 20 K). This novel heterostructure is potentially important for future device applications.

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 and 4 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 and 4 orbitals. Our finding provides a new approach to uncover the spin-split partial density of states above the Fermi level.

被引用回数:7 パーセンタイル:33.40(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)Resonant photoelectron spectroscopy at the Co and Mn 2 core absorption edges of half-metallic CoMnGe has been performed to determine the element-specific density of states (DOS). A significant contribution of the Mn 3 partial DOS near the Fermi level () was clarified by measurement at the Mn 2 absorption edge. Further analysis by first-principles calculation revealed that it has 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 absorption edge indicates delocalization of photoexcited Co 3 electrons. The difference in the degrees of localization of the Mn 3 and Co 3 electrons in CoMnGe is explained by the first-principles calculation.

被引用回数:11 パーセンタイル:61.30(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We systematically investigate the magnetic, structural and electronic properties and the ultrafast carrier dynamics in a series of V-doped SbTe samples of composition SbVTe with x = 0, 0.015 and 0.03. Element specific X-ray magnetic circular dichroism signifies that the ferromagnetism of V-doped SbTe 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 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 and V 3 majority spin states at the Fermi energy, consistent with the Zener-type - 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 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.
