Scalar spin chirality Nernst effect

Go, G.*; Goli, D. P.*; 江崎 蘭世; Tserkovnyak, Y.*; Kim, S. K.*

Physical Review Research (Internet), 7(2), p.L022066_1 - L022066_7, 2025/06

It remains an open question whether or not the scalar spin chirality itself can exhibit a Hall-type transport. In this work, we show that the answer is yes: The scalar spin chirality is Hall-transported in Kagome ferromagnets and antiferromagnets under an external bias, engendering a phenomenon which we dub the scalar spin chirality Nernst effect. Our findings call for the need to lift the conventional assumption that the scalar spin chirality is a static quantity in order to discover the active roles of the scalar spin chirality in transport properties.

$$^{149}$$Sm synchrotron-radiation-based M$"{o}$ssbauer and $$mu^+$$SR studies of Sm$$_3$$Ru$$_4$$Ge$$_{13}$$

筒井 智嗣; 伊藤 孝; 中村 仁*; 吉田 実生*; 小林 義男*; 依田 芳卓*; 中村 惇平*; 幸田 章宏*; 東中 隆二*; 青木 大*; et al.

Interactions (Internet), 245(1), p.55_1 - 55_9, 2024/12

$$^{149}$$Sm SR-based M$"{o}$ssbauer and muon spin relaxation ($$mu^+$$SR) spectroscopies have been applied to Sm$$_3$$Ru$$_4$$Ge$$_{13}$$. The temperature dependence of the $$^{149}$$Sm SR-based M$"{o}$ssbauer spectra in the paramagnetic state implies the presence of dynamical nuclear Zeeman and/or quadrupole interactions. The time differential $$mu^+$$SR spectra also exhibit a marked temperature dependence in the paramagnetic state, indicating the presence of magnetic fluctuation in Sm$$_3$$Ru$$_4$$Ge$$_{13}$$ at least. These results in the present work infer that the dynamical hyperfine interactions observed using the mutually complementary spectroscopic methods are connected with the mechanism of the heavy fermion behavior in Sm$$_3$$Ru$$_4$$Ge$$_{13}$$.

Spin caloritronics, a research field studying on the interconversion between a charge current (J$$_{rm c}$$) and a heat current (J$$_{rm q}$$) mediated by a spin current (J$$_{rm s}$$) and/or magnetization (M), has attracted much attention not only for academic interest but also for practical applications. Newly discovered spin-caloritronic phenomena such as the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) have stimulated the renewed interest in the thermoelectric phenomena of a magnet, which have been known for a long time, e.g. the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE). These spin-caloritronic phenomena involving the SSE and the ANE have provided with a new direction for thermoelectric conversion exploiting J$$_{rm s}$$ and/or M. Importantly, the symmetry of ANE allows the thermoelectric conversion in the transverse configuration between J$$_{rm q}$$ and J$$_{rm c}$$. Although the transverse configuration is totally different from the conventional longitudinal configuration based on the Seebeck effect and has many advantages, we are still facing several issues that need to be solved before developing practical applications. The primal issue is the improvement of conversion efficiency. In the case of ANE-based applications, a material with a large anomalous Nernst coefficient (S$$_{rm ANE}$$) is the key for solving the issue. This review article introduces the increase of S$$_{rm ANE}$$ can be achieved by forming superlattice structures, which has been demonstrated for several kinds of materials combinations. The overall picture of studies on spin caloritronics is first surveyed. Then, we mention the pioneering work on the transverse thermoelectric conversion in superlattice structures, which was performed using Fe-based metallic superlattices, and show the recent studies for the Ni-based metallic superlattices and the ordered alloy-based metallic superlattices.

We propose a model to describe the fluctuations in the internal magnetic field due to ion dynamics observed in muon spin relaxation ($$mu$$SR) by an Edwards-Anderson-type autocorrelation function that separates the quasi-static and dynamic components of the correlation by the parameter $$Q$$ (where $$0leq Qleq 1$$). Our Monte Carlo simulations for this model showed that the time evolution of muon spin polarization deviates significantly from the Kubo-Toyabe function. To further validate the model, the results of simulations were compared with the $$mu$$SR spectra observed in a hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite FAPbI$$_3$$ [with FA referring to HC(NH$$_2$$)$$_2$$], where local field fluctuations associated with the rotational motion of FA molecules and quasi-static fields from the PbI$$_3$$ lattice are presumed to coexist. The least-squares curve fitting showed reasonable agreement with the model with $$Q=0.947(3)$$, and the fluctuation frequency of the dynamical component was obtained. This result opens the door to the possibility of experimentally distinguishing fluctuations due to the dynamics of ions around muons from those due to the self-diffusion of muons. On the other hand, it suggests the need to carefully consider the spin relaxation function when applying $$mu$$SR to the issue of ion dynamics.

Resuspended matters occur the secondary radioactive contamination of the crops in Fukushima Prefecture. We investigated the Cs-137 contamination derived from the resuspended matters to Japanese mustard spinaches in the multiple sites. In the less contaminated site, because Cs-137 of the surface ground soil was low, contamination of crops by the soil particles might be small. In the highly contaminated area, Cs-137 deposition of the soil particles might increase. However, the soil particles had no significant effect on Cs-137 contamination to crops. This was because the grown crop might cover the soil and reduce the Cs-137 deposition on the soil.

$$beta$$-Mn-type family alloys Mn$$_3$$$$TX$$ have three-dimensional antiferromagnetic (AFM) corner-shared triangular network. The antiferromagnet Mn$$_3$$RhSi shows magnetic short-range order (SRO) over a wide temperature range of approximately 500 K above the N$'{e}$el temperature $$T_{rm N}$$ = 190 K. Mn$$_3$$CoSi has the smallest lattice parameter and the lowest $$T_{rm N}$$ in the family compounds. The quantum critical point (QCP) from AFM to the quantum paramagnetic state is expected near a cubic lattice parameter of 6.15 $AA. Although $T_N$$ of Mn$$_3$$CoSi is only 140 K, quantum critical behavior is observed in Mn$$_3$$CoSi as the enhancement of the electronic specific heat coefficient $$gamma$$. We study how the magnetic SRO appears in Mn$$_3$$CoSi by using neutron scattering, $$mu$$SR, and physical property measurements. The experimental results show that the neutron scattering intensity of the magnetic SRO does not change much regardless of the suppressed magnetic moment in the long-range magnetic ordered state compared to those of Mn$$_3$$RhSi. The initial asymmetry drop ratio of $$mu$$SR above $$T_{rm N}$$ becomes small, and the magnetic SRO temperature $$T_{SRO}$$ is suppressed to 240 K. The results suggest that the Mn$$_3$$CoSi is close to the QCP in the Mn$$_3$$$$TX$$ system.

In positive muon spin rotation and relaxation ($$mu^+$$SR) spectroscopy, positive muons ($$mu^+$$) implanted into solid oxides are conventionally treated as immobile spin-probes at interstitial sites below room temperature. This is because each $$mu^+$$ is thought to be tightly bound to an oxygen atom in the host lattice to form a muonic analogue of the hydroxy group. On the basis of this concept, anomalies in $$mu^+$$SR spectra observed in oxides have been attributed in most cases to the intrinsic properties of host materials. On the other hand, global $$mu^+$$ diffusion with an activation energy of $$sim$$0.1~eV has been reported in some chemically-substituted perovskite oxides at cryogenic temperatures, although the reason for the small activation energy despite the formation of the strong O$$mu$$ bond has not yet been quantitatively understood. In this study, we investigated interstitial $$mu^+$$ diffusion in the perovskite oxide lattice using KTaO$$_3$$ cubic perovskite as a model system. We used the $$mu^+$$SR method and density functional theory calculations along with the harmonic transition state theory to study this phenomenon both experimentally and theoretically. Experimental activation energies for global $$mu^+$$ diffusion obtained below room temperature were less than a quarter of the calculated classical potential barrier height for a bottleneck $$mu^+$$ transfer path. The reduction in the effective barrier height could be explained by the harmonic transition state theory with a zero-point energy correction; a significant difference in zero-point energies for $$mu^+$$ at the positions in the O$$mu$$ bonding equilibrium state and a bond-breaking transition state was the primary cause of the reduction. This suggests that the assumption of immobile $$mu^+$$ in solid oxides is not always satisfied since such a significant decrease in diffusion barrier height can also occur in other oxides.

Spintronic devices are expected to replace the recent nanoelectronic memories and sensors due to their efficiency in energy consumption and functionality with scalability. To date, spintronic devices, namely magnetoresistive junctions, employ ferromagnetic materials by storing information bits as their magnetization directions. However, in order to achieve further miniaturization with maintaining and/or improving their efficiency and functionality, new materials development is required: 1) increase in spin polarization of a ferromagnet or 2) replacement of a ferromagnet by an antiferromagnet. Antiferromagnetic materials have been used to induce an exchange bias to the neighboring ferromagnet but they have recently been found to demonstrate a 100% spin-polarized electrical current, up to THz oscillation and topological effects. In this review, the recent development of three types of antiferromagnets is summarized with offering their future perspectives towards device applications.

We report the effect of the epitaxial growth of NiO films on its spin current transmission. Two sample series of Pt/NiO/CoFeB, including epitaxial and polycrystalline NiO, were prepared using different deposition conditions. The spin current transmission of NiO is evaluated using the thermo-spin effects in the trilayers. Epitaxial NiO exhibits a non-monotonic behavior in the NiO thickness dependence of spin current transmission, while this behavior is smeared out in polycrystalline NiO. The non-monotonic behavior implies the presence of multiple spin transport mechanisms, which becomes apparent with epitaxial growth.

Magnetic Weyl semimetals (mWSMs) are characterized by linearly dispersive bands with chiral Weyl node pairs associated with broken time-reversal symmetry. One of the hallmarks of mWSMs is the emergence of large intrinsic anomalous Hall effect. On heating the mWSM above its Curie temperature, the magnetism vanishes while exchange-split Weyl point pairs collapse into doubly degenerate gapped Dirac states. Here, we reveal the attractive potential of these Dirac nodes in paramagnetic state for efficient spin current generation at room temperature via the spin Hall effect. Ni and In are introduced to separately substitute Co and Sn in a prototypal mWSM Co$$_{3}$$Sn$$_{2}$$S$$_{2}$$ shandite film and tune the Fermi level. Composition dependence of spin Hall conductivity for paramagnetic shandite at room temperature resembles that of anomalous Hall conductivity for ferromagnetic shandite at low temperature; exhibiting peak-like dependence centering around the Ni-substituted Co$$_{3}$$Ni$$_{1}$$Sn$$_{2}$$S$$_{2}$$ and undoped Co$$_{3}$$Sn$$_{2}$$S$$_{2}$$ compositions, respectively. The observed spin Hall and anomalous Hall conductivity maxima at different compositions reflect optimum Fermi-level positioning relative to the paramagnetic Dirac and magnetic Weyl states, suggesting the common origin and intercorrelation between the two Hall effects. Our findings highlight a strategy for the quest of spin Hall materials, guided by the abundant experimental anomalous Hall-effect data of ferromagnets in the literature.

Muon spin rotation ($$mu$$SR) experiments were performed to directly investigate the temperature dependence of the short-range order or correlations of chromium spins in the paramagnetic phase of AgCrSe$$_{2}$$. The detailed investigation of the $$mu$$SR spectra over a wide temperature range from low to high temperatures revealed that the short-range spin correlations developed below about 184 K. It also confirmed no short-range correlations at high temperatures, which had been controversial in previous quasi-elastic neutron scattering studies. In addition, the muon spin relaxation was qualitatively changed and showed large missing asymmetry below about 89 K, where the correlation clearly implied short-range spin order. There could be a preparative phenomenon of the phase transition or an anisotropic short-range spin correlation.

Two-step Mott transition in Ni(S,Se)$$_2$$; $$mu$$SR studies and charge-spin percolation model

A pyrite system NiS$$_{2-x}$$Se$$_x$$ exhibits a bandwidth controlled Mott transition via (S,Se) substitutions in a two-step process: the antiferromagnetic insulator (AFI) to antiferromagnetic metal (AFM) transition at $$xsim$$0.45 followed by the AFM to paramagnetic metal (PMM) transition at $$xsim$$1.0. Among a few other Mott systems which exhibit similar two-step transitions, Ni(S,Se)$$_2$$ is of particular interest because a large intermediate AFM region in the phase diagram would provide unique opportunities to study the interplay between the spin and charge order. By comparing and combining our muon spin relaxation studies and previous neutron scattering studies, here we propose a picture where the spin order is maintained by the percolation of "nonmetallic" localized and dangling Ni moments surrounded by S, while the charge transition from AFI to AFM is caused by the percolation of the conducting paths generated by the Ni-Se-Ni bonds.

We present the results of muon spin relaxation ($$mu$$SR) and neutron scattering measurements on the Ce-based quasikagome lattice CeRh$$_{1-x}$$Pd$$_x$$Sn ($$x$$ = 0.1 to 0.75). Our $$mu$$SR results reveal the absence of both static long-range magnetic order and spin freezing down to 0.05 K in the $$x$$ = 0.1 sample, which is consistent with neutron scattering results. The weak temperature-dependent plateaus of the dynamic spin fluctuations below 0.2 K in zero field together with its longitudinal-field (LF) dependence indicate the presence of dynamic spin fluctuations persisting even at 0.05 K without static magnetic order. We argue that such a behavior for $$x$$ = 0.1 can be attributed to a metallic spin-liquid-like ground state near the quantum critical point in the frustrated Kondo lattice. The LF-$$mu$$SR study suggests that the out of kagome plane spin fluctuations are responsible for the spin-liquid behavior.

イットリウム鉄ガーネットの磁気ブラッグピークに対する超音波注入効果を、準弾性中性子散乱によって研究した。磁気ブラッグピークは、温度の低下とともに大幅に強化さる。エネルギー幅は、超音波注入によって引き起こされる試料温度上昇の平方根に比例して増加した。磁気ブラッグピークは格子振動によって増強されることから、この増強はスピン-格子結合と密接に関連していると予想される。縦波モードで100Kを超えると観測された急激な散乱信号の低下は、スピン-格子結合の劣化を示唆している。これは、温度が100Kを超えるとスピンゼーベック効果が低下することと一致しており、スピン-格子結合による劣化メカニズムに証明を与えている。

Membrane viscosity is a fundamental property that controls molecular transport and structural rearrangements in lipid membranes. Given its importance in many cell processes, various experimental and computational methods have been developed to measure the membrane viscosity, yet the estimated values depend highly on the method and vary by orders of magnitude. Here we investigate the molecular origins of membrane viscosity by measuring the nanoscale dynamics of the lipid acyl tails using X-ray and neutron spectroscopy techniques. The results show that the membrane viscosity can be estimated from the structural relaxation times of the lipid tails.

中性子基礎物理学において、パリティ非保存(PNC)項や時間反転非保存項と干渉する中性子スピン$${bf s}$$と標的核スピン$${bf I}$$の相関項$${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$は重要な研究テーマである。中性子共鳴ピーク付近でPNC項の増大が測定され、スピン交換光ポンピング(SEOP)法により$$sim 10^{-1}$$の偏極が得られるキセノン(Xe)は、本研究にとって興味深い原子核である。我々は小型SEOPシステムを用いた偏極Xe標的を開発し、核破砕中性子源で得られる大強度の熱外中性子ビームを利用した$${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$項の研究を計画している。その第一段階として、我々は$$^{129}$$Xeの9.6eV共鳴ピーク付近でのXe偏極時と非偏極時の中性子透過率比の変化$$Delta R$$を捕らえることで、$${bf s}cdot{bf I}$$項に起因する中性子偏極能力の測定をJ-PARC物質・生命科学実験施設(MLF)のBL10で試みた。実験では、本測定系がドップラーブロードニングの影響($$Delta R_{rm DB} , {approx},10^{-2}$$)を検知できることを実証した上で、初期結果として有意な$$Delta R$$の値を得ている。現在は$$Delta R$$をより詳細に評価するために、核磁気・電子スピン共鳴法によるXe偏極度の導出を進めている。
