Topological Hall effect and emergent skyrmion crystal at manganite-iridate oxide interfaces
Abstract
Scalar spin chirality is expected to induce a finite contribution to the Hall response at low temperatures. We observe this spin-chirality-driven Hall effect, known as the topological Hall effect, at the manganite side of the interface between La1-xSrxMnO3 and SrIrO3. The ferromagnetic double-exchange hopping at the manganite layer, in conjunction with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction which arises at the interface due to broken inversion symmetry and strong spin-orbit coupling from the iridate layer, could produce a skyrmion-crystal (SkX) phase in the presence of an external magnetic field. Using the Monte Carlo technique and a two-orbital spin-fermion model for manganites, supplemented by an in-plane DM interaction, we obtain phase diagrams which reveal at low temperatures a clear SkX phase and also a low-field spin-spiral phase. Increasing temperature, a skyrmion-gas phase, precursor of the SkX phase upon cooling, was identified. The topological Hall effect primarily appears in the SkX phase, as observed before in oxide heterostructures. We determine that the manganite-iridate superlattices give another useful platform to discover a plethora of unconventional magnetic and transport properties.
