Magnetizing topological surface states of Bi ₂ Se ₃ with a CrI ₃ monolayer

Journal Article Hou, Yusheng ; Kim, Jeongwoo ; Wu, Ruqian - Science Advances

To magnetize surfaces of topological insulators without damaging their topological feature is a crucial step for the realization of the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) and remains as a challenging task. Through density functional calculations, we found that adsorption of a semiconducting two-dimensional van der Waals (2D-vdW) ferromagnetic CrI₃monolayer can create a sizable spin splitting at the Dirac point of the topological surface states of Bi₂Se₃films. Furthermore, general rules that connect different quantum and topological parameters are established through model analyses. This work provides a useful guideline for the realization of QAHE at high temperatures in heterostructures of 2D-vdW magneticmore » monolayers and topological insulators.« less

Metal-to-insulator switching in quantum anomalous Hall states

Journal Article Kou, Xufeng ; Pan, Lei ; Wang, Jing ; ... - Nature Communications

After decades of searching for the dissipationless transport in the absence of any external magnetic field, quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) was recently achieved in magnetic topological insulator films. However, the universal phase diagram of QAHE and its relation with quantum Hall effect (QHE) remain to be investigated. Here, we report the experimental observation of the giant longitudinal resistance peak and zero Hall conductance plateau at the coercive field in the six quintuple-layer (Cr_0.12Bi_0.26Sb_0.62)₂Te₃ film, and demonstrate the metal-to-insulator switching between two opposite QAHE plateau states up to 0.3 K. Moreover, the universal QAHE phase diagram is confirmed through themore »« less

Above 400-K robust perpendicular ferromagnetic phase in a topological insulator

Journal Article Tang, Chi ; Chang, Cui -Zu ; Zhao, Gejian ; ... - Science Advances

Here, the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) that emerges under broken time-reversal symmetry in topological insulators (TIs) exhibits many fascinating physical properties for potential applications in nanoelectronics and spintronics. However, in transition metal–doped TIs, the only experimentally demonstrated QAHE system to date, the QAHE is lost at practically relevant temperatures. This constraint is imposed by the relatively low Curie temperature (T_c) and inherent spin disorder associated with the random magnetic dopants. We demonstrate drastically enhanced T_c by exchange coupling TIs to Tm₃Fe₅O₁₂, a high-T_c magnetic insulator with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Signatures showing that the TI surface states acquire robust ferromagnetismmore »« less

Topological Insulators in Twisted Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Homobilayers

Journal Article Wu, Fengcheng ; Lovorn, Timothy ; Tutuc, Emanuel ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We show that moiré bands of twisted homobilayers can be topologically nontrivial, and illustrate the tendency by studying valence band states in ±K valleys of twisted bilayer transition metal dichalcogenides, in particular, bilayer MoTe₂. Because of the large spin-orbit splitting at the monolayer valence band maxima, the low energy valence states of the twisted bilayer MoTe₂ at the +K (–K) valley can be described using a two-band model with a layer-pseudospin magnetic field Δ(r) that has the moiré period. We show that Δ(r) has a topologically nontrivial skyrmion lattice texture in real space, and that the topmost moiré valence bandsmore »« less

Strongly Enhanced Gilbert Damping in 3 d Transition-Metal Ferromagnet Monolayers in Contact with the Topological Insulator $$\mathrm{Bi_2Se_3}$$

Journal Article Hou, Y. S. ; Wu, R. Q. - Physical Review Applied

Engineering Gilbert damping of ferromagnetic metal films is of great importance to exploit and design spintronic devices that are operated with an ultrahigh speed. Based on the scattering theory of Gilbert damping, we extend the torque method originally used in studies of magnetocrystalline anisotropy to theoretically determine Gilbert dampings of ferromagnetic metals. This method is utilized to investigate Gilbert dampings of 3d transition-metal ferromagnet iron, cobalt, and nickel monolayers that are contacted by the prototypical topological insulator Bi₂Se₃. Amazingly, we find that their Gilbert dampings are strongly enhanced by about one order of magnitude compared with dampings of their bulk forms and free-standing monolayers due to the strong spin-orbit coupling ofmore »« less
