Title: Axion insulator state in ferromagnetically ordered CrI₃/Bi₂Se₃/MnBi₂Se₄ heterostructures

Abstract

Ferromagnetic (FM) axion insulators may greatly simplify experimental explorations of the topological magnetoelectric effect, as the FM ordering can be stable in a broad range of magnetic field. Through density functional theory calculations and four-band model studies, we find that two-dimensional van der Waals FM CrI₃ and MnBi₂Se₄ overlayers induce opposite-sign exchange fields in the topological surface states of Bi₂Se₃ film when they are ferromagnetically ordered. As a consequence, the CrI₃/Bi₂Se₃/MnBi₂Se₄ heterostructure is a robust FM axion insulator, according to surface-resolved Berry curvature calculations. Our work opens up opportunities for the design of materials with the topological magnetoelectric effect.

Axion Insulator State in a Ferromagnet/Topological Insulator/Antiferromagnet Heterostructure

Journal Article Hou, Yusheng ; Wu, Ruqian - Nano Letters

We propose the use of ferromagnetic insulator MnBi₂Se₄/Bi₂Se₃/antiferromagnetic insulator Mn₂Bi₂Se₅ heterostructures for the realization of the axion insulator state. Importantly, the axion insulator state in such heterostructures only depends on the magnetization of the ferromagnetic insulator and, hence, can be observed in a wide range of external magnetic fields. Using density functional calculations and model Hamiltonian simulations, we find that the top and bottom surfaces have opposite half-quantum Hall conductances, σmore »« less

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

Realization of an intrinsic ferromagnetic topological state in MnBi₈Te₁₃

Journal Article Hu, Chaowei ; Ding, Lei ; Gordon, Kyle N. ; ... - Science Advances

Novel magnetic topological materials pave the way for studying the interplay between band topology and magnetism. However, an intrinsically ferromagnetic topological material with only topological bands at the charge neutrality energy has so far remained elusive. Using rational design, we synthesized MnBi₈Te₁₃, a natural heterostructure with [MnBi₂Te₄] and [Bi₂Te₃] layers. Thermodynamic, transport, and neutron diffraction measurements show that despite the adjacent [MnBi₂Te₄] being 44.1 Å apart, MnBi₈Te₁₃ manifests long-range ferromagnetism below 10.5 K with strong coupling between magnetism and charge carriers. First-principles calculations and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy measurements reveal it is an axion insulator with sizable surface hybridization gaps. Ourmore »« less

Exchange bias and quantum anomalous nomalous Hall effect in the MnBi₂Te₄/CrI₃ heterostructure

Journal Article Fu, Huixia ; Liu, Chao-Xing ; Yan, Binghai - Science Advances

The layered antiferromagnetic MnBi₂Te₄films have been proposed to be an intrinsic quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulator with a large gap. It is crucial to open a magnetic gap of surface states. However, recent experiments have observed gapless surface states, indicating the absence of out-of-plane surface magnetism, and thus, the quantized Hall resistance can only be achieved at the magnetic field above 6 T. We propose to induce out-of-plane surface magnetism of MnBi₂Te₄films via the magnetic proximity with magnetic insulator CrI₃. A strong exchange bias of ~40 meV originates from the long Cr-e_gorbital tails that hybridize strongly with Teporbitals. By stabilizingmore »« less

Ferromagnetic MnBi 4 Te 7 obtained with low-concentration Sb doping: A promising platform for exploring topological quantum states

Journal Article Guan, Y. D. ; Yan, C. H. ; Lee, S. H. ; ... - Physical Review Materials

The tuning of the magnetic phase, chemical potential, and structure is crucial to observe diverse exotic topological quantum states in Mn Bi₂ Te₄ (Bi₂ Te₃)_m (m = 0–3). Here we show a ferromagnetic (FM) phase with a chiral crystal structure in Mn (Bi_1–xSb_x)₄ Te₇, obtained via tuning the growth conditions and Sb concentration. Unlike previously reported Mn (Bi_1–xSb_x)₄ Te₇, which exhibits FM transitions only at high Sb doping levels, our samples show FM transitions (T_C = 13.5 K) at 15%–27% doping levels. Furthermore, our single-crystal x-ray-diffraction structure refinements find Sb doping leads to a chiral structure with the space group of P3, contrasted with the centrosymmetricmore »« less
