Spin texturing in a parabolically confined quantum wire with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions

In this study, we investigate theoretically the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the energy level spectrum and spin texturing of a quantum wire with a parabolic confining potential subjected to the perpendicular magnetic field. Highly accurate numerical calculations have been carried out using a finite element method. Our results reveal that the interplay between the spin-orbit interaction and the effective magnetic field significantly modifies the band structure, producing additional subband extrema and energy gaps. Competing effects between external field and spin-orbit interactions introduce comp｜ex features in spin texturing owing to the couplings in energy subbands. We obtain that spatia~ modulation of the spin density along the wire width can be considerably modified by the spin-orbit coupling strength, magnetic field and charge carrier concentration.

Spin texturing in quantum wires with Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions and in-plane magnetic field

In this work, we investigate the effects of interplay of spin-orbit interaction and in-plane magnetic fields on the electronic structure and spin texturing of parabolically confined quantum wire. Numerical results reveal that the competing effects between Rashba and Dresselhaus spin--orbit interactions and the external magnetic field lead to a complicated energy spectrum. We find that the spin texturing owing to the coupling between subbands can be modified by the strength of spin- orbit couplings as well as the magnitude and the orientation angle of the external magnetic field.

电子非厄米系统中的拓扑自旋图样

Non-Hermitian systems have been discussed mostly in the context of open systems and nonequilibrium.Recent experimental progress is much from optical,cold-atomic,and classical platforms due to the vast tunability and clear identification of observables.However,their counterpart in solid-state electronic systems in equilibrium remains unmasked although highly desired,where a variety of materials are available,calculations are solidly founded,and accurate spectroscopic techniques can be applied.We demonstrate that,in the surface state of a topological insulator with spin-dependent relaxation due to magnetic impurities,highly nontrivial topological soliton spin textures appear in momentum space.Such spin-channel phenomena are delicately related to the type of non-Hermiticity and correctly reveal the most robust non-Hermitian features detectable spectroscopically.Moreover,the distinct topological soliton objects can be deformed to each other,mediated by topological transitions driven by tuning across a critical direction of doped magnetism.These results not only open a solid-state avenue to exotic spin patterns via spin-and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy,but also inspire non-Hermitian dissipation engineering of spins in solids.

Experimental observation of topological Hall effects in compensated ferrimagnet-heavy metal layered structures

The topological Hall effect(THE) as a powerful probe for the experimental observation of topological spin textures, such as magnetic skyrmions, has been observed in a wide variety of distinct material systems. However, limited experimental observations have been reported for antiferromagnetic(AFM) materials. Here, the THE signals in the AFM state were observed in compensated ferrimagnetic thin films interfaced with heavy metals at the magnetization compensation temperature(TM).Ferrimagnetic CoTb thin films grown on Pt thin films were used in the experiments. The Co Tb films exhibited a magnetization compensation point at which the moments of Co and Tb sublattices canceled each other, giving rise to the AFM state. The temperature(T)-dependent Hall measurements showed anomalous Hall effect(AHE) and THE responses at T≠T_(M) but pure THE responses at T=T_(M). Control measurements and analyses suggest that the THE responses are associated with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction(DMI) rather than the overlapping of different AHE signals in the structure. This work presents the first-ever observation of interfacial DMI-induced THE in AFM metal trilayered systems and demonstrates a new approach for electrical reading of chiral spin textures in AFM thin film-based heterostructures.
