Abstract
Emergent magnetic fields exerted by topological spin textures of magnets lead to an additional Hall response of itinerant carriers called the topological Hall effect (THE). While THE as a bulk effect has been widely studied, THE driven by magnetic domain boundaries (DBs) has been elusive. Here, we report rich Hall responses characterized by multiple peak structures and a hysteresis loop in films of , where Eu layers form a geometrically frustrated lattice of Heisenberg spins. We uncover a THE component sharply enhanced at magnetic transition fields, indicating a giant contribution from nontrivial spin textures possibly formed at the DBs.
磁体的拓扑自旋纹理产生的新兴磁场会导致巡回载流子产生额外的霍尔响应,这就是拓扑霍尔效应(THE)。拓扑霍尔效应作为一种体效应已被广泛研究,而由磁畴边界(DB)驱动的拓扑霍尔效应却一直难以捉摸。在这里,我们报告了 EuCd2 薄膜中以多峰值结构和滞后环为特征的丰富霍尔响应,其中 Eu 层形成了海森堡自旋的几何挫折晶格。我们发现了在磁过渡场中急剧增强的 THE 分量,这表明可能在 DBs 上形成的非偶数自旋纹理做出了巨大贡献。
