Abstract
We report universal behavior of the differential magnetic susceptibility (DMS) in the conical phase that mediates the spin-reorientation (SR) transition of the kagome ferromagnet Fe3Sn2. Within the SR temperature range, the DMS isotherms exhibit extremely narrow crossing regions, forming isosbestic points. Using an isosbestic-invariance analysis, we show that the isotherms collapse onto a single temperature-independent curve, revealing quadratic-in-temperature corrections to the susceptibility. Complementary field-dependent magnetic-force-microscopy measurements uncover the evolution of spin textures from stripe-like domains at low fields to isolated bubble-like domains near the isosbestic field (∼0.6 T), a behavior not previously reported in bulk Fe3Sn2 within the conical state. These findings point to a universal mechanism for the emergence of complex magnetic textures near isosbestic points, driven by the competition between magnetocrystalline anisotropy, dipolar interactions, and external magnetic field.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
