The quantum anomalous Hall effect1,2 is a fundamental transport response of a topological insulator in zero magnetic field. Its physical origin is a result of an intrinsically inverted electronic band structure and ferromagnetism3, and its most important manifestation is the dissipationless flow of chiral charge currents at the edges of the system4, a property that has the potential to transform future quantum electronics5,6. Here, we report a Berry-curvature-driven4,7 anomalous Hall regime at temperatures of several Kelvin in the magnetic topological bulk crystals in which Mn ions self-organize into a period-ordered MnBi2Te4/Bi2Te3 superlattice. Robust ferromagnetism of the MnBi2Te4 monolayers opens a surface gap8,9,10, and when the Fermi level is tuned to be within this gap, the anomalous Hall conductance reaches an e2/h quantization plateau, which is a clear indication of chiral transport through the edge states. The quantization in this regime is not obstructed by the bulk conduction channels and therefore should be present in a broad family of topological magnets.

MnBi 2 Te 4 / Bi 2 Te 3超晶格中的高温量子异常霍尔机制

量子异常霍尔效应1,2是拓扑绝缘子在零磁场中的基本输运响应。它的物理起源是固有的电子能带结构和铁磁性3的结果,它最重要的表现是在系统4的边缘处手性电荷电流的无耗散流动,这种性质具有改变未来量子电子学5的潜力。,6。在这里,我们报道了在磁性拓扑体晶体中几个开尔文温度下,贝里曲率驱动的4,7异常霍尔状态,其中锰离子自组织成周期有序的MnBi 2 Te 4 / Bi 2 Te3个超晶格。MnBi 2 Te 4单层的稳健铁磁性打开了表面间隙8,9,10,当费米能级被调整到该间隙内时,霍尔电导异常达到e 2 / h量化平台,这清楚地表明通过边缘状态的手性传输。在这种情况下,量子化不会受到整体传导通道的阻碍,因此应存在于广泛的拓扑磁铁家族中。
