TbMn6Sn6 is a metallic ferrimagnet displaying signatures of both topological electrons and topological magnons arising from ferromagnetism and spin-orbit coupling within its Mn kagome layers. Inelastic neutron scattering measurements find strong ferromagnetic (FM) interactions within the Mn kagome layer and reveal a magnetic bandwidth of 230meV. The low-energy magnetic excitations are characterized by strong FM Mn-Mn and antiferromagnetic (AFM) Mn-Tb interlayer magnetic couplings. We observe weaker, competing long-range FM and AFM Mn-Mn interlayer interactions similar to those driving helical magnetism in the YMn6Sn6 system. Combined with density-functional theory calculations, we find that competing Mn-Mn interlayer magnetic interactions occur in all RMn6Sn6 compounds with R=Y, Gd-Lu, resulting in magnetic instabilities and tunability when Mn-R interactions are weak. In the case of TbMn6Sn6, strong AFM Mn-Tb coupling ensures a highly stable three-dimensional ferrimagnetic network.

拓扑FerrimagnetTbMn6Sn6中的低温竞争磁能标度

66是一种金属铁磁体,显示出拓扑电子和拓扑磁子的特征,这些特征是由其 Mn kagome 层内的铁磁性和自旋轨道耦合产生的。非弹性中子散射测量发现 Mn kagome 层内有强铁磁 (FM) 相互作用,并揭示了磁带宽230毫伏特. 低能磁激发的特点是强 FM Mn-Mn 和反铁磁 (AFM) Mn-Tb 层间磁耦合。我们观察到较弱的、相互竞争的长程 FM 和 AFM Mn-Mn 层间相互作用,类似于在66系统。结合密度泛函理论计算,我们发现竞争的 Mn-Mn 层间磁相互作用发生在所有R66化合物与R=, Gd-Lu,当 Mn- 时导致磁不稳定性和可调性R相互作用很弱。如果是66,强大的 AFM Mn-Tb 耦合确保了高度稳定的三维亚铁磁网络。
