Intrinsic magnetic topological materials

Topological states of matter possess bulk electronic structures categorized by topological invariants and edge/surface states due to the bulk-boundary correspondence. Topological materials hold great potential in the development of dissipationless spintronics, information storage and quantum computation, particularly if combined with magnetic order intrinsically or extrinsically. Here, we review the recent progress in the exploration of intrinsic magnetic topological materials, including but not limited to magnetic topological insulators, magnetic topological metals, and magnetic Weyl semimetals. We pay special attention to their characteristic band features such as the gap of topological surface state, gapped Dirac cone induced by magnetization (either bulk or surface), Weyl nodal point/line and Fermi arc, as well as the exotic transport responses resulting from such band features. We conclude with a brief envision for experimental explorations of new physics or effects by incorporating other orders in intrinsic magnetic topological materials.     

Interplay of iron and rare-earth magnetic order in rare-earth iron pnictide superconductors under magnetic field

The magnetic properties of iron pnictide superconductors with magnetic rare-earth ions under strong magnetic field are investigated based on the cluster self-consistent field method. Starting from an effective Heisenberg model, we present the evolution of magnetic structures on magnetic field in RFeAsO(R = Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, and Tb) and RFe_2As_2(R =Eu) compounds. It is found that spin-flop transition occurs in both rare-earth and iron layers under magnetic field, in good agreement with the experimental results. The interplay between rare-earth and iron spins plays a key role in the magneticfield-driven magnetic phase transition, which suggests that the rare-earth layers can modulate the magnetic behaviors of iron layers. In addition, the factors that affect the critical magnetic field for spin-flop transition are also discussed.     

Lorentz transmission electron microscopy studies on topological magnetic domains

Lorentz transmission electron microscopy(TEM) is a powerful tool to study the crystal structures and magnetic domain structures in correlation with novel physical properties. Nanometric topological magnetic configurations such as vortices, bubbles, and skyrmions have received enormous attention from the viewpoint of both fundamental science and potential applications in magnetic logic and memory devices, in which understanding the physical properties of magnetic nanodomains is essential. In this review article, several magnetic imaging methods in Lorentz TEM including the Fresnel and Foucault modes, electron holography, and differential phase contrast(DPC) techniques are discussed, where the novel properties of topological magnetic domains are well addressed. In addition, in situ Lorentz TEM demonstrates that the topological domains can be efficiently manipulated by electric currents, magnetic fields, and temperatures, exhibiting novel phenomena under external fields, which advances the development of topological nanodomain-based spintronics.     

On the anomalous low-resistance state and exceptional Hall component in hard-magnetic Weyl nanoflakes

Magnetic topological materials, which combine magnetism and topology, are expected to host emerging topological states and exotic quantum phenomena. In this study, with the aid of greatly enhanced coercive fields in high-quality nanoflakes of the magnetic Weyl semimetal Co_3Sn_2S_2, we investigate anomalous electronic transport properties that are difficult to reveal in bulk Co_3Sn_2S_2 or other magnetic materials. When the magnetization is antiparallel to the applied magnetic field, the low longitudinal resistance state occurs, which is in sharp contrast to the high resistance state for the parallel case. Meanwhile, an exceptional Hall component that can be up to three times larger than conventional anomalous Hall resistivity is also observed for transverse transport. These anomalous transport behaviors can be further understood by considering nonlinear magnetic textures and the chiral magnetic field associated with Weyl fermions, extending the longitudinal and transverse transport physics and providing novel degrees of freedom in the spintronic applications of emerging topological magnets.

Dynamics of magnetic skyrmions

We review the recent progress on the magnetic skyrmions in chiral magnetic materials.The magnetic skyrmion is a topological spin configuration with localized spatial extent,which could be thought of as an emergent rigid particle,owing to its particular topological and chiral properties.Static skyrmionic configurations have been found in various materials with different transport and thermodynamic properties.The magnetic skyrmions respond to externally applied fields in a very unique way,and their coupling to other quasiparticles in solid-state systems gives rise to the emergent electrodynamics.Being not only theoretically important,the magnetic skyrmion is also very promising to be the information carrier in next generation spintronic devices.     

Hexagonal wurtzite MnO in ferromagnetic state: A magnetic topological spin-gapless Weyl semimetal

Magnetic topological materials have attracted increasingly attentions in recent years due to their exotic electronic behaviors emerging from the couplings of topological, magnetic, and crystalline symmetries. In this work, based on the first-principles calculations, we propose that hexagonal wurtzite MnO is a magnetic topological spin-gapless semi-half-metal with two pairs of type-I Weyl fermions near the Fermi level in ferromagnetic state, which is a promising candidate material in spintronic and piezoelectric applications. In the absence of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), it hosts one triple degeneracy point (TP) in the irreducible Brillouin zone. Owing to weak SOC, the TP splits into two type-I Weyl points that are very close to each other. The Fermi arc surface states connecting the projected Weyl points with opposite chirality are observed. Our results therefore provide a wonderful platform to study the interplay of magnetism and topology.     

Magnetic Textures and Dynamics in Magnetic Weyl Semimetals

Recent theoretical and experimental attempts have been successful in finding magnetic Weyl semimetal phases, which show nodal-point structure in the electronic bands as well as magnetic orders. Beyond uniform ferromagnetic or antiferromagnetic orders, nonuniform magnetic textures, such as domain walls and skyrmions, enrich the properties of the Weyl electrons even more in such materials. Here, a topical review on interplay between Weyl electrons and magnetic textures in those magnetic Weyl semimetals is given. The basics of magnetic textures in nontopological magnetic metals are reviewed first, and then the effect of magnetic textures in Weyl semimetals is discussed, regarding the recent theoretical and experimental progress therein. The idea of the fictitious “axial gauge fields” is pointed out, which effectively describes the effect of magnetic textures on the Weyl electrons and can well account for the properties of the electrons localized around magnetic domain walls.
