具有非线性和强电场响应的二维铁电Rashba材料

Large and nonlinear electric field response in a two-dimensional ferroelectric Rashba material

  • 摘要: 自旋调控是自旋电子学面临的一个关键问题,其中一种有效的方法是通过外部电场调控材料的Rashba自旋轨道耦合效应。设计具有大Rashba常数和强电场响应的二维Rashba半导体对于发展短沟道长度的自旋场效应晶体管,提高晶体管自旋相干性和集成密度至关重要。本研究采用第一性原理计算,成功设计了一种热力学稳定的二维Rashba半导体YSbTe3,其间接带隙为1.04 eV,Rashba常数为1.54 eV·Å,并具有强的电场响应,高达4.80 e·Å2。YSbTe3的Rashba系数随电场变化呈现异常的非线性关系。此外,YSbTe3也是一种二维铁电材料,其铁电极化翻转势垒较低(约0.33 eV每化学式)。通过改变电极化方向,可以反转YSbTe3的Rashba自旋纹理。这些优异的性质使得铁电Rashba半导体YSbTe3在自旋电子学领域具有广泛的应用前景。

     

    Abstract: The achievement of electrical spin control is highly desirable. One promising strategy involves electrically modulating the Rashba spin orbital coupling effect in materials. A semiconductor with high sensitivity in its Rashba constant to external electric fields holds great potential for short channel lengths in spin field-effect transistors, which is crucial for preserving spin coherence and enhancing integration density. Hence, two-dimensional (2D) Rashba semiconductors with large Rashba constants and significant electric field responses are highly desirable. Herein, by employing first-principles calculations, we design a thermodynamically stable 2D Rashba semiconductor, YSbTe3, which possesses an indirect band gap of 1.04 eV, a large Rashba constant of 1.54 eV·Å and a strong electric field response of up to 4.80 e·Å2. In particular, the Rashba constant dependence on the electric field shows an unusual nonlinear relationship. At the same time, YSbTe3 has been identified as a 2D ferroelectric material with a moderate polarization switching energy barrier (~ 0.33 eV per formula). By changing the electric polarization direction, the Rashba spin texture of YSbTe3 can be reversed. These outstanding properties make the ferroelectric Rashba semiconductor YSbTe3 quite promising for spintronic applications.
