    Abstract

    Rare-earth–transition-metal (RE–TM) ferrimagnets are excellent materials for spin encode/decode operations via spin transport in nonmagnetic regions. This superior performance stems from two key factors. First, the antiferromagnetic coupling between RE4f and TM3d sublattices reduces both the spin–transfer–torque switching time and inter-device magnetic-coupling. Second, the RE–TM ferrimagnets function as spin injectors/ejectors, with the TM3d sublattice solely responsible for carrier spin polarization (p), similar to conventional ferromagnetic metals. We performed spin transport experiments using the sign change of p in RE–TM, which exhibits a positive value above the magnetization compensation temperature and a negative value below it. We measured temperature dependencies of the transverse resistances ( ) of electron–hole compensated metal YH2 under out-of-plane spin-polarized current injection/ejection from GdFeCo (Gd:Fe:Co = 25:66:9). The abrupt change in loop polarity of the out-of-plane field dependence of in YH2 between 290 and 300 K, which aligns with the out-of-field curve of the polar Kerr rotation in GdFeCo electrodes, strongly suggests that the observed results from the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in YH2. We analytically formulated ISHE in terms of the electron and hole spin currents injected from the spin sources, enabling regression analysis to assess the spin transport characteristics of a GdFeCo/YH2/GdFeCo magnetic double heterostructure. To explain the observed Hall voltages, enhancements in both the spin diffusion length of YH2 and the spin injection efficiency are necessary.

  • Long-distance spin communication via ambipolar conductor with electron–hole spin exchange interaction

    Abstract

    Spin accumulation in a nonmagnetic (N) metal embedded between two ferromagnetic metals is still crucial in current spintronics because long-distance spin communication via the N metal can make all-spin logic (ASL) devices feasible. Graphene is almost the only N-region material suitable for ASL devices because its low intrinsic spin–orbit coupling results in a spin diffusion length, , of over 30 µm at room temperature, but long-distance spin communication beyond remains difficult. The present study proposes a way to remove the restriction caused by . In our proposal, an ambipolar conductor, in which electron and hole contribute to electronic conduction and interact with each other, is used for the N-region in a double-heterojunction magnetic structure. When the electron–hole interaction is accompanied by spin exchange, long-distance spin communication characteristic is predicted. Approximately 70 types of ambipolar conductors, including elemental metals and metal alloys, are available. Hence, this material variation may open a new spintronics field, ambipolar spintronics, which may realize operation mechanisms that cannot be achieved using conventional single-band metals. Finally, we present a comprehensive argument on the interface-mediated coupling mechanism between spins and charges, which is the basis of the generation of the spin-coupled interface voltage.

    Abstract

    Spin-charge (SC) coupling is crucial in spintronics and the coupling mechanisms can be classified into bulk characteristic via spin-orbit interaction (SOI) or the interfacial characteristic provided by a junction formed by magnetic and nonmagnetic conductors. The two types of SC couplings account for the transverse resistance (TR) in a planer channel subjected to out-of-plane-polarized spin current injection. This is because interfacial spin-accumulation induces the diffusive transport of spin-angular momentum, which is converted into transverse charge accumulation via SOI. We explore the SC coupling characteristics of a lateral junction consisting of (i) a rare-earth transition metal (RE-TM) ferrimagnet with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and (ii) a compensated metal, YH2, where electrons and holes simultaneously participate in spin and charge transports. This set-up allows us to observe the TR, which mirrors the magnetization of the RE-TM employed as the current-source electrode in the planer Hall-bar structure. The results show that the inverse spin Hall effect contributes significantly to the TR. Along with the TR measurement, we formulate a minimal expression of the TR when out-of-plane-polarized electron and hole spin currents are injected from the magnetic electrode. Since this formulation is independent of the details of the SC coupling mechanism, it is applied to interpret the observation result to reveal the SC coupling characteristics of the RE-TM and YH2 set-up.

  • Spatiotemporal characteristics of spin transport in compensated metals with electron–hole exchange interaction

    Abstract

    We develop a theory describing spatiotemporal behavior of spin transport in two-band metals by postulating a spin–exchange interaction between electrons and holes. Starting with the semiclassical Boltzmann equation, we derive a system of coupled diffusion equations and solve them analytically under steady-state conditions. The solutions reveal two types of electron–hole coupled-spin transport modes: a dissipative mode and a nondissipative mode with an infinite spin diffusion length. The two modes are the manifestations of two types of spin coupling channels. Besides the exchange interaction, we incorporate into our derivation the relaxation caused by the spin–orbit interaction to show how it affects the spin transport characteristics of the two modes.

  • Spin and charge transports with thermodynamic electron–hole correlation in nearly compensated metals
    Mst. Sanjida Aktar; Masamichi Sakai; Toshihiro Yoshizumi; Shigehiko Hasegawa
    AIP Advances, Volume:10, Number:7, Jul. 2020, [Reviewed], [Corresponding]
    The long spin-relaxation time (τs) toward the large transport distance of spin current (SC) is desirable for practical applications of spintronic devices because spatially and temporally large spin coherence makes spin manipulation easier. Here, we propose that nearly compensated metals (CMs) with electron–hole collisions accompanied by spin flipping have a potential mechanism that makes τs associated with the antiparallel SC extraordinarily long, where antiparallel SC is defined as the vector subtraction of hole and electron SCs. The present theoretical study on spin and charge transports in nearly CMs shows that (i) it is antiparallel SC that satisfies the Onsager reciprocal relation in combination with conventional charge current, (ii) both longitudinal and Hall resistivities are influenced by the enhancement of τs and are classified into two specific mechanisms, i.e., the conventional and the resonance Hall effect accompanied by a sustaining mode of antiparallel SC, and (iii) the resonance Hall effect is not influenced by the spin–orbit interaction unlike the non-resonance case. These findings indicate the potential of nearly CMs in application of spintronic materials.

    We have proposed an enhancement mechanism of the Hall effect, the signal of which is amplified due to the generation of a sustaining mode of spin current. Our analytic derivations of the Hall resistivity revealed the conditions indispensable for the observation of the effect: (i) the presence of the transverse component of an effective electric field due to spin splitting in chemical potential in addition to the longitudinal component
    (ii) the simultaneous presence of holes and electrons each having approximately the same characteristics
    (iii) spin-polarized current injection from magnetized electrodes
    (iv) the boundary condition for the transverse current (J c, y = 0). The model proposed in this study was experimentally verified by using van der Pauw-type Hall devices consisting of the nonmagnetic bipolar conductor YH x (x ≃ 2) and TbFeCo electrodes. Replacing Au electrodes with TbFeCo electrodes alters the Hall resistivity from the ordinary Hall effect to the anomalous Hall-like effect with an enhancement factor of approximately 50 at 4 T. We interpreted the enhancement phenomenon in terms of the present model.

    Highly-ordered fused-ring poly copper phthalocyanine (PCuPc) was prepared using copper octacyanophthalocyanine as a building block, and two-dimensional (2D) square superlattices were directly observed by the transmission electron microscopy. Remarkably, we have found a formation of polymer network that consists of a 2D porous PCuPc sheet in which the centers of phthalocyanine units are alternately occupied by Cu atom and vacancy. Using this “half-filling” PCuPc, it must be possible to create alternating arrangements for transition metal centers, and therefore control the magnetic properties of the 2D carbon sheets.

    A simple method for the preparation of bulk quantities of magnetic carbon materials, which contain uniformly dispersed transition metals (M = Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu) as the magnetic components, is presented. By using highly chlorinated metal phthalocyanine as the building block and potassium as the coupling reagent, phthalocyanine-based carbon materials (PBCMs) containing transition metals were obtained. Our experiments demonstrate the structure of these PBCMs consists of transition metals embedded in graphitic carbon that includes a square planar MN4 magnetic core and the Fe and Co-PBCM possess spontaneous magnetization at room temperature. In addition, carbon-coated transition metal particles were obtained by the Wurtz-type reaction with excess amount of potassium coupling agent. The large transition metal surface area and magnetization of these M-PBCMs are useful for spintronic and catalytic applications.

  • Macroscopic kinematics of the Hall electric field under influence of carrier magnetic moments
    Masamichi Sakai
    AIP Advances, Volume:6, Number:6, Jun. 2016, [Reviewed], [Lead, Corresponding]
    The relativistic effect on electromagnetic forces yields two types of forces which depend on the velocity of the relevant particles: (i) the usual Lorentz force exerted on a moving charged particle and (ii) the apparent Lorentz force exerted on a moving magnetic moment. In sharp contrast with type (i), the type (ii) force originates due to the transverse field induced by the Hall effect (HE). This study incorporates both forces into a Drude-type equation with a fully spin-polarized condition to investigate the effects of self-consistency of the source and the resultant fields on the HE. We also examine the self-consistency of the carrier kinematics and electromagnetic dynamics by simultaneously considering the Drude type equation and Maxwell equations at low frequencies. Thus, our approach can predict both the dc and ac characteristics of the HE, demonstrating that the dc current condition solely yields the ordinary HE, while the ac current condition yields generation of both fundamental and second harmonic modes of the HE field. When the magnetostatic field is absent, the simultaneous presence of dc and ac longitudinal currents generates the ac HE that has both fundamental frequency and second harmonic.

    We have investigated the synthesis conditions, and the magnetic properties of the Sr2Ni2X-type hexagonal ferrite, Sr2Ni2Fe28O46. The Sr2Ni2X-type hexaferrite was synthesized at 1240∘C. The spontaneous magnetization at 5 K was 44.2 μB/f.u., suggesting that most of the Ni2+ ions are at the up-spin octahedral sites in the spinel-structure blocks within the model of a Néel-type collinear ferrimagnetic structure. The Curie temperature of the Sr2Ni2X-type hexaferrite was estimated to be TC[Sr2Ni2X] = 472∘C. This is consistent with the difference of the block stacking structures of SrM-type, Sr2Ni2X-type, SrNi2W-type, and nickel spinel ferrites.

    We report on a simple method to fabricate a magnetic carbon material that contains nitrogen-coordinated transition metals and has a large magnetic moment. Highly chlorinated iron phthalocyanine was used as building blocks and potassium as a coupling reagent to uniformly disperse nitrogen-coordinated iron atoms on the phthalocyanine based carbon material. The iron phthalocyanine based carbon material exhibits ferromagnetic properties at room temperature and the ferromagnetic phase transition occurs at Tc = 490 ± 10 K. Transmission electron microscopy observation, X-ray diffraction analysis, and the temperature dependence of magnetization suggest that the phthalocyanine molecules form three-dimensional random networks in the iron phthalocyanine based carbon material.

    We have theoretically studied the magnetotransport properties in bipolar conductors under consideration of the simultaneous presence of an external magnetic field, left-right asymmetric carrier scattering due to spin-orbit interactions, and spin-polarized holes/electrons, predicting both positive and negative transverse magnetoresistance (TMR) terms, the mechanisms of which are completely different from the conventional mechanism in bipolar conductors. The positive TMR term is predicted only for the asymmetric carrier scattering case, the sign of which is the same (negative) between a hole and an electron. The other case of asymmetric scattering, the sign of which is opposite between a hole and an electron, was also determined to always show a negative TMR. Our proposed TMR was experimentally evidenced from the magnetotransport and magnetization measurements of a compensated metal, YH2. Also, application to logic gates is discussed on the basis of our proposed mechanism. (C) 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics

    We have theoretically studied a methodology for the measurement of the degree of spin polarization (P) in metals as well as semiconductors. Our principle is based on the correlation existing between transverse resistivity (ρ y x ) and longitudinal resistivity (ρ x x ), both influenced by transverse scattering due to a spin–orbit interaction (SOI) as well as longitudinal scattering due to usual mechanisms. Our spin polarization analyzer employs an unknown polarization conductor as a source electrode from which spin-polarized electrons are injected into a nonmagnetic (NM) channel region. The channel length is set to be much smaller than its spin diffusion length so that ρ y x and ρ x x in the NM region, both complementarily influenced by carrier spin polarization, would be measured to obtain the P value. Also, application to OR and XOR logic gates are discussed on the basis of our spin polarization analyzer.

    We have theoretically studied a negative magnetoresistance (MR) the mechanism of which is completely different from conventional mechanisms, i.e., spin-related mobility-increased mechanisms and orbital-motion-related mechanisms including a quantum interference effect. Our proposed negative MR is caused by the interplay between a spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and the Lorentz force due to an externally applied magnetic field. We have phenomenologically approached this mechanism using the Drude-like model, in which the carrier scattering by SOI is considered as a transverse scattering term in addition to the longitudinal scattering term due to usual collisions and the Lorentz force term. Also, the possibility of observing our proposed negative MR was discussed by comparing our prediction with experimental results for Ni and Gd films, which were newly measured in this study.

    The ordinary Hall effect (OHE), which is caused by an external magnetic field, was studied as a mechanism for the generation of spin current. It has been theoretically elucidated that, under an open-circuit condition, the OHE can contribute to spin-current generation when spin-polarized electrons and holes are simultaneously present as mobile carriers. This OHE contribution to spin current generation is caused by the steady-state kinematics of electrons and holes whose transverse velocities have the same direction. Although anomalous Hall effects may contribute to spin-current generation, the OHE plays a principal role in the generation of spin current when electrons and holes have approximately the same transport characteristics. The experimental aspects of possible materials for the isomorphic electron and hole systems are argued on the basis of the experimental results of the magnetotransport measurement of yttrium dihydride and preliminary results of the magnetization measurement of hydrogenated films of gadolinium.

  • Appearance of a correlation between the Hall coefficient and electrical resistivity upon dihydrogenation of yttrium

    Journal of Applied Physics, Volume:108, Number:8, Oct. 2010, [Reviewed], [Lead, Corresponding]
    To shed light on the correlation between the Hall coefficient (RH) and electrical resistivity (ρ), we performed simultaneous measurements of these two transport coefficients in fcc dihydride phase of yttrium (YHx), having H/Y values ranging from 1.73 to 2.04. Unlike the typical behavior of metals, an approximately linear relationship was observed between RH and ρ at room temperature after dihydrogenation of yttrium. Interpretation of this relationship, based on the Boltzmann–Bloch scheme, reveals that the transverse (cyclotron) relaxation rate (1/τc) of the carriers is relatively insensitive to the generation of hydrogen defects in the dihydride phase of yttrium, unlike the longitudinal relaxation rate (1/τ), which is affected by the presence of hydrogen defect. Low-temperature (77 K) measurements of RH and ρ on the same samples show that the approximately linear relationship observed at room temperature disappears but a certain nonlinear relationship may exist at 77 K.

  • A complementary study of the role of the Hall electric field for generation of the force on current-carrying wire in a magnetic field

    When a current-carrying wire is placed in a transverse magnetic field, a macroscopic force and a transverse Hall electric field are generated. An experimental and theoretical study of the role of the Hall electric field on the generation of the force on the current-carrying wire was conducted employing single-carrier, conventional bipolar type conductors, and unusual bipolar type conductors, in which an approximately zero Hall electric field is expected. It is shown theoretically and experimentally that the collisions of the carrier with the ions solely contribute to the Lorentz force transmission mechanism in the unusual bipolar type conductors, whereas the action of collisions of the carrier with ions as well as the action of the Hall electric field on the lattice ions is responsible for transmission of the Lorentz force in the usual bipolar conductors. A self-consistent treatment of the generation of the Hall electric field is given.

  • Dielectric function analysis of superstoichiometric samarium dihydride films

    Journal of Applied Physics, Volume:105, Number:8, Apr. 2009, [Reviewed], [Lead, Corresponding]
    We have carried out an experimental study to reveal the dielectric function of SmHx(x=2.28,2.42,2.56,2.57) films based on room-temperature reflectivity for photon energies ranging from 0.05 to 6.5 eV. The derivation of the dielectric functions has been carried out using model dielectric functions as well as Kramers–Kronig analysis. It is inferred from our analysis that when the H/Sm value is increased from 2.28 to 2.57, (i) the interband transition band located in the ultraviolet region shows a redshift of about 1 eV, (ii) the relatively weak transition band located in the near-infrared region shows a reduction in intensity, and (iii) the unperturbed plasma frequency of free carriers decreases slightly. The behaviors (i), (ii), and (iii) caused by the H/Sm value change are thoroughly approximately the same as those observed for YHx, suggesting that these trends are characteristic of H–M systems showing a metal-insulator transition. It was also confirmed from our structural analysis that these changes in the dielectric function are achieved without a change in the lattice constant. The origin of this constancy in the lattice constant in our samples with different H/Sm values is discussed by assessing the T- and O-site hydrogen concentrations. The hydrogen incorporation effect is also observed in the magnitude of the unperturbed plasma frequency, about 1.7 eV, which is unexpectedly small compared to conventional metals. This characteristic can possibly be attributed to mass enhancement of mobile carriers; we obtained an effective mass of about 10m0 (where m0 is the free electron mass) when the carrier density estimated from the Hall coefficient value is used.

  • Magnetotransport properties in near-stoichiometric hydride films of YH2+δ under weak fields

    Journal of Applied Physics, Volume:101, Number:10, May 2007, [Reviewed], [Lead, Corresponding]
    We have investigated the basic characteristics of mobile carriers in as-deposited thin films of hexagonal-close-packed Y and hydrogenated films of face-centered-cubic YH2+δ. Hall resistance and transverse magnetoresistance measurements were carried out under magnetic fields of up to 1 T at room temperature. The Hall coefficient in YH2+δ showed a minimum value of ∼5×10−12 m3/C when the δ value reached ∼−0.1, in accordance with the δ dependence of resistivity reported previously. Quantitative analysis based on the present measurements revealed that YH2+δ is a compensated metal whose carrier density and mobility were determined to be ∼1.4×1027 (∼1.9×1027) m−3 and ∼3.5×10−3 (∼3.1×10−3) m2 V−1 s−1, respectively, for δ=0.04(−0.03) for both electrons and holes. These carrier parameters were found to account concurrently for the reflection spectral line shapes observed. The compensation observed in YH2+δ is at variance with a simple criterion used previously [E. Fawcett and W. A. Reed, Phys. Rev. 131, 2463 (1963)].

    The authors report that high-quality Zn1−xMgxO alloys are very brilliant light emitters, even more brilliant than ZnO, particularly in the high-temperature region; both the emission bandwidth and the oscillator strength of the photoluminescence from Zn1−xMgxO alloys increase remarkably with increasing Mg composition ratio x. The authors have revealed that the increase in the oscillator strength is mainly due to the increase in the activation energy required for the nonradiative recombination processes. Therefore, it is suggested that the localization of excitons, because of the compositional fluctuation, takes place in Zn1−xMgxO alloys and that the degree of the localization increases with increasing x.

    Abstract

    We have studied the effects of (i) impurity doping, (ii) rapid thermal annealing, and (iii) crystal polarity control on photoluminescence spectra in the band‐edge emission region of high quality ZnO. As a result, we have discussed the possible lattice defects responsible for some photoluminescence emission peaks, namely (i) peak I 8 appears at 3.3596 eV, (ii) peak I 9 appears at 3.3565 eV and (iii) peak G appears at 3.3327 eV.

    We have derived an analytical formula for the excitation-power dependence of the free exciton photoluminescence (PL) intensity. It has been found that the PL intensity I depends on the power of the excitation laser L as I∝L k , where k is the power index. We have deduced the analytical formula that describes the value of k for the free exciton PL emission under the above-band-gap excitation conditions. The results indicate that the value of k is in the region of 1<k<2 depending on both the value of L and material properties such as radiative and competitive nonradiative recombination probabilities.

    Photoluminescence properties of nominally undoped ZnO thin films grown by radical-source molecular-beam epitaxy have been investigated as a function of (i) sample growth conditions, (ii) excitation laser power density, and (iii) measurement temperatures. Altogether four excitonic emission peaks were observed at photon energy of 3.3646, 3.3606, 3.3572, and 3.3331 eV, which are tentatively denoted as emission peaks A, D, F, and G, respectively. We have classified the defect types responsible for the emission peaks into the following two groups; (i) D and F, whose responsible defect types are suggested to be residual impurities such as aluminum and indium, respectively, and (ii) A and G, whose responsible defect types are suggested to be intrinsic defects such as oxygen vacancies, interstitial zinc, and extended structural defects particularly for G.

    Mechanism for magnetic levitation of a steel ball in a plastic box [S. Sasaki, I. Yagi, and M. Murakami, J. Appl. Phys. 95, 2090 (2004)] was investigated quantitatively based on measurement of the magnetic moments of the steel ball and ring magnet used in levitation experiment. The two-dimensional potential energy calculated in terms of magnetic dipole-dipole interactions gives rise to a stable equilibrium position approximately in agreement with the levitating position observed in our study. The role of the diamagnetic characteristic of the plastic plates was also discussed quantitatively.

    We have investigated electron transport characteristics of a hydrogen-deficient dihydride of yttrium YH2-3 (-0.3 < & δ < 0.05) focusing particularly on the effect of hydrogen deficiency on carrier relaxation time. At room- and low-temperatures, dc-specific resistivities obtained from electrical measurements show minimum values when hydrogen-deficient quantity δ is approximately -0.1. Optical conductivities were obtained from reflectance measurements by the Kramers-Knonig transformation. When & is changed, the carrier scattering rate determined from the optical conductivity shows a behavior similar to those of dc resistivities. Not only the carrier scattering rate but also a band-gap energy E0 associated with a Γ2-Γ25 transition is influenced by the hydrogen deficiency; E0 shows a maximum value as δ is about -0.1. Hall coefficients are found to be positive but fairly small (∼10-11 m3/C), indicating that electrons as well as holes presumably contribute to electric conduction in YH2+δ.

  • NONLOCAL ELECTRO-OPTIC EFFECT IN SEMICONDUCTOR THIN FILMS

    Electroreflectance (ER) spectra of GaAs thin film/ Al 0.3 Ga 0.7 As -substrate systems are investigated theoretically by taking into account the nonlocal effect caused by the presence of a crystal surface. Calculations are carried out by following the previous work by DelSole but considering influence of film thickness and nonflat-band modulation of a static electric field. It is shown from thickness variation of ER spectra that the refractive indexes of the thin films are reduced by a factor of about 0.1 when the nonlocal effect is considered.

    By simultaneously employing GaAs and Cr4+:YAG saturable absorbers, a diode-pumped doubly passively Q-switched and mode-locked (DP-QML) Nd:Gd3Ga5O12(Nd:GGG)/KTiOPO4(KTP) green laser has been presented. At the maximum incident pump power of 7.69 W, the obtained average output power, the pulse duration of the Q-switched envelope, the mode-locked pulse width and the pulse repetition rate are 62 mW, 16.8 ns, 352 ps, and 15.5 kHz, respectively, corresponding to a pulse energy of 4.2 µJ and a peak power of 0.25 kW. In comparison with singly passively Q-switched and mode-locked (SP-QML) green laser with GaAs or Cr4+:YAG saturable absorbers, the DP-QML green laser can generate shorter pulse width, deeper modulation depth and higher peak power. The coupled equations for diode-pumped doubly passively QML Nd:GGG/KTP green laser are given and the numerical simulations are in good agreement with the experimental results.

The analysis has been performed by using i) the model dielectric functions and ii) Kramers-Kronig analysis to obtain the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric constants in SmHx. The both approaches demonstrate that the interband transition energy shows a red shift of about 1 eV when H/Sm ratio is increased from 2.28 to 2.57, though the lattice constant remains almost unchanged.

    We have investigated compensation characteristics of yttrium dihydride YH2+δ (δ=−0.03) films by measuring room-temperature galvanomagnetic properties under magnetic field B up to 1 T. The transverse voltages have been measured when a B has x and y components in addition to z component perpendicular to the sample plane. The transverse voltage shows nearly even character with respective to B, while odd characteristic could be expected from simple compensated case where the hole equals the electron only in concentration. The even character observed may be explained by letting the hole equal the electron not only in concentration but also in mobility.

    We have investigated compensation characteristics of yttriumdihydride YH2+ δfilms by measuring room-temperature galvanomagnetic properties under magnetic field B up to 1 T. The transverse voltages have been measured when a B has x and y components in addition to z component perpendicular to the sample plane (xy-plane). The transverse voltage for YH2+ δ(δ = -0.03) shows nearly even character as a function of B. The even character is probably explained by a nearly compensated case.

    We have proposed a new type of the Hall effect, the signal of which is amplified due to the generation of a sustaining mode of spin current. The conditions indispensable for the observation of the effect are (i) the presence of the transverse component of an effective electric field due to spin splitting in chemical potential in addition to the longitudinal component; (ii) the simultaneous presence of holes and electrons each having approximately the same characteristics; (iii) spin-polarized current injection from magnetized electrodes; (iv) the zero transverse current. The present model was experimentally verified by using van der Pauw-type Hall devices consisting of the nonmagnetic bipolar conductor YH2 and TbFeCo electrodes. Replacing Au electrodes with TbFeCo electrodes alters the Hall resistivity from the ordinary Hall effect to the anomalous Hall-like effect with an enhancement factor of approximately 50 at 4T, cosistent with the present model.

    We have theoretically and experimentally designed the spin-polarization analyzer making use of the quasi-zero Hall coefficient (QZHC) characteristic in bipolar conductors such as dihydride phase of Y and Sc. We derived the closed formulae of Hall resistivity (HR) and transverse magnetoresisitivity (TMR) in the presence of spin splitting in electrochemical potential (ECP) caused by spin-polarized current injection from ferromagnetic electrodes. Our experiments used Co and/or TbFeCo as source and drain electrodes, from which the spin-polarized currents are injected into the bipolar conductor region. As predicted by our calculation, both HR and TMR are enhanced when these magnetic electrodes are used instead of nonmagnetic Au electrode. The enhancement is caused by the coupling mechanism between applied magnetostatic field and spin-orbit interaction through the spin splitting in the ECP. This feature as well as material choice can be applied to operation of exclusive OR gate.

  • Generation of Spin Current in Bipolar Conductors with Quasi-Zero Hall Coefficients

    The ordinary Hall effect (OHE), which is caused by an external magnetic field, was studied as a mechanism for the generation of spin current. It has been theoretically elucidated that, under an open-circuit condition, the OHE can contribute to spin-current generation when spin-polarized electrons and holes are simultaneously present as mobile carriers. This OHE contribution to spin current generation is caused by the steady-state kinematics of electrons and holes whose transverse velocities have the same direction. The experimental aspects of possible materials for the isomorphic electron and hole systems are argued on the basis of the experimental results of the magnetotransport measurements of the quasi-zero Hall coefficient (QZHC) conductors YH_2 and Gd_xY_<1-x>H_2. For experimental verification of spin current generation, we have investigated the influence of spin injection in these QZHC conductors by employing two type of Hall devices, the current channel region of which are (A) magneticmaterial Gd_xY_<1-x>H_2 (x≒0.4) and (B) nonmagnetic YH_2 but having Co source electrodes and a shortchannel length of approximately 10 μm. Huge anomalous Hall resistivity and positive transversemagnetoresistivity are observed in both Hall devices A and B, showing the generation of spin current.

    Irradiation of halogen-bridged linear-chain platinum complex by near band-gap light produces mesoscopic defects of valance alternation peculiar to one-dimensional materials with a strong electron-phonon coupling. We have carried out systematic experiments of optical absorption, Raman scattering, and electron paramagnetic resonance in UV irradiated (Pt(en)_2) (Pt(en)_2Cl_2) (C10_4)_4 (en=ethylenediamine) to identify the valence structure of the optically induced defects and to clarify their dynamical properties which have never been studied before.
    Detailed analyses of the spectra obtained have led us to conclude that the lowest-entry state of the defect is the spin soliton with S = 1/2. Its valence structure can be regarded as an ideal dimer of Pt ions, and thus its size is as small as about 1 nm. At liquid He temperatures the spin solitons are fluctuating around their equilibrium positinos. At higher temperatres, however, they undergo the translational motin due to hopping along the linear-chain of mixed-valent platinum ions. The activation energy of the hopping motion is as low as 13 meV, so that the correlation rate amounts to 10^9 sec^<-1> at room temperature. They may also diffuse across the chains at elevated temperatures. The life time of the spin soliton is very long, probably longer than several ten hours, as far as the crystal is kept at a certain temperature below 100 K. Nevertheless, the number of spins varies reversibly if the temperature is varied. These observations indicate that the spin solitons are equilibrated thermally with a nonmagnetic state which lies in energy about 14 meV above the spin solitons. On the basis of the one-dimensional Mott-Hubbard model, our spectroscopic information on the electron-phonon coupling energy and the transfer integral suggests that this nonmagnetic state is the charged soliton.
