Nature of Interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interactions in Graphene/Co/Pt(111) Multilayer Heterostructures
arXiv:2111.08556 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.106.064426
Abstract
DFT calculations within the generalized Bloch theorem approach show that interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions (DMI) at both interfaces of Graphene/Co/Pt(111) multilayer heterostructures are decoupled for . Unlike the property of magnetocrystalline anisotropy for this system, DMI is not affected by stacking defects in the Co layer. The effect of Graphene (Gr) is to invert the chirality of the vaccum/Co interfacial DMI, overall reducing the DMI of the heterostructure, which is nevertheless dominated by the strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) of Pt. A spectral analysis in the reciprocal space shows that DMI at both the Gr/Co and Co/Pt interfaces have the same nature, namely SOC-split hybrid bands of -orbital character. This proves that a DMI model based on a single band, such the Rashba DMI model, is insuficient to describe the behaviour of this family of Gr-capped metal heterostructures.
