Evidence of magnetoelectronic electromagnon mediated transport in flexoelectronic heterostructures

Abstract

The superposition of atomic vibrations and flexoelectronic effect gives rise to a cross correlation between free charge carriers and temporal magnetic moment of phonons in conducting heterostructures under an applied strain gradient. The resulting dynamical coupling is expected to give rise to quasiparticle excitations called as magnetoelectronic electromagnon that carries electronic charge and temporal magnetic moment. Here, we report experimental evidence of magnetoelectronic electromagnon in the freestanding degenerately doped p-Si based heterostructure thin film samples. These quasiparticle excitations give rise to long-distance (>100um) spin transport; demonstrated using spatially modulated transverse magneto-thermoelectric and non-local resistance measurements. The magnetoelectronic electromagnons are non-reciprocal and give rise to large magnetochiral anisotropy (0.352 A-1T-1) that diminishes at lower temperatures. The superposition of non-reciprocal magnetoelectronic electromagnons gives rise to longitudinal and transverse modulations in charge carrier density, spin density and magnetic moment; demonstrated using the Hall effect and edge dependent magnetoresistance measurements, which can also be called as inhomogeneous magnetoelectronic multiferroic effect. These quasiparticle excitations are analogues to photons where time dependent polarization and temporal magnetic moment replaces electric and magnetic field, respectively and most likely topological because it manifests topological Nernst effect. Hence, the magnetoelectronic electromagnon can potentially give rise to quantum interference and entanglement effects in conducting solid state system at room temperature in addition to efficient spin transport.
