Emergent electric field from magnetic resonances in a one-dimensional chiral magnet

Abstract

The emergent electric field (EEF) is a fictitious electric field acting on conduction electrons through the Berry phase mechanism. The EEF is generated by the dynamics of noncollinear spin configurations and becomes nonzero even in one dimension. Although the EEF has been studied for several one-dimensional chiral magnets, most of the theoretical studies were limited with respect to the strength and direction of the magnetic fields. Furthermore, the effect of edges of the system has not been clarified, whereas it can be crucial in nano- and micro-scale samples. Here, we perform a theoretical study on the momentum-frequency profile of the EEF in a one-dimensional chiral magnet while changing the strength and direction of the magnetic field for both bulk and finite-size chains with edges. As the bulk contributions, we find that the EEF is resonantly enhanced at the magnetic resonance frequencies; interestingly, the higher resonance modes are more clearly visible in the EEF response than in the magnetic one. Furthermore, we show that the EEF is amplified along with the solitonic feature of the spin texture introduced by the static magnetic field perpendicular to the chiral axis. We also show that the static magnetic field parallel to the chiral axis drives the EEF in the field direction, in addition to much slower drift motion in the opposite direction associated with the Archimedean screw dynamics, suggesting a DC electric current generation. As the edge contributions, we find additional resonance modes localized at the edges of the system that are also more clearly visible in the EEF response than the magnetic one. Our results reveal that the emergent electric phenomena in one-dimensional chiral magnets can be tuned by the magnetic field and the sample size, and provide not only a good probe of the magnetic resonances but also a platform for the applications to electronic devices.
