Magnetic instability under ferroaxial moment
arXiv:2312.02444 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.174424
Abstract
Magnetic anisotropy is one of the important factors in determining magnetic structures. A type of magnetic anisotropy is closely related to the symmetry of crystals. We theoretically investigate magnetic anisotropy and its related magnetic instability arising from an electric axial moment, which appears under the breaking of the mirror symmetry parallel to the moment but does not require the breakings of both spatial inversion and time-reversal symmetries. By performing perturbation and mean-field calculations in a complementary way, we show the appearance of the in-plane magnetic anisotropy when the electric axial moment occurs, which tends to tilt in-plane spin moments from the crystal axes in collaboration with relativistic spin--orbit coupling. We demonstrate such a tendency for single-site and four-site cluster models, the latter of which leads to the instability toward a spin vortex phase accompanying magnetic monopole and magnetic toroidal dipole.
