Anomalous Proximitized Transport in Metal/Quantum Magnet Heterostructure $\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_2\mathrm{I}{\mathrm{r}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7/Y{\mathrm{b}}_2\mathrm{T}{\mathrm{i}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$

Abstract

Fluctuations of quantum spins play a crucial role in the emergence of exotic magnetic phases and excitations. The lack of the charge degree of freedom in insulating quantum magnets, however, precludes such fluctuations from mediating electronic transport. Here we show that the quantum fluctuations of a localized frustrated magnet induce strong proximitized charge transport of the conduction electrons in a synthetic heterostructure comprising an epitaxial $\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_2\mathrm{I}{\mathrm{r}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$ ultrathin film on the single crystal of $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{b}}_2\mathrm{T}{\mathrm{i}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$. The proximity effects are evidenced by the scaling behavior of the $\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_2\mathrm{I}{\mathrm{r}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$ resistance in correspondance with the dynamic scaling of the dynamic spin correlation function of $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{b}}_2\mathrm{T}{\mathrm{i}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$, which is a result of quantum fluctuations near a multi-phase quantum critical point. The proximitized transport in $\mathrm{B}{\mathrm{i}}_2\mathrm{I}{\mathrm{r}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$ can be effectively tuned by magnetic field through suppressing the quantum spin fluctuations as well as inducing transitions via magnetic anisotropy in $\mathrm{Y}{\mathrm{b}}_2\mathrm{T}{\mathrm{i}}_2{\mathrm{O}}_7$. Our work establishes a new pathway for harnessing quantum spin fluctuations in magnetic insulators with electric transport, offering exciting prospects for potential applications in the realm of quantum spintronics.
