I introduction
Dirac and Weyl materials are semimetals whose valence and conduction bands have a linear dispersion in the vicinity of the Fermi energy Burkov (2016); Armitage et al. (2018). These gapless band crossings, which are protected by topology or crystalline symmetries, can give rise to massless quasi–particle excitations which can be described by the relativistic Dirac or Weyl equations. Materials that host such fermions possess a range of desirable physical properties: exceptionally high electrical and thermal conductivities, immunity to disorder and ballistic electronic transport Rau et al. (2016); Pesin and Balents (2010); Hasan and Kane (2010).
Weyl semimetals (WSMs) can occur in crystals with broken spatial inversion symmetry (IS), broken time-reversal symmetry (TRS), or both. Examples of the first type (with broken IS only) were found in 2015 Lv et al. (2015); Huang et al. (2015); Xu et al. (2015); Yang et al. (2015), but realizations of WSMs with broken TRS are still rare Armitage et al. (2018). Recently, the layered AFM YbMnBi2 was proposed as a potential candidate Borisenko et al. (2019). The evidence from angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) is quite convincing Borisenko et al. (2019), and there is also some support from optics Chaudhuri et al. (2017); Chinotti et al. (2016).
The tetragonal unit cell of YbMnBi2, which can be described by the space group (No. 129), includes alternating Bi square layers that host the possible Weyl fermions, Klemenz et al. (2019); Borisenko et al. (2019); Chinotti et al. (2016); Chaudhuri et al. (2017); Wang et al. (2016a); Liu et al. (2017a); Pal et al. (2018) and MnBi4 tetrahedral layers which contain magnetic moments on the Mn atoms [See Fig. 1(a)]. In the antiferromagnetically (AFM) ordered phase, below K, neighbouring Mn spins are reported to be antiparallel within the plane, but crucially, they are ferromagnetically stacked along the –axis Wang et al. (2016a); Zaliznyak et al. (2017); Liu et al. (2017a). This means that magnetic coupling to the Bi conduction states is allowed at the mean–field level, which can lead to band splitting.
In Ref. Borisenko et al., 2019, it was argued that creation of Weyl points by TRS breaking in YbMnBi2 requires a 10∘ canting of the Mn moments away from the -axis. If present, this canting would generate a net ferromagnetic component in the -plane of YbMnBi2 , and would account for the Weyl nodes and arcs observed in the ARPES data. Such a small deviation in the moment direction from the -axis would not have been discernible in the magnetic peak studied in the previous neutron diffraction measurements Wang et al. (2016a); Zaliznyak et al. (2017); Liu et al. (2017a), so the possibility that YbMnBi2 might be a WSM by this mechanism remains to tested.
Moreover, if the AFM order of manganese creates Weyl fermions, which then dominate the electronic transport Wang et al. (2016a); Liu et al. (2017a), then these quasiparticle excitations could play be expected to play some role in the exchange coupling between Mn moments which could in turn influence the magnon spectrum. As the magnetic order is key to the behavior of YbMnBi2 as a topological material, measurements of the magnon spectrum, and the exchange parameters derived from it, could provide additional information on the presence of Weyl fermions near the Fermi energy.
In light of this, we set out in this study, (i) to search for evidence of a canted magnetic structure by neutron diffraction, and (ii) to investigate the magnon spectrum in the AFM phase of YbMnBi2 through inelastic neutron scattering. To achieve the required sensitivity to the predicted ferromagnetic component of the proposed canted magnetic structure, we performed careful measurements of the weak nuclear reflections. Furthermore, to identify any anomalies in the magnetic exchange between Mn moments associated with the presence of Weyl fermions, we compare the observed magnon spectrum with that of Dirac semimetal CaMnBi2 Rahn et al. (2017), which is isostructural to YbMnBi2. We demonstrate that the Mn sublattice in YbMnBi2 has C-type AFM ordering below K, with the moments aligned along the -axis to within (at confidence level). Moreover, we find no evidence from the magnon spectrum for anomalous magnetic coupling between the Mn spins. Our results rule out the existence of magnetically-induced Weyl fermions in the bulk of YbMnBi2 , but leave open the possibility that the 10∘ canting of the Mn moments needed to form the Weyl nodes might occur at the surface.
II Experimental Details
Single crystalline YbMnBi2 was grown by the self-flux method. The starting materials were mixed together in a molar ratio of Yb:Mn:Bi = 1:1:8. The mixture was placed into an alumina crucible, sealed in a quartz tube, then slowly heated to 900∘C and kept at this temperature for 10 hours. The assembly was subsequently cooled down to 400∘C at a rate of 3∘C/hour. It was finally taken out of the furnace at 400∘C and was put into a centrifuge immediately to remove the excess Bi. The structure and quality of the single crystals was checked with laboratory x–rays on a 6–circle diffractometer (Oxford Diffraction) and Laue diffractometer (Photonic Science). A superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer (Quantum Design) was used to study the magnetization of YbMnBi2 as a function of temperature. These zero-field-cooled (ZFC) magnetometry measurements were performed in the temperature range 10 to 370 K in a field of 1 T applied parallel to the - and -axes of YbMnBi2.
Elastic neutron scattering of a YbMnBi2 single crystal with a mass of 76 mg was performed on a 4–circle diffractometer (D10) at the Institut Laue-Langevin (ILL) reactor source. The intensities of the reflections were studied over the temperature range of 20 to 400 K. A pyrolytic graphite (PG) monochromator was used to select the incident neutron wavelength of Å. The rocking curve of each peak was obtained by measuring the number of scattered neutrons at each rocking angle () with a mm2 area detector.
Inelastic neutron scattering measurements were performed on the triple-axis neutron spectrometer IN8 Hiess et al. (2006) with the FlatCone detector Kempa et al. (2006) at the ILL. A YbMnBi2 single crystal (mass 1 g) was initially oriented with the and crystal axes horizontal to map the spin-wave spectrum in the ( 0 ) scattering plane (see Fig. 1). The crystal was subsequently rotated by (such that the crystalline and axes were in the scattering plane) to access the ( 0) plane. Constant-energy maps were measured at various energies, . The outgoing neutron wavevector was fixed at = 3 Å*-1* ( meV) by elastically-bent Si analyzer crystals, and the required energy transfers were set by selecting the incident wavevector, , with an incident beam monochromator. For energy transfers meV, a PG double-focusing monochromator was used, and for meV an elastically-bent, perfect Si double-focusing monochromator was used.
The array of 31 detectors on the FlatCone device allows for the simultaneous acquisition of scattered intensity along arcs in reciprocal space. By rotating the single crystal about the scattering plane normal, these arcs can sweep out areas in k-space to give reciprocal space maps.
III Results and analysis
The x-ray diffraction patterns of single crystalline YbMnBi2 obtained from the 6-circle and Laue diffractometers are fully consistent with the space group, with cell parameters Å and Å (Ref. see supplemental material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/PhysRevB.00. 000000 for laboratory x-ray diffraction patterns and data analysis methods, ). Moreover, the small mosaic spread in the diffraction peaks () points to a high crystalline quality of the flux-grown crystals.
The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of YbMnBi2, with the field applied parallel to the and crystal axes, is shown in Fig. 2(a). The anomaly in the data at K is associated with the onset of AFM order in the Mn2+ sublattice. This value for the Néel temperature is consistent with those reported in earlier studies of YbMnBi2 Borisenko et al. (2019); Wang et al. (2016a); Liu et al. (2017a), as well as the neutron diffraction data presented in this work (see later). Below , the magnetic susceptibility becomes strongly anisotropic with respect to applied field, where . This bifurcation of at suggests that the manganese moments, in the ordered phase, are more susceptible to an in-plane field than a field applied along the -axis, in agreement with earlier reports Borisenko et al. (2019); Wang et al. (2016a). At low temperatures (below 50 K), the susceptibility grows in both field directions. This upturn is likely due to a small concentration of a Mn-containing paramagnetic impurity phase, and is observed in other members of the MnBi2 family ( = Sr, Ca, Ba) Guo et al. (2014); Li et al. (2016); Wang et al. (2016b).
III.1 Elastic Neutron Scattering
Neutron diffraction data in the temperature range 20 to 400 K are presented in Fig. 2(b). As the sample was cooled below K, the peak, which is otherwise forbidden in the space group, was observed. This reflection is consistent with a magnetic propagation vector of . The onset of this purely magnetic peak at reveals the incipient AFM order of the Mn2+ sublattice. The temperature dependence of the integrated peak intensity fits very well to a power law, , with critical exponent = 0.38(2), consistent with the 3D Heisenberg universality class.
The predicted canting of the Mn2+ moments away from the –axis Borisenko et al. (2019); Chaudhuri et al. (2017); Chinotti et al. (2016) should produce a small –plane ferromagnetic component. Given that magnetic neutron scattering is sensitive to the component of the ordered moment perpendicular to the scattering vector Q,Squires (2012) we can isolate this small in-plane component by studying the intensity of reflections with . If there were an in-plane ferromagnetic component then the intensity of peaks should increase on cooling below , as was observed in a sister compound SrMnSb2 Liu et al. (2017b), where a small in-plane ferromagnetic contribution to the nuclear peak was reported111Note that the and axis in Ref. Liu et al., 2017b are interchanged with respect to those defined in the present work. SrMnBi2 suffers from an off stoichiometry and is better described by Sr1-yMn1-zSb2 ..
To minimize the reduction of the scattered intensity due to the magnetic form factor of Mn2+, we studied the reflections with the smallest Q, namely the and peaks, as shown in Fig. 2(b). We observe no discernible change in the integrated intensity of these peaks apart from the gradual increase with decreasing temperature which can be attributed to the Debye–Waller factor.
In Fig. 2(c) we show the intensity of the peak on a magnified scale, together with lines calculated assuming tilt angles of , 5∘ and 10∘. The curve is a quadratic fit to the data, and the other two curves are obtained by adding the calculated magnetic intensity of the peak to the curve based on the measured intensity of the peak. We also calculated the variation of the goodness-of-fit statistic as a continuous function of tilt angle, see inset to Fig. 2(c). From the distribution, we find that the probability of a tilt angle greater than is only 5%.
These results imply that the ordered moments in YbMnBi2 are collinear and aligned along the -axis to within at a confidence level. Hence, a 10∘ canting of Mn2+ moments away from the -axis, as required to create the Weyl nodes, can be excluded.
III.2 Inelastic Neutron Scattering
Constant-energy maps of the scattering intensity recorded in the and reciprocal lattice planes at various energy transfers, , are shown in Figs. 3 and 4, respectively. We discuss the data from the different scattering planes in turn, starting with the data, which appears in the top half of each panel in Fig. 3.
We find the lowest energy spin-wave mode at the point, with an energy gap of meV. This gap is caused by the magnetic anisotropy which favors spin alignment along the axis. At = 20 meV, we find pinch points in the magnon spectrum at the high symmetry point , that is, halfway between points in adjacent Brillouin zones along . These pinch points form as a result of the dispersion along the -axis. For meV, the magnon dispersion along goes away, and the intensity becomes independent of . In other words, the Mn spin dynamics becomes two-dimensional. The spectrum reaches a maximum along the high symmetry line at = 60 meV.
We now turn to the reciprocal space maps in the scattering plane at various energy transfers, which correspond to the left half of each panel in Fig. 4. Just as in the plane, we observe the lowest energy excitations at the point in the Brillouin zone at meV. For meV, the spectrum develops into rings centered at , which is characteristic of isotropically dispersing spin waves in the plane. At = 26.5 meV, we observe a saddle in the spin-wave spectrum appearing at the high symmetry point . The maximum in the dispersion is once again found at the point, at meV.
To obtain the spin-wave dispersion, cuts were made along the and high symmetry lines [see Fig. 1(b)] through the measured intensity maps in the and planes, respectively. The intensity in cuts at various was fitted with peak functions to identify the magnon wavevectors for each . In Fig. 5 we present the measured spin-wave dispersion determined this way.
In order to model the observed magnon spectrum we employed the effective spin Hamiltonian
[TABLE]
where is the (isotropic) exchange between Mn spins and on sites and , and is a single-ion anisotropy parameter making the axis an easy axis. In the first summation, we include first and second nearest neighbors in the plane ( and ), and nearest neighbors along the axis (). We used linear spin-wave theory as implemented in the SpinW softwareToth and Lake (2015) to calculate the magnon spectrum.
By fitting the linear spin-wave model to the measured dispersion we find values for the parameters = 22.6(5) meV, = 7.8(5) meV, meV and = 0.37(4) meV (see Supplemental Material for detailssee supplemental material at http://link.aps.org/supplemental/10.1103/PhysRevB.00. 000000 for laboratory x-ray diffraction patterns and data analysis methods ), where is the spin quantum number, which for Mn2+ is . Based on these parameters, we present the calculated constant-energy intensity maps in the and planes on the lower and right halves of the panels in Figs. 3 and 4, respectively, and we plot the calculated magnon spectrum along high symmetry directions in Fig. 5. Overall, we find that the calculated spectrum agrees very well with the data.
IV Discussion
As neutron diffraction probes the entire volume of the sample, our results rule out the possibility of magnetically-induced Weyl nodes in the bulk of YbMnBi2. On the other hand, neutron diffraction would not be sensitive to a canting of the magnetic moments at the surface of the sample. Such a canting, if present, would reconcile the results of the present study with the work by Borisenko et al. Borisenko et al. (2019).
In YbMnBi2, the spontaneous magnetic order in the Mn sublattice coexists with massless quasiparticle excitations arising from the Bi square net. Armed with the best-fit parameters of the linear spin-wave model, we are now in the position to address whether the magnon spectrum in YbMnBi2 differs in any detectable way compared with other related systems. For instance, one might expect to see differences in the inter-layer exchange coupling parameter if the conducting states on the Bi layers were very unusual in YbMnBi2 .
To elucidate this, we compare the fitted spin-wave model parameters obtained in this work with those of CaMnBi2, which is isostructural to YbMnBi2 . CaMnBi2 possesses a near identical Néel temperature to YbMnBi2 of = 290 K, Rahn et al. (2017); Guo et al. (2014) and is predicted to be a Dirac semimetal. Feng et al. (2014); Wang et al. (2012); Zhang et al. (2016) Using the same Hamiltonian (1), the three magnetic exchange parameters in CaMnBi2 were found to be = 23.4(6) meV, = 7.9(5) meV and = meV, Rahn et al. (2017) which are the same as those of YbMnBi2 to within experimental error.The anisotropy parameter for CaMnBi2, meV, is about half that for YbMnBi2, which reflects that the energy gap at is slightly smaller in CaMnBi2 than in YbMnBi2. These results demonstrate that the magnon spectrum of YbMnBi2 does not show any anomalous behavior relative to that of CaMnBi2.
More broadly, this suggests that replacing the divalent alkali-earth metal Ca2+ on the site of MnBi2 with the rare-earth Yb2+ ion does not significantly enhance the coupling between the magnetism in the octahedral MnBi4 layers and the charge carriers in the Bi square net. This is despite the fact that the atom is situated along the direct exchange path between the Mn and Bi atoms. In a recent review of the wider Mn family of compounds, Klemenz et al. Klemenz et al. (2019) suggested another route to enhance the coupling between magnetism and the topological charge carriers, namely to have a magnetic ion on the site (like Eu2+) rather than non–magnetic ions such as Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+ and Yb2+. This was prompted by the fact that the site atom is in closer proximity to the square Bi compared to the Mn2+ ion and might lead to a greater orbital overlap and thus magnetic exchange interaction. In fact, this was considered in Refs. Chinotti et al., 2016; Borisenko et al., 2019, where the electronic structure and optical properties of EuMnBi2 and YbMnBi2 were compared. The divalent rare-earth ions on the site of both MnBi2 compounds have comparable ionic radius and very similar relative positions to the Bi square layer, but with the difference that Eu2+ has half-filled orbitals compared to the fully-filled case for Yb2+. This leads to a large pure-spin magnetic moment of 7 on the site of EuMnBi2, and a non-magnetic ion on the site of YbMnBi2 . These studies demonstrate a marked increase in coupling between magnetism and the topological charge carriers in EuMnBi2 compared to that in YbMnBi2, which is consistent with magnetotransport studies Borisenko et al. (2019); May et al. (2014a); Masuda et al. (2016, 2018); Wang et al. (2016a). This suggests that in EuMnBi2, compared to YbMnBi2, a greater coupling of magnetism to the pnictide square net can be achieved with magnetic species on the site, which for the extended Mn (or 112-pnictide) family, is closer to the pnictide layer compared to Mn.
Finally, it is instructive to compare the physical properties of YbMnBi2 with that of YbMnSb2, which is isostructural to YbMnBi2 Wang et al. (2018); Kealhofer et al. (2018) and also exhibits Mn AFM order with a similar magnetic ordering temperature of = 345 K. A comparison of the band structures of the two 112 pnictides reveal a greater extent of inversion in the conduction and valence bands in YbMnBi2, with several band crossings at as shown Refs. Borisenko et al., 2019; Chaudhuri et al., 2017, compared to that in YbMnSb2. Kealhofer et al. (2018) Moreover, the Shubnikov–de Haas (SdH) oscillation of the magneto–transport in both compounds reveals that the effective mass of the charge carriers in YbMnBi2 ( Liu et al. (2017a)) is approximately twice that of YbMnSb2 as reported in Refs. Kealhofer et al., 2018; Wang et al., 2018.
These features can be understood from the relative sizes of the spin–orbit coupling (SOC) in the pnictide square conducting layers, which is significantly larger in YbMnBi2 as Bi is times heavier than Sb. Given that the linear band crossing along the – high symmetry line is not protected by symmetry, the doubly–degenerate pnictide (Sb 5 or Bi 6) bands hybridize and give rise to an avoided Dirac crossing. As such, the stronger SOC in YbMnBi2 produces a larger energy gap in the electronic bands, resulting in a heavier effective mass of the charge carriers compared to that in YbMnSb2. This is consistent with the work in Ref. Liu et al., 2016, which explored the effect of the masses of pnictides on the physical properties of BaMn ( = Sb, Bi). In that work, Liu et al. also proposed that a more suitable platform to realize massless Dirac fermions is in replacing Bi with lighter elements in the same group. This demonstrates that the 112 pnictide family of compounds offers strong tunability of the effective mass of the charge carriers from the size of the SOC.
V Conclusion
We have presented the magnetic structure and magnon spectrum of the candidate Weyl semimetal YbMnBi2. The family of nuclear reflections does not display any additional magnetic contribution below , and this rules out the mechanism for creation of Weyl nodes via TRS-breaking through canting of the Mn spins. Hence, we demonstrate that bulk YbMnBi2 is a Dirac semimetal rather than a host for the WSM state. We have not ruled out the possibility of spin canting at the surface, which could reconcile the present results with those of Ref. Borisenko et al., 2019. The lack of any anomalous features in the magnon spectrum implies a weak coupling between magnetism and the topological charge carriers. YbMnBi2 belongs to the wider Mn family of compounds which are currently attracting strong interest owing to its strong potential for spintronic applications. We hope that the understanding of YbMnBi2 achieved here will contribute to the development of strategies for enhancing the exchange coupling between charge transport and magnetism, and for reducing the effective mass of the quasiparticles.
