The theory of magnetic anisotropy and susceptibility of Fe 2+ in Tutton salts has been worked out on the basis of Abragam & Pryce’s method. It is found that the anisotropic part of the crystal field changes with temperature owing to the thermal expansion of the crystal lattice. The spin-orbit coupling coefficient has to be decreased by ~ 20 % from its free ion value of - 103 cm -1 which indicates some amount of overlap between the 3 d -Fe 2+ and 8 - and p -O 2- charge clouds. The agreement of the theoretical values with the experiment is good within the limitations of the approximations involved.

AbstractThe temperature dependences of the Raman-active frequencies $$E_{g}^{2}$$ , $$A_{{1g}}^{2}$$ in layered Bi_2Se_3 single crystals are studied. The contribution of the thermal expansion to a temperature variation in the frequencies is determined. The decay of the anisotropy of the elastic properties in layered Bi_2Se_3 single crystals due to strong spin–orbit coupling is shown. The Gruneisen-mode parameters for phonons $$E_{g}^{2}$$ and $$A_{{1g}}^{2}$$ are calculated. Systematic features in the dependences of vibrational frequencies on the atomic masses in layered Bi_2Te_3, Bi_2Se_3, and Sb_2Te_3 single crystals are determined.

The protected electron states at the boundaries or on the surfaces of topological insulators (TIs) have been the subject of intense theoretical and experimental investigations. Such states are enforced by very strong spin–orbit interaction in solids composed of heavy elements. Here, we study the composite particles—chiral excitons—formed by the Coulomb attraction between electrons and holes residing on the surface of an archetypical 3D TI,Bi2Se3. Photoluminescence (PL) emission arising due to recombination of excitons in conventional semiconductors is usually unpolarized because of scattering by phonons and other degrees of freedom during exciton thermalization. On the contrary, we observe almost perfectly polarization-preserving PL emission from chiral excitons. We demonstrate that the chiral excitons can be optically oriented with circularly polarized light in a broad range of excitation energies, even when the latter deviate from the (apparent) optical band gap by hundreds of millielectronvolts, and that the orientation remains preserved even at room temperature. Based on the dependences of the PL spectra on the energy and polarization of incident photons, we propose that chiral excitons are made from massive holes and massless (Dirac) electrons, both with chiral spin textures enforced by strong spin–orbit coupling. A theoretical model based on this proposal describes quantitatively the experimental observations. The optical orientation of composite particles, the chiral excitons, emerges as a general result of strong spin–orbit coupling in a 2D electron system. Our findings can potentially expand applications of TIs in photonics and optoelectronics.

AbstractDzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) is considered as one of the most important energies for specific chiral textures such as magnetic skyrmions. The keys of generating DMI are the absence of structural inversion symmetry and exchange energy with spin–orbit coupling. Therefore, a vast majority of research activities about DMI are mainly limited to heavy metal/ferromagnet bilayer systems, only focusing on their interfaces. Here, we report an asymmetric band formation in a superlattices (SL) which arises from inversion symmetry breaking in stacking order of atomic layers, implying the role of bulk-like contribution. Such bulk DMI is more than 300% larger than simple sum of interfacial contribution. Moreover, the asymmetric band is largely affected by strong spin–orbit coupling, showing crucial role of a heavy metal even in the non-interfacial origin of DMI. Our work provides more degrees of freedom to design chiral magnets for spintronics applications.
