Magnetic ordering influenced by spin-orbit interaction, opening the Dirac gap and reversal magnetization induced in magnetically-doped topological insulators and Rashba systems A.M. Shikin, I.I. Klimovskikh, A.A. Rybkina St.-Petersburg State University P. Skirdkov, K.A. Zvezdin, A. K. Zvezdin Prokhorov General Physics Institute, Moscow K. Kokh, O. Tereshchenko Rzhanov Institute and Novosibirsk State University M. Otrokov, E. Chulkov Tomsk and San Sebastian University The main idea – analysis of magnetic ordering in magnetically-doped 2D systems with helical spin structure (topological insulators and Rashba systems) and to attempt to analyze a role of coupling between exchange and spin-orbit interactions in forming the magnetic ordering (It will be done by analysis of opening the gap at the Kramers (Dirac) point due the Time Reversal Symmetry breaking and the induced out-of-plane spin polarization in the region of the gap with using spin- and angle- resolved photoemission)

LDOS for out-of-plane polarized magnetic impurities With increasing the impurity concentration the resonance peak moves from the valence band and enters the bulk gap region and shifts toward the Dirac point where the peak-peak splitting takes place. As a result the formed Dirac points are located on both sides of the resonance peak. The splitting depends on strength of interaction between impurity and the surface states R.R.Biswas et al., PRB 81, 233405 (2010) A.M.Black-Schaffer et al., PRB 85, 121103 (2012)

Factors influencing the gap value: V(0.5%)-BiTeI • V being embedded in the Bi layer has magnetic moment of 2.88 μB. • For V-doped BiTeI the magnetic moment are also induced on Te and I atoms in the immediate vicinity of V atoms and their p-states are hybridized with d-states of v atoms. • It opens the gap up to 10 meV. 2. Other possibility – presence of point defects in vicinity of the V atoms. Bi-vacancy located nearly the V-dopants induces more magnetization at Te atoms. It leads to opening the gap up to 34 meV I.I.Klimovskikh et al., sent for publication
Experimental observations testifying to interplay between exchange and SO coupling • So, we have shown that the gap at the Dirac point in V-doped BiTeI has a magnetic nature (dependence on the V-concentration and temperature below a Curie temperature which can be confirmed by calculation for 2DEG with enhanced SO coupling in framework of the Rashba-state-mediated magnetic ordering. • Reverse induced out-of-plane spin polarization (magnetization) induced by circularly polarized SR • Spin polarization is induced both for 2DEG and local FM-impurities • At Kramers point the Rashba states have out-of-plane polarization. Far from the Kramers point the Rashba states are characterized by in-plane polarization • How SO interaction can influence on the magnetic ordering? • What kind of magnetic ordering is formed?
Collinear and non-collinear exchange interaction. Inclusion of Rashba interaction. The RKKY interaction describes a parallel or antiparallel (collinear) exchange interaction between two localized spins via spin polarization of conduction electrons However, in the systems with enhanced SO coupling a non-collinear DM coupling can be developed that is followed by precession of spin and rotation of spin of polarized conduction electrons.

Summary Magnetic doping of TIs and Rashba systems (BiTeI) characterized by enhanced SO-interaction by magnetic dopant (V) with anomalously low concentration (0.5 and 2%) leads to opening aanomalously large energy gap at the Kramers point at 15-20K due to influence of SO-interaction on magnetic coupling With growth of the diluted magnetic dopants in V-doped BiTeI from 0.5 till 2% the gap value is increasing from 90 till 125 meV. The use of circularly polarized synchrotron radiation leads to opening the gap (of about 90 meV) in V-doped TI and BITeI even at room temperature with opposite spin structure at the borders of the gap. As a result, a reversal induced out-of-plane magnetization is induced which can be switched by the direction of circular polarization. The formed spin texture can be described as magnetic dopant induced surface Skirmion-like texture in 2DEG Thank you very much for your attention
