RESUMO
Physical reservoir computing is a promising way to develop efficient artificial intelligence using physical devices exhibiting nonlinear dynamics. Although magnetic materials have advantages in miniaturization, the need for a magnetic field and large electric current results in high electric power consumption and a complex device structure. To resolve these issues, we propose a redox-based physical reservoir utilizing the planar Hall effect and anisotropic magnetoresistance, which are phenomena described by different nonlinear functions of the magnetization vector that do not need a magnetic field to be applied. The expressive power of this reservoir based on a compact all-solid-state redox transistor is higher than the previous physical reservoir. The normalized mean square error of the reservoir on a second-order nonlinear equation task was 1.69 × 10-3, which is lower than that of a memristor array (3.13 × 10-3) even though the number of reservoir nodes was fewer than half that of the memristor array.
RESUMO
The magnetic field range in which a magnetic sensor operates is an important consideration for many applications. Elliptical planar Hall effect (EPHE) sensors exhibit outstanding equivalent magnetic noise (EMN) on the order of pT/Hz, which makes them promising for many applications. Unfortunately, the current field range in which EPHE sensors with pT/Hz EMN can operate is sub-mT, which limits their potential use. Here, we fabricate EPHE sensors with an increased field range and measure their EMN. The larger field range is obtained by increasing the uniaxial shape-induced anisotropy parallel to the long axis of the ellipse. We present measurements of EPHE sensors with magnetic anisotropy which ranges between 12 Oe and 120 Oe and show that their EMN at 10 Hz changes from 800 pT/Hz to 56 nT/Hz. Furthermore, we show that the EPHE sensors behave effectively as single magnetic domains with negligible hysteresis. We discuss the potential use of EPHE sensors with extended field range and compare them with sensors that are widely used in such applications.
RESUMO
The anomalous Hall effect induced by the in-plane magnetic field (anomalous planar Hall effect) has recently attracted a lot of interests due to its numerous advantages. Although several schemes have been put forward in theory, experimental observations in many materials so far are often accompanied by planar Hall effects due to other mechanisms, rather than the pure anomalous planar Hall effect (APHE). We propose the surface state of the strained topological insulator as an ideal candidate to observe this effect. The surface state exhibits a pure APHE, characterized by a linear dependence on the magnetic field and a 2πperiodicity, which remains robust against the scattering of non-magnetic and various magnetic impurities, as long as the uniaxial strain preserves mirror symmetry. Although a general strain that breaks the mirror symmetry can induce the conventional Drude Hall effect, the anomalous contribution remains dominant. Furthermore, we present a feasible scheme to distinguish between the two contributions based on their distinct magnetic field dependencies. Our work is of great significance for promoting experimental observation of the APHE and provides reference value in the search for other realistic materials.
RESUMO
The confinement of electrons in one-dimensional (1D) space highlights the prominence of the role of electron interactions or correlations, leading to a variety of fascinating physical phenomena. The quasi-1D electron states can exhibit a unique spin texture under spin-orbit interaction (SOI) and thus could generate a robust spin current by forbidden electron backscattering. Direct detection of such 1D spin or SOI information, however, is challenging due to complicated techniques. Here, we identify an anomalous planar Hall effect (APHE) in the magnetotransport of quasi-1D van der Waals (vdW) topological materials as exemplified by Bi4Br4, which arises from the quantum interference correction of 1D weak antilocalization (WAL) to the ordinary planar Hall effect and demonstrates a deviation from the usual sine and cosine curves. The occurrence of 1D WAL is correlated to the line-shape Fermi surface and persistent spin texture of (100) topological surface states of Bi4Br4, as revealed by both our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and first-principles calculations. By generalizing the observation of APHE to other non-vdW bulk materials, this work provides a possible characteristic of magnetotransport for identifying the spin/SOI information and quantum interference behavior of 1D states in 3D topological material.
RESUMO
The conventional Hall effect is linearly proportional to the field component or magnetization component perpendicular to a film. Despite the increasing theoretical proposals on the Hall effect to the in-plane field or magnetization in various special systems induced by the Berry curvature, such an unconventional Hall effect has only been experimentally reported in Weyl semimetals and in a heterodimensional superlattice. Here, we report an unambiguous experimental observation of the antisymmetric planar Hall effect (APHE) with respect to the in-plane magnetic field in centrosymmetric rutile RuO2 and IrO2 single-crystal films. The measured Hall resistivity is found to be linearly proportional to the component of the applied in-plane magnetic field along a particular crystal axis and to be independent of the current direction or temperature. Both the experimental observations and theoretical calculations confirm that the APHE in rutile oxide films is induced by the Lorentz force. Our findings can be generalized to ferromagnetic materials for the discovery of anomalous Hall effects and quantum anomalous Hall effects induced by in-plane magnetization. In addition to significantly expanding knowledge of the Hall effect, this work opens the door to explore new members in the Hall effect family.
