Interface-driven Skyrmions in SrRuO3 based heterostructures — •Sven Esser1, Sebastian Esser1, Anton Jesche1, Vladimir Roddatis2, and Philipp Gegenwart1 — 1Experimentalphysik VI, Universität Augsburg, 86159 Augsburg, Germany — 2Institut für Materialphysik, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, 37077 Göttingen, Germany
Formation of Néel-type skyrmions at oxide interfaces is supported by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya (DM) interaction through introducing a break of inversion symmetry. Recently artificial perovskite bilayers of the ferromagnetic metal SrRuO3 (SRO) and spin-orbit semimetal SrIrO3 (SIO) have been proposed to host two-dimensional Néel-type skyrmions [1].
By using a metal-organic aerosol deposition technique we have grown [(SrIrO3)2/(SrRuO3)5]k bilayers with
k=1,5,10 repetitions on cubic (001)-oriented SrTiO3 substrate to investigate the interface induced
changes of the electronic and magnetic properties.
The fully epitaxially strained state of the thin films was verified by X-ray diffraction patterns in
combination with reciprocal space mapping and TEM images.
Measurement of the in-plane magnetization indicate a relation to the number of interfaces between SRO and SIO layers.
A contribution of the topological Hall effect to the Hall resistance can be observed near 80K, which may be a hint for the formation of skyrmions.
