Doping-control of excitons and magnetism in few-layer CrSBr

YRLG Workshop: Correlation and Topology in magnetic materials, July 16th - 18th 2024

Farsane Tabataba-Vakili

In two-dimensional (2D) magnets, phenomena distinct from bulk magnetism have been revealed, such as sensitivity to charge doping and electric field in few-layer CrI 3 [1]. Within the class of 2D magnets, air-stable CrSBr stands out as an antiferromagnetic semiconductor with a high NĂ©el temperature, excitons coupled to the magnetic order [2], and exciton-magnon coupling [3]. In this talk, I will present our work

on doping-control of excitons and magnetism in few-layer CrSBr [4]. We demonstrate that both exciton and magnetic transitions are sensitive to field-effect charging, exhibiting bound exciton-charge complexes and doping-induced metamagnetic transitions. We further visualize magnetic domain formation induced by magnetic field or charge-doping at the metamagnetic transition all-optically by raster-scan reflectance imaging. Our work identifies few-layer CrSBr as a rich platform for exploring collaborative effects of charge, optical excitations, and magnetism.
