Control of emergent inductance in the helimagnet YMn<sub>6</sub>Sn<sub>6</sub> by Tb substitution

ORAL

Abstract

Ac-current-driven motions of spiral spin textures can give rise to emergent electric fields and provide functionality as an inductor (emergent inductor) [1-2]. YMn6Sn6 is a helimagnet that shows the emergent inductance even above room temperature.[3] To identify the optimized material conditions for the phenomenon, we have investigated the effect of partial substitution of Tb for Y on the emergent inductance. Small-angle neutron scattering and inductance measurements have revealed that the pinning effect induced by Tb doping selectively and largely suppresses a negative component of the emergent inductance. We also find that in addition to the spin helix, the collinear antiferromagnetic structure can host positive emergent inductance due to spin fluctuations.
