Low-frequency Raman spectroscopic analysis of CrSBr

초록(요약문)

Chromium Sulfur Bromide (CrSBr) is a layered van der Waals magnetic semiconductor which is an A-type antiferromagnetic (AFM) order with its magnetic easy axis aligned along the crystallographic b direction. Owing to its strong in-plane mass anisotropy and electron-hole effective mass, it has a quasi-1D characteristic. And it exhibits a relatively high Néel temperature, TN, and crystallizes in an orthorhombic structure with space group 59 (Pmmn) and point group D2h. Although its crystal structure and electromagnetic properties have been extensively studied, the low frequency Raman spectra of CrSBr has not been investigated. In this work, we therefore focuse on the low frequency Raman spectra of CrSBr. We fabricated the mono and few layer CrSbr samples on the 90nm SiO2/Si substrate by using the mechanical exfoliation method. We define the magnetic easy axis of CrSBr with the polarized Raman spectroscopy. Among the excitation wavelengths tested, 2.33 eV proved most effective for resolving both low and high frequency Raman modes. We observed the low frequency Raman signals near 10 cm-1 in both a and b axis configurations, with significantly stronger intenstiy along b direction. Temperature dependent Raman measurements reveal that these modes gradually broaden and weakened upon cooling. Also, for the high frequency Raman spectra we observed that near the TN, 𝐴𝑔 mode broadening along the b axis. These results provide new insights into the phonon and magnetic fluctuation dynamics in CrSBr as well as their excitation energy dependent revealed by low frequency Raman spectroscopy
