1fNoise in Cr Films from Spin-Density-Wave Polarization Rotation

Abstract: Measurements were made of the temperature dependence, strain dependence, defect dependence, symmetry properties, and small-sample statistical properties of the large 1//noise in antiferromagnetic Cr films. The results are consistent with a model based on rotations of the polarization of spin-densitywave domains. Spontaneous electronic symmetry-breaking effects are proposed as a new source of \/f noise in some metals.

“…Thus the collective state is likely not to show rigid nematic order over distances much larger than the typical twinning scale of several tens of nanometers, consistent with neutron scattering results [35]. Although noise from disordered collective states is common, the onset of the low-T noise in these YBCO films is peculiar in showing simple thermally activated kinetics, rather than any sort of sharp transition or crossover [26,28,31]. Another low-frequency phenomenon in YBCO, internal friction, shows thermally activated features in this approximate temperature range [34,36], but none of the features provide an obvious match to our noise results, and the origins of the friction peaks are themselves unclear.…”

“…If the transport anisotropy comes from stripes, then any slow fluctuations in this local symmetry breaking should give rise to transport noise [25] as found in diverse other systems including antiferromagnets [26], spin glasses [27], and ferromagnets [28]. Discrete resistance steps seen in small samples of YBCO [24], and an unusual increase in normalized noise power found in larger samples [29,30] also suggest large collective fluctuators, as expected from stripes.…”

“…These results provide strong evidence that the noise of most metal films is caused by thermally-activated carrier-defect interactions that lead to fluctuations in the mobility of the carriers. Exceptions to this general agreement between experimental data and the Dutta-Horn model are noted primarily for films (e.g., Ni, Cr) in which magnetic interactions dominate over defect scattering [18], [19], [23].…”

“…In all cases shown here, and most cases in the literature [1]- [3], [13]- [23], the Dutta-Horn model describes the noise well. Exceptions are observed for ferromagnetic (e.g., Ni [23]) and anti-ferromagnetic (e.g., Cr [18], [19]). In Ni, the noise is dominated by fluctuations in the ordering of magnetic domains [23]; the noise of Cr is attributed to rotations of the polarization of spin-density wave domains [19].…”
