Abstract
- In helimagnetic metals, ac current-driven spin motions can generate emergent electric fields acting on conduction electrons, leading to emergent electromagnetic induction (EEMI). Recent experiments reveal the EEMI signal generally shows a strongly current-nonlinear response. In this study, we investigate the EEMI of Tb<subscript>5</subscript>Sb<subscript>3</subscript>, a short-period helimagnet. Using small angle neutron scattering we show that Tb<subscript>5</subscript>Sb<subscript>3</subscript> hosts highly disordered helimagnetism with a distribution of spin-helix periodicity. The current-nonlinear dynamics of the disordered spin helix in Tb<subscript>5</subscript>Sb<subscript>3</subscript> indeed shows up as the nonlinear electrical resistivity (real part of ac resistivity), and even more clearly as a nonlinear and huge EEMI (imaginary part of ac resistivity) response. The magnitude of the EEMI reaches as large as several tens of μH for Tb5Sb3 devices on the scale of several tens of μm, originating to noncollinear spin textures possibly even without long-range helimagnetic order. Ac current-driven spin motions in helimagnetic metals can generate emergent electric fields acting on conduction electrons, leading to emergent electromagnetic induction (EEMI). In this study, we revealed that a short-period helimagnet Tb<subscript>5</subscript>Sb<subscript>3</subscript> may have disordered spin helix structure and provides large EEMI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
