英文摘要 | The electronic orders in kagome materials have emerged as a fertile platform for studying exotic quantum states, and their intertwining with the unique kagome lattice geometry remains elusive. While various unconventional charge orders with broken symmetry is observed, the influence of kagome symmetry on magnetic order has so far not been directly observed. Here, using a high-resolution magnetic force microscopy, it is, for the first time, observed a new lattice form of noncollinear spin textures in the kagome ferromagnet in zero magnetic field. Under the influence of the sixfold rotational symmetry of the kagome lattice, the spin textures are hexagonal in shape and can further form a honeycomb lattice structure. Subsequent thermal cycling measurements reveal that these spin textures transform into a non-uniform in-plane ferromagnetic ground state at low temperatures and can fully rebuild at elevated temperatures, showing a strong second-order phase transition feature. Moreover, some out-of-plane magnetic moments persist at low temperatures, supporting the Kane-Mele scenario in explaining the emergence of the Dirac gap. The observations establish that the electronic properties, including both charge and spin orders, are strongly coupled with the kagome lattices. Using ultra-high-resolution magnetic force microscopy, a novel type of periodic and regular hexagonal spin texture is revealed in the frustrated kagome Fe3Sn2 magnet. The results suggest that the kagome lattice can strongly modulate the magnetic order over a much larger scale and with more regular symmetries than previously thought. image |
