The intrinsic magnetic topological insulator MnBi2Te4(MBT) provides a platform for the creation of exotic quantum phenomena. Novel properties can be created by modification of the MnBi2Te4framework, but the design of stable magnetic structures remains challenging. Here we report ferromagnet-intercalated MnBi2Te4superlattices with tunable magnetic exchange interactions. Using molecular beam epitaxy, we intercalate ferromagnetic MnTe layers into MnBi2Te4to create [(MBT)(MnTe)m]Nsuperlattices and examine their magnetic interaction properties using polarized neutron reflectometry and magnetoresistance measurements. Incorporation of the ferromagnetic spacer tunes the antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling of the MnBi2Te4layers through the exchange-spring effect at MnBi2Te4/MnTe hetero-interfaces. The MnTe thickness can be used to modulate the relative strengths of the ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order, and the superlattice periodicity can tailor the spin configurations of the synthesized multilayers. |
