Magnetic properties in ultra-thin 3d transition metal alloys II: experimental verification of quantitative theories of damping and spin-

A systematic study of the Gilbert damping is performed via ferromagnetic resonance for the disordered crystalline binary 3d transition metal alloys NiCo, NiFe and CoFe over the whole range of alloy compositions. After accounting for the inhomogeneous

Magnetic properties of ultra-thin 3d transition metal alloys I: spin and orbital moments and confirmation of Slater-Pauling theory

Martin A. Schoen, Juriaan Lucassen, Hans T. Nembach, Thomas J. Silva, Bert Koopmans, Christian Back, Justin M. Shaw
The structure and static magnetic properties - saturation magnetization, perpendicular anisotropy, Landé g-factor, and orbital magnetization - of thin film 3d transition metal alloys are determined over the full range of alloy compositions, via X-ray

Determination of spin Hall effect and spin diffusion length of Pt from self-consistent fitting of damping enhancement and inverse spin-orbit torque measurements

Understanding the evolution of spin-orbit torque (SOT) with increasing heavy-metal thickness in ferromagnet/normal metal (FM/NM) bilayers is critical for the development of magnetic memory based on SOT. However, several experiments have revealed an

Magnetic damping in sputtered Co2MnGe Heusler compounds with A2, B2 and L21 order: Experiment and Theory

We show that very low values of the magnetic damping parameter can be achieved in sputter deposited poly-crystalline films of Co2MnGe annealed at relatively low temperatures ranging from 240 oC to 400 oC. Damping values as low as 0.0014 are achieved with

Inductive detection of fieldlike and dampinglike ac inverse spin-orbit torques in ferromagnet/normal-metal bilayers

Phenomena that result from strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) at ferromagnet/normal metal (FM/NM) interfaces hold great promise for the development of efficient and scalable spintronic devices. SOC drives non-equilibrium spin-charge conversion, manifest as

Observation of spin-orbit effects with spin rotation symmetry

Alisha Humphries, Tao Wang, Eric R. Edwards, Shane Allen, Justin Shaw, Hans Nembach, John Xiao, Thomas J. Silva
The spin-orbit interaction in a nonmagnetic/magnetic multilayer has been intensively studied due to its efficient conversion between a spin current and a charge current. In the spin Hall/Rashba-Edelstein effects (SHE/REE) and inverse spin Hall/Rashba

Stoner vs. Heisenberg: Ultrafast exchange reduction and magnon generation during laser-induced demagnetization

December 28, 2016

Thomas J. Silva, Hans T. Nembach, Justin M. Shaw, Emrah Turgut, Dmitriy Zusin, Dominik Legut, Karel Carva, Ronny Knut, Cong Chen, Zhensheng Tao, Stefan Mathias, Martin Aeschlimann, Peter Oppeneer, Henry Kapteyn, Margaret Murnane, Patrik Grychtol
Understanding how the electronic band structure of a ferromagnetic material is modified during laser-induced demagnetization on femtosecond timescales has been a long-standing question in condensed matter physics. Here, we use ultrafast high harmonics to

Anomalously low magnetic damping of a metallic ferromagnet

The phenomenology of magnetic damping is of critical importance to devices which seek to exploit the electronic spin degree of freedom since damping strongly affects the energy required and speed at which a device can operate. However, theory has struggled
