Temperature evolution of electromotive force from Pt on yttrium-iron-garnet under ferromagnetic resonance

Temperature evolution of electromotive force from Pt due to the inverse spin Hall effect is studied. Pure spin current is injected from yttrium-iron-garnet by using spin pumping technique. The electromotive force from the Pt monotonically decreases with decreasing temperature, and it is showed that there is a deviation between the measured and the calculated electromotive forces.

Ferromagnetic Resonance Modes in the Exchange-Dominated Limit in Cylinders of Finite Length

We analyze the magnetic mode structure of axially magnetized finite-length nanoscopic cylinders in a regime where the exchange interaction dominates, along with simulations of the mode frequencies of the ferrimagnet yttrium iron garnet. For the bulk modes, we find that the frequencies can be represented by an expression given by Herring and Kittel by using wavevector components obtained by fitting the mode patterns emerging from these simulations. In addition to the axial, radial, and azimuthal modes that are present in an infinite cylinder, we find localized “cap modes” that are “trapped” at the top and bottom cylinder faces by the inhomogeneous dipole field emerging from the ends. Semiquantitative explanations are given for some of the modes, in terms of a one-dimensional Schrodinger equation, which is valid in the exchange-dominant case. The assignment of the azimuthal-mode number is carefully discussed, and the frequency splitting of a few pairs of nearly degenerate modes is determined through the beat pattern emerging from them.

Element- and Time-Resolved Measurements of Spin Dynamics Using X-ray Detected Ferromagnetic Resonance

Although XFMR experiments have been carried out at a number of synchrotron radiation facilities since 2004, only a few facilities currently have XFMR setups available for user operation. Here in this review, we mainly focus on recent developments and work that has been carried out using time-resolved XFMR at beamline 4.0.2 of the Advanced Light Source and at beamline I10 of the Diamond Light Source. The experimental setup and the sample holder used at beamline I10 and beamline 4.0.2, respectively, are shown in Figure 1. We will first introduce the working principle of XFMR and then provide examples of the capabilities of this technique. Finally, we will briefly describe an outlook for the future development of and new opportunities for XFMR.

Spin and Charge Interconversion in Dirac-Semimetal Thin Films

We use spin torque ferromagnetic resonance and ferromagnetic-resonance-driven spin pumping to detect spin-charge interconversion at room temperature in heterostructure devices that interface an archetypal Dirac semimetal, Cd 3 As 2 , with a metallic ferromagnet, Ni 0.80 Fe 0.20 (permalloy). Angle-resolved photoemission directly reveals the Dirac-semimetal nature of the samples prior to device fabrication and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy is used to characterize the crystalline structure and the relevant heterointerfaces. We find that the spin-charge interconversion efficiency in Cd 3 As 2 /permalloy heterostructures is comparable to that in heavy metals and that it is enhanced by the presence of an interfacial oxide. Spin torque ferromagnetic resonance measurements reveal an in-plane spin polarization regardless of an oxidized or pristine interface. We discuss the underlying mechanisms for spin-charge interconversion by comparing our results with first principles calculations and conclude that extrinsic mechanisms dominate the observed phenomena. Our results indicate a need for caution in interpretations of spin-transport and spin-charge conversion experiments in Cd 3 As 2 devices that seek to invoke the role of topological Dirac and Fermi arc states.

Attenuation of Spin Precession in Manganite/Normal Metal Heterostructures

Abstract—Temperature dependence of attenuation of magnetic spin precession in two-layer structures with a Pt top layer based on a La{sub 0.7}Sr{sub 0.3}MnO{sub 3} (LSMO) epitaxial manganite film is studied by measuring the width of a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) line. Ferromagnetic resonance in thin ferromagnetic manganite films is used for the creation of a spin current at the interface between the metallic and ferromagnetic layers. A significant increase in a width of a line in FMR spectrum in two-layer structures due to generation of a spin current, heterogeneity of a ferromagnetic layer, two-magnon scattering, and eddy current is discussed.

Acoustic spin pumping in magnetoelectric bulk acoustic wave resonator

We present the generation and detection of spin currents by using magnetoelastic resonance excitation in a magnetoelectric composite high overtone bulk acoustic wave (BAW) resonator (HBAR) formed by a Al-ZnO-Al-GGG-YIG-Pt structure. Transversal BAW drives magnetization oscillations in YIG film at a given resonant magnetic field, and the resonant magneto-elastic coupling establishes the spin-current generation at the Pt/YIG interface. Due to the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) this BAW-driven spin current is converted to a dc voltage in the Pt layer. The dependence of the measured voltage both on magnetic field and frequency has a resonant character. The voltage is determined by the acoustic power in HBAR and changes its sign upon magnetic field reversal. We compare the experimentally observed amplitudes of the ISHE electrical field achieved by our method and other approaches to spin current generation that use surface acoustic waves and microwave resonators for ferromagnetic resonance excitation, with the theoretically expected values.

Magnetic resonance in bilayers of ferrite and functionally graded piezoelectric

Highlights: • Ferromagnetic resonance in a ferrite-piezoelectric laminate is studied. • An electric field induced FMR line broadening results from bending the sample. • Ferrite layer between the two piezoelectric layers shows a large line broadening. - Abstract: The particular purpose of this paper is theoretical modeling of magnetoelectric interactions at the ferromagnetic resonance in a layered structure of a ferrite and a piezoelectric with through-thickness graded polarization. We show that using the functionally graded piezoelectric with through-thickness variation of polarization can lead to an electric field induced broadening of ferromagnetic resonance line. As an example, we consider the laminate based on the yttrium iron garnet layer which is placed between two lead zirconate titanate layers with different poling direction. The maximal ferromagnetic resonance line broadening of 9.3 Oe is obtained for the yttrium iron garnet to lead zirconate titanate layer thickness ratio of 1.7 at 9.3 GHz for E equal to 10 kV/cm.

Annealing effects on the microwave linewidth broadening of FeCuNbSiB ferromagnetic films

We systematically investigate the annealing effects on the microwave linewidth broadening of FeCuNbSiB ferromagnetic films with thickness of 100 nm. We correlate the non-uniform residual stress obtained from grazing incidence x-ray diffraction measurements with the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) linewidth due to effective field inhomogeneities measured from broadband ferromagnetic resonance absorption measurements. We also estimate the annealing temperature effect on the Gilbert and two-magnon scattering contributions to the total ferromagnetic resonance FMR linewidth. We show that the effective field inhomogeneities constitute the main contribution to the microwave linewidth, while this contribution is related to the non-uniform residual stress in the films which is reduced by thermal annealing.

Microwave and millimeter wave dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability of epsilon-gallium-iron-oxide nano-powders

In millimeter wave frequency range, hexagonal ferrites with high uniaxial anisotropic magnetic fields are used as absorbers. These ferrites include M-type barium ferrite (BaFe{sub 12}O{sub 19}) and strontium ferrite (SrFe{sub 12}O{sub 19}), which have natural ferromagnetic resonant frequency range from 40 GHz to 60 GHz. However, the higher frequency range lacks suitable materials that support the higher frequency ferromagnetic resonance. A series of gallium-substituted ε-iron oxides (ε-Ga{sub x}Fe{sub 2−x}O{sub 3}) are synthesized, which have ferromagnetic resonant frequencies appearing over the frequency range of 30 GHz to 150 GHz. The ε-Ga{sub x}Fe{sub 2−x}O{sub 3} is synthesized by the sol-gel method. The particle sizes are observed to be smaller than 100 nm. In this paper, in-waveguide transmission and reflection method and the free space magneto-optical approach have been employed to study these newly developed ε-Ga{sub x}Fe{sub 2−x}O{sub 3} particles in millimeter waves. These techniques enable to obtain precise transmission spectra to determine the dielectric and magnetic properties of both isotropic and anisotropic ferrites in the microwave and millimeter wave frequency range from single set of direct measurements. The complex dielectric permittivity and magnetic permeability spectra of ε-Ga{sub x}Fe{sub 2−x}O{sub 3} are shown in this paper. Strong ferromagnetic resonances at different frequencies determined by the x parameter are found.

Influence of the Magnetic Moment of the Probe of a Magnetic Resonance Force Microscope on the Spin-Wave Resonance Spectra

Abstract—The ferromagnetic resonance in an array of permalloy microstrips 3000 × 500 × 30 nm{sup 3} in size, which are ordered on a rectangular 3.5 × 6 μm{sup 2} lattice, is studied using magnetic resonance force microscopy with strong probe–sample interaction. This interaction induces intricate modifications of the observed spectra, which are manifested both in line splitting and in changes in shape. The dependences of the observed spectra on the sample–probe distance and the orientation of the magnetic moment of the probe are analyzed.
