Abstract

We report the relation between current induced effective fields and ferromagnetic layer thickness. Hall measurements with rotating magnetic field show that the transverse and perpendicular effective fields have linear relations to the inverse of the magnetic moment m per area S. The results imply that both of these effective fields may originate from spin angular momentum transferring. However, the non-zero intercept of the transverse field at m/S = 0 implies that magnetization independent effects, such as Rashba effect, may contribute to transverse field.

Anomalous low-temperature magnetoresistance dips in sputtered ferromagnetic thin films and multilayers

Journal Article Allia, Paolo; Celegato, Federica; Coiesson, Marco; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

A set of ferromagnetic thin films and multilayers containing 3d metals (Fe, Co) in different amounts was prepared by rf sputtering. Each sample exhibits a specific magnetic and magnetoresistive behavior, as expected for materials having different saturation magnetizations, magnetic anisotropies, and surface-to-volume ratios. From room temperature down to about 10 K, the magnetoresistance is explained in terms of well-known mechanisms; at low fields, a negative magnetoresistance is measured. Between {approx}10 and 30 K, the zero-field electrical resistance appears to be dominated by electron-phonon scattering. At lower temperatures, where the R vs T curve is almost saturated, a sudden drop ofmore »« less

Spin-orbit torque from a ferromagnetic metal

Journal Article Wu, Hao; Razavi, Seyed; Shao, Qiming; ... - Physical Review B

The switching of magnetization by current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) has potential applications for energy-efficient spintronic devices. In the past, most conventional works have been focused on SOT in heavy metals. Here the SOT from a ferromagnetic metal is investigated, and two mechanisms of the field-free SOT induced magnetization switching are demonstrated to be from the interlayer exchange coupling and the tilted perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We exclude the spin torque contribution from the anomalous Hall effect and the interfacial Rashba effect combined with spin precession. A spin Hall angle θ_SH = –0.022 of CoFeB is obtained by the current-induced hysteresis loopmore »« less

Magnetic field induced softening of spin waves and hard-axis order in the Kondo-lattice ferromagnet ${CeAgSb}_{2}$

Journal Article Nikitin, S.; Podlesnyak, A.; Xu, J.; ... - Physical Review B

A significant number of Kondo-lattice ferromagnets order perpendicular to the easy magnetization axis dictated by the crystalline electric field. The nature of this phenomenon has attracted considerable attention, but remains poorly understood. In the present paper we use inelastic neutron scattering supported by magnetization and specific heat measurements to study the spin dynamics in the hard-axis ferromagnet CeAgSb₂. In the zero-field state we observed two sharp magnon modes, which are associated with Ce ordering and extended up to ≈ 3 meV with a considerable spin gap of 0.6 meV. Application of a magnetic field perpendicular to the moment direction reducesmore »« less

Spin orbit torque in ferromagnet/topological-quantum-material heterostructures

Technical Report Xiao, John

The main objective of this proposal was to investigate the spin-orbital driven phenomena in topological insulator (TI)/ferromagnet (FM) or transition metal (TM) heterostructures. In particularly, we tried to utilize the spin-momentum locking properties on the surface of TIs to achieve ideal spin-orbit torques (SOTs). In practice, we found that the surface properties have been greatly modified, resulting in much more complicated magneto-transport behaviors than what is expected in SOT-driven magnetotransport. Through systematic and extended investigations, we start to unravel that the nonlinear magnetotransport properties, which was, in the past, mainly attributed to SOT-driven phenomena, can be used to infer themore »« less

Terahertz inverse spin Hall effect in spintronic nanostructures with various ferromagnetic materials

Journal Article Cheng, Jing; Komissarov, Ivan; Chen, Genyu; ... - Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials

Bilayers of ferromagnetic and heavy metal nanolayers excited with femtosecond laser pulses emit subpicosecond bursts of electromagnetic radiation with spectral frequencies up to several THz. We fabricated such spintronic THz emitters containing various ferromagnetic materials with vastly different magnetic remanence, saturation magnetization, and coercive fields. In all cases, the THz amplitude versus magnetic-field dependence follows the independently measured magnetization hysteresis loops and the THz polarization direction is perpendicular to the sample’s magnetization M, both consistent with the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) as the physical origin. The mV-level signals of observed THz transient also favor the ISHE over the anomalousmore »« less
