Giant Anisotropy of Gilbert Damping in Epitaxial CoFe Films
Abstract
Tailoring Gilbert damping of metallic ferromagnetic thin films is one of the central interests in spintronics applications. We report a giant Gilbert damping anisotropy in epitaxial $${\mathrm{Co}}_{50}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{50}$$ thin films with a maximum-minimum damping ratio of 400%, determined by broadband spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance as well as inductive ferromagnetic resonance. We conclude that the origin of this damping anisotropy is the variation of the spin orbit coupling for different magnetization orientations in the cubic lattice, which is further corroborated from the magnitude of the anisotropic magnetoresistance in $${\mathrm{Co}}_{50}{\mathrm{Fe}}_{50}$$.
