Experimental verification of the inverse Anomalous spin Hall effect with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Materials

In this work, the spin pumping technique was employed to investigate the anomalous inverse spin Hall effect in BIG/NiO/Fe samples where BIG[(Bi,Tm)3(Fe,Ga)5O12] exhibits perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. Our results reveal an intriguing phenomenon: when the magnetizations of both ferromagnetic layers align perpendicularly, a distinct spin-to-charge current conversion mechanism occurs. This conversion is intricately linked to the magnetization of the converting layer, spin polarization, and the spin current orientation.

Surface-state mediated spin-to-charge conversion in Sb films via bilateral spin current injection

The spin-to-charge conversion phenomena is investigated in a trilayer structure consisting of Co(12 nm)/Sb(t)/Py(12 nm), where the thickness t of the antimony layer is varied. Using the spin-pumping technique, a pure spin current is injected from both FM layers into the middle layer, the DC voltage is then measured. We observe a spin-to-charge mechanism in the Sb layer that exhibits striking similarities to the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE), driven by surface states.

Magnetization reversal, damping properties and magnetic anisotropy of L10-ordered FeNi thin films

L10 ordered magnetic alloys such as FePt, FePd, CoPt and FeNi are well known for their large magnetocrystalline anisotropy. Among these, L10-FeNi alloy is economically viable material for magnetic recording media because it does not contain rare earth and noble elements. In this work, L10-FeNi films with three different strengths of anisotropy were fabricated by varying the deposition process in molecular beam epitaxy system. We have investigated the magnetization reversal along with domain imaging via magneto optic Kerr effect based microscope. It is found that in all three samples, the magnetization reversal is happening via domain wall motion. Further ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy was performed to evaluate the damping constant and magnetic anisotropy. It was observed that the FeNi sample with moderate strength of anisotropy exhibits low value of damping constant ~ 4.9X10^-3. In addition to this, it was found that the films possess a mixture of cubic and uniaxial anisotropies.

Collective states of interacting ferromagnetic nanoparticles

Discontinuous magnetic multilayers [CoFe/Al2O3] are studied by use of magnetometry, susceptometry and numeric simulations. Soft ferromagnetic Co80Fe20 nanoparticles are embedded in a diamagnetic insulating a-Al2O3 matrix and can be considered as homogeneously magnetized superspins exhibiting randomness of size (viz. moment), position and anisotropy. Lacking intra-particle core-surface ordering, generic freezing processes into collective states rather than individual particle blocking are encountered. With increasing particle density one observes first superspin glass and then superferromagnetic domain state behavior. The phase diagram resembles that of a dilute disordered ferromagnet. Criteria for the identification of the individual phases are given.
