磁化翻转中导电电子的自旋轨道耦合

Spin-Orbit Coupling of Conduction Electrons in Magnetization Switching

Ioan Tudosa

摘要:

强磁场脉冲与相对论电子束团可以在具有单轴面内各向异性的磁性薄膜中压印开关图案。在Fe和FeCo合金膜的实验中,图案形状揭示了在短(在100 fs时间尺度内)磁场脉冲期间作用于磁化的附加扭矩。扭矩的大小高达来自磁场的扭矩的15%。转矩对称性是沿着屏蔽磁场的涡流方向的单轴各向异性的转矩对称性。作用在传导电子上的自旋-轨道相互作用可以产生具有所需对称性和大小的这样的扭矩。相同的相互作用导致反常霍尔电流被自旋极化,对磁化方向施加反作用。这种机制可能在磁性材料的全光激光开关中起作用。

英文摘要:

Strong magnetic field pulses associated with a relativistic electron bunch can imprint switching patterns in magnetic thin films that have uniaxial in-plane anisotropy. In experiments with Fe and FeCo alloy films the pattern shape reveals an additional torque acting on magnetization during the short (in the 100fs time scale) magnetic field pulse. The magnitude of the torque is as high as 15% of the torque from the magnetic field. The torque symmetry is that of a uniaxial anisotropy along the direction of the eddy current screening the magnetic field. Spin-orbit interaction acting on the conduction electrons can produce such a torque with the required symmetry and magnitude. The same interaction causes the anomalous Hall current to be spin-polarized, exerting a back reaction on magnetization direction. Such a mechanism may be at work in all-optical laser switching of magnetic materials.
