摘要:

最近在具有强自旋轨道相互作用的非磁性重金属体系中观察到了强自旋霍尔效应(SHE)。这些SHE要么归因于固有的带结构效应,要么归因于杂质的非本征自旋相关散射,即侧跳或斜散射。在这里,我们报告了一个非常强大的自旋霍尔效应,归因于自旋波动,在铁磁FexPt 1-x合金的居里点附近,可调x。这导致在相邻铁磁层上施加类似阻尼的自旋-轨道扭矩,该扭矩在该过渡区域中强烈地依赖于温度,具有指示FePt内的峰值自旋霍尔比的下限0.34(±)0.02的峰值。我们还观察到一个明显的峰值在FM/FePt界面的有效自旋混合电导,并确定在这些FexPt 1-x合金的自旋扩散长度。这些结果为强自旋涨落铁磁系统的自旋动力学和输运的基础研究提供了新的机会,并为有效产生强自旋电流的应用提供了新的途径。

英文摘要:

Robust spin Hall effects (SHE) have recently been observed in non-magnetic heavy metal systems with strong spin-orbit interactions. These SHE are either attributed to an intrinsic band-structure effect or to extrinsic spin-dependent scattering from impurities, namely side-jump or skew scattering. Here we report on an extraordinarily strong spin Hall effect, attributable to spin fluctuations, in ferromagnetic FexPt1-x alloys near their Curie point, tunable with x. This results in a damping-like spin-orbit torque being exerted on an adjacent ferromagnetic layer that is strongly temperature dependent in this transition region, with a peak value that indicates a lower bound 0.34 (+-) 0.02 for the peak spin Hall ratio within the FePt. We also observe a pronounced peak in the effective spin-mixing conductance of the FM/FePt interface, and determine the spin diffusion length in these FexPt1-x alloys. These results establish new opportunities for fundamental studies of spin dynamics and transport in ferromagnetic systems with strong spin fluctuations, and a new pathway for efficiently generating strong spin currents for applications.
