摘要:

铁磁金属薄膜的工程吉尔伯特阻尼对于开发和设计超高速自旋电子器件具有重要意义。基于Gilbert阻尼的散射理论,我们将原来用于研究磁晶各向异性的力矩法推广到理论上确定铁磁金属的Gilbert阻尼。利用该方法研究了典型的拓扑绝缘体Bi2Se3接触的3D过渡金属铁磁体、钴和镍单层膜的吉尔伯特阻尼。令人惊讶的是,我们发现,他们的吉尔伯特阻尼强烈增强约一个数量级,与阻尼的散装和独立的单层相比,由于强自旋轨道耦合的Bi2Se3。我们的工作提供了一个有吸引力的路线,剪裁吉尔伯特阻尼铁磁金属薄膜,把它们与拓扑绝缘体。

英文摘要:

Engineering Gilbert damping of ferromagnetic metal films is of great importance to exploit and design spintronic devices that are operated with an ultrahigh speed. Based on scattering theory of Gilbert damping, we extend the torque method originally used in studies of magnetocrystalline anisotropy to theoretically determine Gilbert dampings of ferromagnetic metals. This method is utilized to investigate Gilbert dampings of 3d transition metal ferromagnet iron, cobalt and nickel monolayers that are contacted by the prototypical topological insulator Bi2Se3. Amazingly, we find that their Gilbert dampings are strongly enhanced by about one order in magnitude, compared with dampings of their bulks and free-standing monolayers, owing to the strong spin-orbit coupling of Bi2Se3. Our work provides an attractive route to tailoring Gilbert damping of ferromagnetic metallic films by putting them in contact with topological insulators.
