摘要:

我们研究了非共线磁性双层膜中的光激发太赫兹自旋驻波。使用飞秒激光脉冲激励,在第一铁磁(FM)层中产生自旋电流,并且该自旋电流流过导电间隔层以被注入到第二(横向)FM层中,在第二(横向)FM层中,该自旋电流对磁化施加自旋转移力矩并且激励高阶自旋驻波。我们表明,非共线磁性双层是一个方便的工具,可以很容易地激发太赫兹自旋波,并可用于调查的色散,从而在薄膜制度的自旋波刚度参数。这是实验证明使用楔形的Co和CoB(吸收)层。此外,这些太赫兹自旋波的阻尼进行了研究,表现出强烈的阻尼增加,减少吸收层的厚度,比预期的界面自旋泵效应强得多。此外,观察到一个以前看不见的突然下降的阻尼最薄的薄膜。提出了一个模型,将这两个观测的额外阻尼的贡献。

英文摘要:

We investigate optically excited THz standing spin waves in noncollinear magnetic bilayers. Using femtosecond laser-pulse excitation, a spin current is generated in the first ferromagnetic (FM) layer, and flows through a conductive spacer layer to be injected into the second (transverse) FM layer, where it exerts a spin-transfer torque on the magnetization and excites higher-order standing spin waves. We show that the noncollinear magnetic bilayer is a convenient tool that allows easy excitation of THz spin waves, and can be used to investigate the dispersion and thereby the spin wave stiffness parameter in the thin-film regime. This is experimentally demonstrated using wedge-shaped Co and CoB (absorption) layers. Furthermore, the damping of these THz spin waves is investigated, showing a strong increase of the damping with decreasing absorption layer thickness, much stronger than expected from interface spin pumping effects. Additionally, a previously unseen sudden decrease in the damping for the thinnest films is observed. A model for the additional damping contribution incorporating both these observations is proposed.
