光学自旋轨道力矩驱动的太赫兹自旋动力学

Terahertz spin dynamics driven by an optical spin-orbit torque

Ritwik Mondal, Andreas Donges, Ulrich Nowak

摘要:

自旋力矩是自旋电子器件中自旋操纵的核心。在这里,我们研究的存在下的光学自旋-轨道力矩,相对论自旋力矩起源于一个振荡的应用领域与自旋的自旋-轨道耦合。我们比较了圆偏振激光脉冲激发的铁磁系统的非相对论塞曼力矩与相对论光学自旋轨道力矩的影响。后者的扭矩取决于光的螺旋度,并与强度成比例,而与频率成反比。我们的结果表明,光学自旋轨道力矩可以提供一个扭矩的自旋,这是定量等效的塞曼扭矩。此外,温度相关的计算表明,光学自旋轨道力矩的影响随温度的升高而降低。然而,在铁磁系统中,即使在居里温度以上,这种效应也不会消失。

英文摘要:

Spin torques are at the heart of spin manipulations in spintronic devices. Here, we examine the existence of an optical spin-orbit torque, a relativistic spin torque originating from the spin-orbit coupling of an oscillating applied field with the spins. We compare the effect of the nonrelativistic Zeeman torque with the relativistic optical spin-orbit torque for ferromagnetic systems excited by a circularly polarised laser pulse. The latter torque depends on the helicity of the light and scales with the intensity, while being inversely proportional to the frequency. Our results show that the optical spin-orbit torque can provide a torque on the spins, which is quantitatively equivalent to the Zeeman torque. Moreover, temperature dependent calculations show that the effect of optical spin-orbit torque decreases with increasing temperature. However, the effect does not vanish in a ferromagnetic system, even above its Curie temperature.
