摘要:

光致自旋电流已被证明是有用的自旋电子学应用,允许亚ps的磁化全光控制。然而,对产生这种现象的机制仍有很大的争议。本文利用非共线双层结构中自旋电流诱导太赫兹自旋波的激发,直接研究了时域中的光学自旋电流。我们测量了自旋波相位对激光注量的显着依赖性,假设自旋电流与磁化强度的时间导数成正比,这可以定量解释。理论计算和微磁模拟支持的绝对自旋波相位的测量表明,一个简单的弹道输运图片是足够的,以正确地解释自旋输运在我们的实验和阻尼类光学STT占主导地位的太赫兹自旋波的产生。我们的研究结果表明,激光诱导的退磁和自旋电流产生共享相同的微观起源。

英文摘要:

Optically induced spin currents have proven to be useful in spintronics applications, allowing for sub-ps all-optical control of magnetization. However, the mechanism responsible for their generation is still heavily debated. Here we use the excitation of spin-current induced THz spin-waves in noncollinear bilayer structures to directly study optical spin-currents in the time domain. We measure a significant laser-fluence dependence of the spin-wave phase, which can quantitatively be explained assuming the spin current is proportional to the time derivative of the magnetization. Measurements of the absolute spin-wave phase, supported by theoretical calculations and micromagnetic simulations, suggest that a simple ballistic transport picture is sufficient to properly explain spin transport in our experiments and that the damping-like optical STT dominates THz spin-wave generation. Our findings suggest laser-induced demagnetization and spin-current generation share the same microscopic origin.
