摘要:

具有垂直磁各向异性(PMA)的超薄 3d-4f 合成亚铁磁体展现出一系列引人关注的磁现象,包括磁化全光开关(AOS)、快速电流诱导畴壁运动(CIDWM),以及充当轨道角动量至自旋角动量转换器的潜力。对于涉及这些材料的自旋电子学应用而言,居里温度不仅是决定 AOS 阈值能量的关键因素,也决定材料在 CIDWM 过程中对温升的抗性。然而,居里温度、各独立层厚度以及生长过程具体细节之间的关系仍是一个悬而未决的问题。在本工作中,我们深入研究了一种具有 PMA 的典型合成亚铁磁体——通过直流磁控溅射生长、并采用 MOKE 和 SQUID 表征的 Pt/Co/Gd 三层膜——的居里温度。我们通过对沉积过程及 Co/Gd 界面处感生磁化进行建模,对为解决这些突出问题而设计的实验给出了解释。研究结果表明,这些超薄 3d-4f 合成亚铁磁体的居里温度,以及进一步而言 PMA 和磁补偿的条件,不仅受到可受溅射过程影响的界面质量的影响,还在很大程度上受到 4f 材料中有限尺寸效应的影响。本工作为预测和调控用于自旋电子学应用及磁光子集成的 3d-4f 合成亚铁磁体的临界温度与静磁性质提供了新方法和新认识。

英文摘要:

Ultrathin 3d-4f synthetic ferrimagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) exhibit a range of intriguing magnetic phenomena, including all-optical switching of magnetization (AOS), fast current-induced domain wall motion (CIDWM), and the potential to act as orbital-to-spin angular momentum converters. For spintronic applications involving these materials, the Curie temperature is a crucial factor in determining not only the threshold energy for AOS, but also the material's resistance to temperature rise during CIDWM. However, the relationship between the Curie temperature, the thicknesses of the individual layers, and the specifics of the growth process remains an open question. In this work, we thoroughly investigate the Curie temperature of one of the archetype synthetic ferrimagnets with PMA, the Pt/Co/Gd trilayer, grown by DC magnetron sputtering and characterized with MOKE and SQUID. We provide an interpretation of the experiments we designed to address these outstanding questions through modeling of the deposition process and the induced magnetization at the Co/Gd interface. Our findings demonstrate that the Curie temperature and, by extension, the conditions for PMA and magnetic compensation, of these ultrathin 3d-4f synthetic ferrimagnets are not only impacted by the interface quality, which can be influenced by the sputtering process, but also to a significant extent by finite-size effects in the 4f-material. This work offers new methods and understanding to predict and manipulate the critical temperature and magnetostatic properties of 3d-4f synthetic ferrimagnets for spintronic applications and magneto-photonic integration.
