研究目的
Investigating the spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effect in yttrium iron garnet/germanium heterojunctions for the development of Ge-based spintronic and magnonic devices.
研究成果
The study demonstrates efficient spin current injection from YIG into Ge and GeSn, with enhanced efficiency due to Sn doping. Laser irradiation modulates ISHE voltage and magnetic properties, indicating potential for Ge-based spintronic devices. Future work could explore doped Ge for higher conductivity and spin diffusion lengths.
研究不足
The study is limited by the interfacial strain-induced magnetic inhomogeneity due to lattice mismatch between Ge and YIG, and the relatively low carrier density and high resistivity of undoped Ge affecting ISHE measurements.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed ultra-high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy for growing Ge and GeSn on YIG thin films. Broadband ferromagnetic resonance was used to investigate spin pumping and ISHE.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included YIG/Ge and YIG/GeSn heterojunctions. Data were acquired using XRD, HRTEM, EDX, AFM, and FMR.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included MBE for film growth, XRD and HRTEM for crystallinity determination, AFM for surface roughness, and FMR for spin dynamics. Materials were YIG, Ge, GeSn, and Pt.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Ge and GeSn were grown on YIG, followed by characterization of their structural and magnetic properties. ISHE was measured with Pt as a spin current collector under laser irradiation.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed to determine spin mixing conductance, Gilbert damping parameter, and ISHE voltage changes under laser irradiation.
