Influence of the capping layer material on the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in Pt/Co/capping layer structures probed by Brillouin light scattering<sup></sup>
摘要： Influence of the capping layer material on the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in Pt/Co/capping layer structures probed by Brillouin light scattering. Co ultrathin films, of various thicknesses (0.8 nm ≤ tCo ≤ 2.5 nm), have been grown by sputtering on Si substrates, using Pt buffer layers and different capping layers (Cu, Ir, MgO and Pt). The x-ray diffraction revealed that our films have a (111) out-of-plane texture with various degrees of strains. Their magnetic properties have been studied by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) and Brillouin light scattering (BLS) in the Damon-Eshbach geometry. VSM characterizations revealed that films with Co thickness below (above) the spin reorientation transition thickness, which is capping layer dependent, are perpendicularly (in-plane) magnetized, suggesting the existence of an interface anisotropy. The magnetic dead layer has been taken into account to precisely determine the surface anisotropy constant was found to be 1.42 ± 0.02 erg/cm2 and of 1.33 ± 0.02 erg/cm2 for the Pt/Co/Cu and Pt/Co/Ir samples, respectively, suggesting that it is due to the Pt/Co interface and that the top Co/Cu or Co/Ir interfaces have a negligible contribution. A lower value of 1.07 ± 0.02 erg/cm2 has been obtained for Pt/Co/MgO most probably due to over-oxidation of Co at the Co/MgO interface. The BLS measurements revealed a pronounced nonreciprocal spin waves propagation, due to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (iDMI) induced by Pt interface with Co, which increases with decreasing Co thickness. The surface iDMI constant Ds estimated at -0.8 pJ/m, -1.05 pJ/m and –0.95 pJ/m, respectively for Pt/Co/Ir, Pt/Co/Cu and Pt/Co/MgO for the samples where a linear thickness dependence of the effective iDMI constant has been observed.

seed layers
摘要： We characterize asymmetric growth of magnetic bubble domains in perpendicularly magnetized Co/Ni multilayers grown on PtxIr1?x seed layers by application of perpendicular and in-plane magnetic fields. Using a refined model of domain wall creep that incorporates contributions from the anisotropic elastic energy, ε, and a chirality-dependent prefactor, v0, we elucidate factors that govern the mobility of Dzyaloshinskii domain walls as a function of seed-layer composition. The interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) magnitude is found to decrease monotonically with xIr, which is independently confirmed by Brillouin light scattering. Moreover, the persistence of significant asymmetry in velocity curves across the full composition range supports previous assertions that a chirality-dependent attempt frequency akin to chiral damping could play a critical role in the observed trends. This work helps resolve fundamental questions about the factors governing Dzyaloshinskii domain-wall creep and demonstrates varying Pt-Ir seed-layer composition as a method to tune DMI.

Injection locking of multiple auto-oscillation modes in a tapered nanowire spin Hall oscillator
摘要： Spin Hall oscillators (SHO) are promising candidates for the generation, detection and amplification of high frequency signals, that are tunable through a wide range of operating frequencies. They offer to be read out electrically, magnetically and optically in combination with a simple bilayer design. Here, we experimentally study the spatial dependence and spectral properties of auto-oscillations in SHO devices based on Pt(7 nm)/Ni80Fe20(5 nm) tapered nanowires. Using Brillouin light scattering microscopy, we observe two individual self-localized spin-wave bullets that oscillate at two distinct frequencies (5.2 GHz and 5.45 GHz) and are localized at different positions separated by about 750 nm within the SHO. This state of a tapered SHO has been predicted by a Ginzburg-Landau auto-oscillator model, but not yet been directly confirmed experimentally. We demonstrate that the observed bullets can be individually synchronized to external microwave signals, leading to a frequency entrainment, linewidth reduction and increase in oscillation amplitude for the bullet that is selected by the microwave frequency. At the same time, the amplitude of other parasitic modes decreases, which promotes the single-mode operation of the SHO. Finally, the synchronization of the spin-wave bullets is studied as a function of the microwave power. We believe that our findings promote the realization of extended spin Hall oscillators accomodating several distinct spin-wave bullets, that jointly cover an extended range of tunability.

摘要： We observe strain-induced spin-wave routing in the bilateral composite multilayer. By means of Brillouin light scattering, we study the spin-wave transport across three adjacent magnonic stripes, which are strain coupled to a piezoelectric layer. The strain may effectively induce voltage-controlled dipolar spin-wave interactions. We experimentally demonstrate the basic features of the voltage-controlled spin-wave switching. We show that the spin-wave characteristics can be tuned with an electrical field due to piezoelectricity and magnetostriction of the piezolayer and layered composite and mechanical coupling between them.
