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.

Underlayer dependence of electric field effect on magnetic anisotropy and its volatility in CoFeB/MgO structures
摘要： We report the dependence of voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy (VCMA) effect and its volatility on an underlayer (UL) in CoFeB/MgO structures. For a sample with Ta or Pt UL, the VCMA effect occurs when the applied gate voltage (Vg) exceeds a critical value, and it persists even after removing Vg. This is in contrast to the volatile VCMA effect and its linear dependence on Vg in a sample with W UL. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the volatility of the VCMA effect can be modified by introducing a Ta/W bilayer, enabling arbitrary control of the magnetic properties via VCMA effect.

Annealing effect on laser-induced magnetization dynamics in Co/Ni-based synthetic antiferromagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
摘要： We report a comprehensive study of annealing treatment modulation on the laser-induced ultrafast magnetic behaviors in antiferromagnetically exchange-coupled [Ni/Co]4/Ru/[Co/Ni]3 multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Magnetic hysteresis loops indicate that the uniaxial PMA ?eld Hkeff decreases monotonously with the increase in annealing temperature Ta, but the variation of interlayer coupling ?eld Hex is rather complicated. Time-resolved magnetic-optical Kerr effect (MOKE) measurements demonstrate that the laser-excited demagnetization and precession process relies signi?cantly on Ta. Upon laser impulsion, the MOKE signal immediately shows a nonchanging transient increase and decrease with H increasing for low Ta, but only the ultrafast decreasing behavior for high Ta. From the subsequent dynamic precession spectra, the optical and acoustic precession modes are identi?ed. By ?tting the ?eld-dependent frequency curves via the deduced dispersion relations, both Hkeff and Hex are determined and their variation trends agree well with the results from the static magnetic measurement. Moreover, it is found that the critical ?eld where the ultrafast signal decrease occurs is dependent on the co-effect of Hkeff and Hex, whereas the maximum ?eld at which the optical mode precession disappears shares the same trend as Hex. The magnetic damping of acoustic mode is seen to increase with Ta due to the increased inhomogeneities. Our ?ndings provide a deep understanding of the magnetic properties in synthetic antiferromagnetic multilayers with high annealing temperatures, which will be helpful for designing advanced spintronic devices.

Precession damping in [Co <sub/>60</sub> Fe <sub/>40</sub> /Pt] <sub/>5</sub> multilayers with varying magnetic homogeneity investigated with femtosecond laser pulses
摘要： We report on the ultrafast magnetization dynamics of [Co60Fe40/Pt]5 multilayers studied with femtosecond laser pulses. The samples were grown at room temperature by DC magnetron sputtering with Ta capping and Pt buffer layers and present the same thickness and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy as determined by vibrating sample magnetometry. Controlled growth rate of the Pt buffer layer modified the anisotropy fields and magnetic domain sizes as measured by magnetic force microscopy (MFM). An estimation of the average magnetic domain sizes was obtained from the profile of the self-correlation transform of the MFM images. For multilayers having an average magnetic domain size of 490 nm, we report a damped precession of the magnetization which decays with a time constant of ～100 ps and which has a frequency which varies from 8.4 GHz to 17.0 GHz as the external field increases from 192 mT to 398 mT. Fitting the precession dynamics with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation we evaluated the damping α, which decreases from 0.18 to 0.05 with increasing magnetic domain sizes (127 nm to 490 nm). These α values are higher than for single layers suggesting an enhanced scattering and spin pumping effects from the Pt adjacent layers. In addition, the precession frequency increases from 2.04 GHz to 11.50 GHz as the anisotropy field of the multilayers increases from 6.5 kOe to 13.0 kOe. Finally, a comparative analysis between micromagnetic simulations and MFM images allowed us to determine the exchange stiffness (Aex) in the [Co60Fe40/Pt]5 multilayers.

Transparent Collision Visualization of Point Clouds Acquired by Laser Scanning
摘要： Exploring two-dimensional (2D) materials with room-temperature ferromagnetism and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is highly desirable but challenging. Here, through first-principles calculations, we propose a viable strategy to achieve such materials based on transition metal (TM) embedded borophene nanosheets. Due to electron deficiency, the commonly existent hexagon boron vacancies in various borophene phases serve as intrinsic anchor points for electron-rich transition metals, which not only adsorb strongly upon the vacancies but also favor to be embedded into the vacancies, forming 2D planar hybrid nanosheets. The adsorption-to-embedding transition is feasible thermodynamically and kinetically, owing to its exothermic nature and relatively small kinetic barriers. After embedding, phase transition is further proposed to obtain diverse structures of TM embedded borophenes with versatile magnetic properties. Based on the example of χ3 phase borophene, several ferromagnetic TM embedded borophene nanosheets with high Curie temperature and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have been predicted.

trilayers
摘要： Chiral domain walls in ultrathin perpendicularly magnetized layers have a Néel structure stabilized by a Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) that is generated at the interface between the ferromagnet and a heavy metal. Different interface materials or properties are required above and below a ferromagnetic film in order to generate the structural inversion asymmetry needed to ensure that the DMI arising at the two interfaces does not cancel. Here we report on the magnetic properties of epitaxial Pt/Co/AuxPt1?x trilayers grown by sputtering onto sapphire substrates with 0.6 nm thick Co. As x rises from 0 to 1, a structural inversion asymmetry is progressively generated. We characterize the epilayer structure with x-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy, revealing (111) stacking. The saturation magnetization falls as the proximity magnetization in Pt is reduced, whilst the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy Ku rises. The micromagnetic DMI strength D was determined using the bubble expansion technique and also rises from a negligible value when x = 0 to ～1 mJ/m2 for x = 1. The depinning field at which field-driven domain wall motion crosses from the creep to the depinning regime rises from ～40 to ～70 mT, attributed to greater spatial fluctuations of the domain wall energy with increasing Au concentration. Meanwhile, the increase in DMI causes the Walker field to rise from ～10 to ～280 mT, meaning that only in the x = 1 sample is the steady flow regime accessible. The full dependence of domain wall velocity on driving field bears little resemblance to the prediction of a simple one-dimensional model, but can be described very well using micromagnetic simulations with a realistic model of disorder. These reveal a rise in Gilbert damping as x increases.

Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and its electric field effect in Co ultrathin films deposited directly on SrTiO <sub/>3</sub> (111) surface
摘要： We have investigated magnetic anisotropy and its electric ?eld e?ect in ultrathin Co with a Pt cap layer. The layers were directly deposited on SrTiO3(111) and (100) surfaces without any under layer. In as-deposited samples, a stronger perpendicular magnetic anisotropy was observed in the (111) sample. A back gate con?guration was used to apply the electric ?eld to the bottom surface of Co layer through the SrTiO3 substrate. In both samples, the coercivity was enhanced with a positive gate bias, which corresponds to the direction of the electron accumulation. The e?ciency of the change in the coercivity per modulated electron density was greater in the (111) sample over a wide temperature range including 2 K, at which the thermally activated magnetization reversal was expected to be suppressed. The results suggest that the surface orientation of the substrate a?ects both the magnetic anisotropy and its electric ?eld e?ect on Co.

Electric field-induced creation and directional motion of domain walls and skyrmion bubbles
摘要： Magnetization dynamics driven by an electric field could provide long-term benefits to information technologies because of its ultralow power consumption. Meanwhile, the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in interfacially asymmetric multilayers consisting of ferromagnetic and heavy-metal layers can stabilize topological spin textures, such as chiral domain walls, skyrmions, and skyrmion bubbles. These topological spin textures can be controlled by an electric field, and hold promise for building advanced spintronic devices. Here, we present an experimental and numerical study on the electric field-induced creation and directional motion of topological spin textures in magnetic multilayer films and racetracks with thickness gradient and interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction at room temperature. We find that the electric field-induced directional motion of chiral domain wall is accompanied with the creation of skyrmion bubbles at certain conditions. We also demonstrate that the electric field variation can induce motion of skyrmion bubbles. Our findings may provide opportunities for developing skyrmion-based devices with ultralow power consumption.
