Artificial spin ice (ASI) [1] systems are two-dimensional arrays of single-domain nanomagnetic islands that are designed to study collective behavior of interacting magnetic systems. These nanoislands usually have a stadium shape so that the magnetization orients along the longer axis, i.e., the moments are Ising-like. Most research on ASI systems focuses on different arrangements of nanoisland arrays [2], but, recently, some studies have focused on modifying the shapes of nanoislands [3,4]. Here, we introduce a new design of nanoislands, the Y-shape island, which has three equal-length arms joining at the center, with 120° separation. This island has six possible moment configurations in which the magnetization on each arm points either toward the center or away from it. We fabricated such nanoislands from permalloy, arranged in a hexagonal lattice geometry (Fig 1). Since permalloy has little magnetocrystalline anisotropy, the magnetization of the nanoislands can be well-controlled by utilizing shape anisotropy. We annealed such samples above the Curie temperature and examined the moment configurations using magnetic force microscopy after the samples cooled back to room temperature. We find strong correlations among the complex moment arrangements of these islands, suggesting the possibility of new types of moment ordering and new phenomenological ways of describing these novel magnetic objects associated with their unusual symmetry.&lt;br/&gt;Work at Yale University was funded by the US Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division under Grant No. DE-SC0020162.

Metallic ferrimagnets consisting of rare earth (RE) / transition metal (TM) alloys exhibit an intriguing magnetic compensation of the RE/TM magnetic sublattices as a function of composition and temperature. We are developing compositionally modulated RE/TM alloy films that exploit the large change in TMagComp as the RE content is varied. We grow Fe1-xGdx films where the Gd content x is modulated throughout the depth of the film and key question in such structures is the interface length between two Fe1-xGdx layers with different Gd content; this will establish the minimum modulation length of RE/TM structures with varying composition. We examine a series of bilayer structures [Si/ SiO2(3nm)/Ta(10nm)/Fe1-xGdx(50nm)/ Fe1-yGdy(50nm)/ Ta(8nm)] where the Gd content (x or y) is varied. To investigate the magnetic profile of these films, we utilize polarized neutron reflectometry (PNR) as a function of temperature. PNR is an ideal technique to examine these structures as it probes the magnetization parallel to the field as a function of depth and the magnetic scattering length density (mSLD) is modified significantly as the temperature is tuned through TMagComp of a particular layer. We examine samples where TMagComp of a particular layer is &gt; 300 K, ~100 K and ~50 K. A sample that has TMagComp &gt;300K and ~100K for the bottom and top layers respectively exhibits strong modifications to the spin asymmetry [SA: (↑↑- ↓↓)/(↑↑+↓↓)] of the PNR. The SA develops a pronounced dip at Q~0.045 Å-1 and reduced broadening of the peak at Q~0.28 Å-1 as the temperature decreases (Fig 1). Similar variations to the SA are observed in samples with different compensation temperatures. To extract the magnetic behavior of the samples while emphasizing the interfacial region, we fit the mSLD for each temperature while keeping the structural properties the same. The fitting suggests that the evolution of the magnetic interface is nontrivial.

Modified Magnetic Interface in Compositionally Modulated Ferrimagnetic Fe1-xGdx Multilayers

Exchange springs are versatile systems in which domain walls can be tailored by the different magnetic properties of exchange coupled layers such as in ferrimagnetic GdCo/GdCo’ multilayers [1]. We present here an experimental study by soft X-ray magnetic vector tomography [2] of Gd12Co88/Nd17Co83/Gd24Co76 multilayers with weak stripe domains (induced by NdCo) and in which the competition between exchange and magnetostatic coupling can be tuned by the composition of the ferrimagnetic GdCo layers (as sketched in Fig. 1) [3]. The 3D analysis of the vector magnetic configuration of the Gd sublattice m(Gd) in a demagnetized state shows a complex configuration that includes stripe domains with a distorted closure domain structure across the thickness, exchange spring walls with out-of-plane magnetization reversal and modulated ripple patterns (Fig. 2). An analytical model, proposed to describe global coupling across the exchange spring boundary between NdCo and GdCo layers, shows that the strength of effective interlayer coupling can be finely tuned playing with the averaging of lateral and in-depth competing interactions so that it can be externally adjusted by magnetic history.

Fig. 1 Sketch of GdCo/NdCo/GdCo' ferrimagnetic multilayer with competing interactions. Exchange at the interface favors parallel alignment of M(Co) in all the layers. However, at top layer Gd24Co76 layer, net magnetization is aligned with M(Gd) and antiparallel with M(Co). Magnetostatic interactions, represented by an effective stray field εHd, favor an antiparallel alignment of M(Co) at both sides of the interface. These competing interactions create an exchange spring near the top of the multilayer.

Interfacial phenomena in magnetic thin film systems are key to future spintronic applications. For materials close to the Stoner criterion, such as Pt, electronic hybridisation at the interface with a magnetic material results in a proximity induced moment (PIM), with debate ongoing regarding the role of the induced moment with regards to interfacial spin transport [1,2]. Recently, rare-earth:transition metal (RE:TM) ferrimagnetic alloys have shown promise in spintronic applications, due to the net zero magnetisation at the compensation point of the two competing magnetic sub-lattices. This compensation, which occurs as a function of both temperature and alloy composition, enhances domain wall motion [3], thermal switching [4] and leads to vanishing skyrmion Hall angles [5]. However, in multilayered systems, it has not been experimentally shown whether the induced moment in a Pt at the interface with a RE:TM ferrimagnet will align with the net moment, or one of the magnetic sublattices. Here we present the results of a recently published study [6] investigating the magnetic moments in ferrimagnetic / Pt systems, using Co77Gd23 and (Co50Fe50)77Gd23 ferrimagnetic alloys to vary the dominant magnetic sublattice. Temperature dependent SQUID measurements, combined with element specific resonant x-ray measurements at the APS, Argonne Lab on the Pt and Gd L3 edges, allowed for the determination of the alignment of the Gd moments and induced Pt moments on either side of the compensation transition. In both cases, the PIM was found to be parallel to the TM sublattice rather than the RE or the net moment. Our results highlight the prominence of the d−d mediated interactions between the Pt and the constituents of the ferrimagnetic RE:TM alloys over the net macroscopic moment.

Proximity induced magnetism in Pt layered with rare-earth:transition metal ferrimagnetic alloys

Combining perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) with half-metallicity (HM) in thin-film geometry may provide additional functionalities for spintronic devices. However, such combination may be a challenging task, since HM is usually destroyed in thin-film geometry (e.g., due to the emergence of surface states), while PMA is most pronounced in reduced geometry, because of the contribution from surface anisotropy. Here, we explore the nature of PMA in thin-film full Heusler alloy Co2MnSi. This material is one of the first compounds for which half-metallic electronic structure was experimentally confirmed. In addition, it has been reported that this alloy may exhibit PMA in thin-film geometry. Here, by analyzing site-projected magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE), we confirm that both PMA and surface half-metallicity are very sensitive to the termination surface and mechanical strain. In particular, while MnSi-termination under compressive strain may retain both 100% spin-polarization and out-of-plane magnetization orientation, Co-termination has a detrimental impact on both. These results may serve as a guide for practical nano-device applications in the field of spintronics.

First principles study of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in thin-film Co2MnSi

In the race for the miniaturization of electronic devices, modern science reached the ultimate level of monoatomic layers. Whereas, magnetic tunnel junctions with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy reached the limit of about twenty atomic monolayers [1]. In our work, we systematically study the magnetic anisotropy of Fe and FeCo thin films of size from one to twenty atomic monolayers. Theoretical studies are based on calculations using the full-potential local-orbital electronic structure code FPLO [2] and generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The chemical disorder in FeCo layers was modeled using virtual crystal approximation (VCA). A set of layers with different thicknesses formed based on the bcc structure was subjected to full geometry optimization. The set of equilibrium structures was then recalculated using a fully relativistic approach for two orthogonal magnetization directions (in-plane and out-of-plane). The results of calculations allow the interpretation of parallel experimental studies in which FeCo layers on Au substrate are analyzed. The result of ab-initio calculations is a series of dependences of structural and magnetic parameters on layer thickness. Fig. 1 shows an example of the dependence of the optimized lattice constant on the Fe layer thickness. For few-atom-thick Fe layers there is a large reduction of the lattice parameter with respect to the value for bulk bcc Fe, to which the parameters determined for thicker layers converge. Fig. 2 presents the dependence of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy (MAE) on the Fe layer thickness. Positive values denote perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, negative values denote anisotropy in-plane. The calculated value of MAE for Fe monolayer equal to 0.58 meV/atom is in good agreement with the previous GGA result equal to 0.50 meV/atom [3]. These results were compared with measurements of the ratio of orbital to spin magnetic moment using VNA-FMR. We found that the contribution of surface anisotropy to the effective anisotropy is strong enough to overcome the shape anisotropy in Au/CoFe/Au systems.

Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy of Fe and FeCo Thin Films

Motivated by immense scientific interest in Co-based Heusler compounds [1 - 3] Co2FeSi and Co2TiSi as promising candidates for spintronics applications, 100 nm thick Co2Fe0.5Ti0.5Si (CFTS) thin films were grown on Si(100) substrates at substrate temperatures (TS) ranging from 200°C to 550°C by ultra-high vacuum magnetron sputtering. The deposited films were annealed in-situ at TS for 30 min. Energy-dispersive X-ray absorption spectroscopy yielded the actual alloy composition as Co2.01Fe0.51Ti0.24Si1.24. X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, shown in figure 1, reveal no Bragg peaks for TS200 film, broad fundamental peak (220) for TS350 film, and three sharp peaks (111), (220), and (422) for the remaining films. Thus, the crystalline structure gradually evolves from amorphous to ordered L21 structure as the TS increases; the TS500 film has the highest L21 order. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra were recorded at various polar (‘out-of-plane’, OP) field angles, θH, at a fixed frequency of 9.45 GHz. A typical FMR spectrum, taken at θH = 0 for the TS500 film, shown in figure 2(a), demonstrates that besides the uniform precession q = 0 spin wave (SW) mode, the SW modes with q ≠ 0 exist. A detailed analysis [4 - 6] of the resonance field, Hres, versus θH plots (see Fig.2(a) inset) reveals a dominant OP uniaxial anisotropy. Fig.2(b) bears out that the frequency (f) vs. Hres plots, obtained using the broad-band (3–17 GHz) FMR setup, are well described by the Kittel resonance condition [7] (the curves through the data points):f=γ/2π[(Hr+Hk)×(Hr+HK+4πMeff)]1/2, where γ=(2πgµB)/h is the gyromagnetic ratio, Meff, effective magnetization while HK, g, and µB are the in-plane (IP) anisotropy field, Lande g-factor and Bohr magneton. We find that the IP anisotropy is very weak, and g has the minimum value of 2.02 for the TS500 film with the highest L21 order. The Gilbert damping constant (α) is determined from the linear fits (straight lines) to the frequency-dependent `peak-to-peak’ FMR linewidth (ΔH) data (symbols), shown in Fig.2(b) inset, based on the relation [8] ΔH=ΔHinhomo+(2/√3)2παf/γ. The TS500 film has the lowest value of α = 0.0032.

Effect of site disorder on the resonant microwave absorption in Co2Fe0.5Ti0.5Si Heusler alloy thin films

Buckminsterfullerene (C60) can exhibit ferromagnetism at the interface (called as a spinterface) when it is placed next to a ferromagnet (FM). The formation of spinterface can influence the domain size and dynamics of the organic/ferromagnetic heterostructure [1-3]. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropic (PMA) systems are the most suitable candidates for data storage devices due to their high intrinsic anisotropy [4]. It has been demonstrated that with increasing thickness of the OSC layer on a Co ultrathin film one can tune the anisotropy of the system from in-plane to out-of-plane geometry [5]. However, FM-OSC systems with PMA have not been studied extensively. In this context, we have studied the tunability of magnetization relaxation and domain structure for Pt/Co/C60/Pt system with perpendicular anisotropy. We have prepared thin films of Pt/Co/Pt [sample 1] and Pt/Co/C60/Pt [sample 2]. Fig.1 show the hysteresis loops and domain images measured using polar MOKE for both the samples. It has been observed that the size of the bubbles shrinks for sample 2 in comparison to sample 1. The possible explanation may be the formation of spinterface at Co-C60 interface, which increases the overall anisotropy of the system and decreases the domain size. However, the overall shape of the bubble domains remains same to its parent Pt/Co/Pt thin film. To calculate the relaxation time of a system we have performed magnetic relaxation measurements at different sub-coercive fields (0.93, 0.95, 097 Hc). For both the samples relaxation time decrease with increasing the applied magnetic field, which is expected. However, for Pt/Co/C60/Pt (sample 2) the relaxation time is reduced by ~ 50% as compared to Pt/Co/Pt (sample 1). Therefore, it is inferred that by introducing a C60 layer the switching speed of a system can be tuned which is a promising way to build device applications. Further, we have performed DFT calculation to understand the underneath mechanism of the Co/C60 spinterface.

Though nano-hetero-structured (NHS) magnetic materials preparation using sputtering, electron beam lithography/ evaporation (EBL/EBE) have inspired a wealth of experimental results, to date, there is a very limited experimental understanding of preparing in situ NHS magnetic material using electrodeposition technique and the elucidation of their magnetic behavior. Towards this end, using pulse reverse [1] electrodeposition technique with a modified and stable acidic bath chemistry at room temperature, we have prepared in situ NHS magnetic cobalt phosphorus (CoP) thin film and investigated its characteristics structurally and magnetically combined with micromagnetic simulation utilizing MuMax3 [2]. Despite the availability of various techniques, the electrodeposition technique [1,3–5] has been chosen due to its relatively higher deposition rate and low cost. Here, CoP thin films with ultralow coercivity to moderate coercivity have been prepared from a single starting material from the same bath. The crossover from the ultralow coercivity to a comparatively higher coercivity has been demonstrated by the manipulation of the time width of the current (shown in FIG. 1) in a single amorphous system of CoP nanomagnetic thin film. We have characterized the developed smooth, stress-free, and shiny electroplated samples structurally by SEM, TEM, and magnetically by the hysteresis loop tracer (ShB Instruments, USA). The SEM micrographs confirm the fine-grain surface morphology of the cobalt phosphorous nanomagnetic thin films. The elemental analysis by energy dispersive X-Ray (EDX) yields the stoichiometry of the electrodeposited cobalt phosphorous. This pulse reverse plating technique could be an ideal option to tune the spin configuration with respect to the multi-nano layer thicknesses to obtain an optimum exchange coupling. The static in-plane magnetic measurement by the hysteresis loop tracer is shown in FIG. 2(c)-(d) reveals different hysteresis loops of electrodeposited CoP thin film.

Structural and Magnetic Study of Single Nano-Hetero-Structured Co-Rich CoP Magnetic Thin Films

One of the main goals of quantum computing is to find stable quantum bit realizations. Magnetic chains on superconducting surfaces manifest topologically protected Majorana quasiparticles as zero-energy modes located at the ends of the chain makeing them possible candidates for such fault-tolerant quantum computing. The rapid development of scanning tunneling microscopy measurements in the past decade provided an effective way to study these system in experiments with a high energy resolution turning not only the experimental but the theoretical interest to this way. In the present work we introduce an ab initio approach employing multiple scattering theory and Green's function embedding for the calculation of the spectral properties of magnetic impurities embedded onto the surface of a superconducting host. We consider different Fe clusters separated by a single Au overlayer on Nb(110) which is highly motivated by experiments. We perform systematic calculations for dimers and chains along different crystallographic directions, with different distances of the Fe atoms and in different magnetic configurations. Based on the local density of states (LDOS) we study the conditions under which Majorana zero modes might appear.

Artificial spin ices (ASI) are magnetic metamaterials comprising geometrically-tiled interacting nanomagnets. Typically each nanoisland is magnetized along its long axis giving an Ising ‘macrospin’. There has been significant recent interest in these systems for functional magnonics due to their large reconfigurable dipolar field landscape. Here we present recent advances using a width modification scheme where artificial spin ice is modified by widening a subset of bars relative to the rest of the array. There are two principal benefits to the width modification. Firstly, Increasing width decreases the coercive field of the macrospins, so certain geometric tilings of the wide bars allow preparation of any ordered macrospin vertex state via simple global-field protocols1. Secondly at a certain width the macrospin spin state will be energetically equivalent with the vortex state so the wide bars can be tuned to be metastable in the macrospin and vortex states, yielding Artificial Spin-Vortex Ice (ASVI)2. The precise control of both nanoisland magnetism and vertex configuration by the width modification enables us to demonstrate the efficacy of zero-field ferromagnetic resonance measurements of the spin-wave spectrum as a fingerprint of the local dipolar field environment and vertex populations in magnetic nanostructures3. Artificial Spin-Vortex Ice allows a cross over experimentally from the classic 2-state Ising ASI to a 4-state Potts model system where the macrospins can convert into closed vortices. Unlike in a ‘clock model’ Potts system, the dipolar interactions are almost completely eliminated in the vortex state.4 The enhanced bi-texture microstate space gives rise to emergent physical memory phenomena, with ratchet-like vortex training and history-dependent nonlinear training dynamics. We observe vortex-domain formation alongside MFM tip vortex-writing. Tip-written vortices dramatically alter local reversal and memory dynamics. The precise control and the dramatic differences in local dipolar environment are very promising for reconfigurable magnonics. In the width modified macrospin ASI, we obtain shifts in ferromagnetic resonance frequency of the order of hundreds of MHz and access states with mode hybridization. ASVI yield much stronger contrast in dipolar environment such that the gap between the macrospin and the vortex peak is around 3.8 GHz.
