    Artificial multiferroic heterostructures, that is to say, ferromagnetic/ferroelectric heterostructures, have been the subject of considerable research interest as a potential material basis for the creation of novel energy-efficient device applications. Given that polarization reversal occurs in ferroelectric materials when an electric field is applied, it is possible to modulate the magnetic properties of a ferromagnetic layer due to changes in the polarization charge associated with a ferroelectric material, or due to exchange coupling, ionic transport, or orbital hybridization at the interface between the ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials. Another essential characteristic of ferroelectric materials is their inverse piezoelectricity, which induces strain through the application of an electric field. The inverse piezoelectric strain is transferred to the ferromagnetic layer, thereby modulating the magnetic properties due to the magnetoelastic effect. In comparison to the various effects, the influence of strain transfer on magnetic properties is particularly pronounced, offering promising avenues for controlling magnetic properties via an electric field without the use of an electric current. This review article aims to present an overview of recent developments in the field of electric field effects on magnetic properties, with a particular focus on the role of strain transfer in magneto-electric effects. The potential applications of artificial multiferroic heterostructures are discussed, including the control of magnetic anisotropy, as well as the manipulation of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, magnetoresistance, interlayer exchange coupling, spin wave propagation, spin damping, magnetic phase, and superconductivity. The article concludes with a consideration of the future prospects of artificial multiferroic heterostructures for next-generation device applications.

    Van der Waals (vdW) two-dimensional (2D) materials have unleashed unprecedented opportunities to probe emerging physics that could be potential candidates for various functional applications. In particular, vdW 2D magnetic materials exhibit significant potential for advanced spintronic devices. Recently, Fe3GaTe2 has been discovered to possess the room-temperature ferromagnetic property with an intrinsic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). Furthermore, considerably large anomalous Hall and Nernst angles have been reported recently. These groundbreaking findings pave the way for significant advances in high density random-access memory as well as energy harvesting devices based on spin conversion. Enhancements in the PMA and Curie temperature contribute to improved performance with reliable operation in a wide temperature range above room temperature. Moreover, the exploration of giant anomalous Hall and Nernst angles is a crucial factor for the efficient operation of spintronic devices. In this study, we demonstrate that the application of pressure to the Fe3GaTe2 2D ferromagnetic film strengthens the interlayer coupling, resulting in an improved PMA property. In addition, the application of pressure has been found to significantly increase the anomalous Hall angle. Our findings suggest that the application of pressure effectively controls the vdW interlayer coupling, thereby manipulating the ferromagnetic and spin-conversion properties of the 2D materials.

    In ferromagnetic metal (FM)/non-magnetic metal (NM) bilayer structures, dynamical spin injection is primarily attributed to spin pumping at the interface. However, thermal effects, such as the spin (dependent) Seebeck effect (S(d)SE) caused by FMR heating effect, are also expected to contribute, particularly farther from the interface within the FM layer. In this study, the detailed mechanism of dynamical spin injection in CoFeB/Pt bilayer films has been investigated. We demonstrate the proper evaluation of the CoFeB thickness dependence of inverse spin Hall voltage by subtracting the signal from single CoFeB system. The dynamical spin injection and FMR heating effect were observed to significantly depend on thickness. Additionally, we separated the contributions of SSE and SdSE by focusing on their diffusion properties and found that SSE is larger than SdSE in the CoFeB/Pt bilayer film.

    We investigate the gyrotropic motion of the magnetic vortex core in a chain of a few micron-sized Permalloy disks by electrical resistance measurement with amplitude-modulated magnetic field. We observe a distinctive splitting of the resistance peak due to the resonant vortex-core motion under heightened radio frequency (RF) magnetic field excitation. Our micromagnetic simulation identifies the splitting of the resonant peak as an outcome of vortex polarity reversal under substantial RF amplitudes. This study enhances our understanding of nonlinear magnetic vortex dynamics amidst large RF amplitudes and proposes a potential pathway for spintronic neural computing thanks to their unique and controllable magnetization dynamics.

    Efficient manipulation of spin waves (SWs) is considered as one of the promising means for encoding information with low power consumption in next-generation spintronic devices. The SW Doppler shift is a key phenomenon obtained by manipulating SW propagation. Here, we predict an efficient way to control the SW Doppler shift by voltage-control magnetic-anisotropy-boundary (MAB) movement in the FM-FE heterojunction. From the micromagnetic simulation, we verified that the SW Doppler shift aligns well with our theoretical predictions in Fe/BaTiO3 heterostructure. The SW Doppler shift also shows an ultra-wide-band-shift (over 5 GHz) property with voltage. Such an efficient SW Doppler shift may provide one possible way to measure the Hawking radiation of an analogue black hole in the SW systems.

    We have experimentally investigated the mechanism of the exchange bias in 2D van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnets by means of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) together with the dynamical magnetization property. The temperature dependence of the AC susceptibility with its frequency response indicates a glassy transition of the magnetic property for the Te-rich FeGeTe vdW ferromagnet. We also found that the irreversible temperature dependence in the anomalous Hall voltage follows the de Almeida-Thouless line. Moreover, the freezing temperature of the spin-glass-like phase is found to correlate with the disappearance temperature of the exchange bias. These important signatures suggest that the emergence of magnetic exchange bias in the 2D van der Waals ferromagnets is induced by the presence of the spin-glass-like state in FeGeTe. The unprecedented insights gained from these findings shed light on the underlying principles governing exchange bias in vdW ferromagnets, contributing to the advancement of our understanding.

    Strongly-interacting nanomagnetic arrays are ideal systems for exploring reconfigurable magnonics. They provide huge microstate spaces and integrated solutions for storage and neuromorphic computing alongside GHz functionality. These systems may be broadly assessed by their range of reliably accessible states and the strength of magnon coupling phenomena and nonlinearities. Increasingly, nanomagnetic systems are expanding into three-dimensional architectures. This has enhanced the range of available magnetic microstates and functional behaviours, but engineering control over 3D states and dynamics remains challenging. Here, we introduce a 3D magnonic metamaterial composed from multilayered artificial spin ice nanoarrays. Comprising two magnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer, each nanoisland may assume four macrospin or vortex states per magnetic layer. This creates a system with a rich 16N microstate space and intense static and dynamic dipolar magnetic coupling. The system exhibits a broad range of emergent phenomena driven by the strong inter-layer dipolar interaction, including ultrastrong magnon-magnon coupling with normalised coupling rates of Δfν=0.57, GHz mode shifts in zero applied field and chirality-control of magnetic vortex microstates with corresponding magnonic spectra.

    Recent discovery of 2D van der Waals magnetic materials has spurred progress in developing advanced spintronic devices. A central challenge lies in enhancing the spin-conversion efficiency for building spin-logic or spin-memory devices. Here, the anomalous Hall and Nernst effects are systematically investigated to uncover significant spin-conversion effects in above-room-temperature van der Waals ferromagnet FeGaTe with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The anomalous Hall effect demonstrates an efficient electric spin-charge conversion with a notable spin Hall angle of over 6&#37;. In addition, the anomalous Nernst effect produces a significant transverse voltage at room temperature without a magnetic field, displaying unique temperature dependence with a maximum transverse Seebeck coefficient of 440 nV K−1 and a Nernst angle of ≈62&#37;. Such an innovative thermoelectric signal arises from the efficient thermo-spin conversion effect, where the up-spin and down-spin electrons move in opposite directions under a temperature gradient. The present study highlights the potential of FeGaTe to enhance thermoelectric devices through efficient thermo-spin conversion without the need for a magnetic field.

    This study aimed to evaluate the bioactivity of poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK) after surface modification by persistent photoconductive strontium titanate (SrTiO3) magnetron sputtering and ultraviolet (UV) C irradiation. According to the different modifications, the PEEK specimens were randomly divided into five groups (n = 38/group): PEEK, Sr100-PEEK, Sr200-PEEK, UV/PEEK, and UV/Sr200-PEEK. Then, the specimens of Sr100-PEEK and Sr200-PEEK groups were, respectively, coated with 100 and 200 nm thickness photocatalyst SrTiO3 on the PEEK surface by magnetron sputtering. Subsequently, UV-C light photofunctionalized the specimens of PEEK and Sr200-PEEK groups to form UV/PEEK and UV/Sr200-PEEK groups. The specimens were characterized by a step meter, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and a water contact angle meter. The release test of the Sr ion was performed by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). In vitro study, osteogenic activity (MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells) and epithelial and connective tissue attachment (gingival epithelial cells GE1 and fibroblasts NIH3T3) were analyzed in five groups. Surface morphology of the specimens was changed after coating, and the Sr content on the Sr-PEEK surface was increased with increasing coating thickness. In addition, the contact angle was increased significantly after magnetron sputtering. After UV-C photofunctionalization, the content of surface elements changed and the contact angle was decreased. The release of Sr ion was sustained, and the final cumulative release amount did not exceed the safety limit. In vitro experiments showed that SrTiO3 improved the cell activity of MC3T3-E1 and UV-C irradiation further enhanced the osteogenic performance of PEEK. Besides, UV-C irradiation also significantly promoted the cell viability, development, and expression of adhesion proteins of GE1 and NIH3T3 on PEEK. The present investigation demonstrated that nano SrTiO3 coating with UV-C photofunctionalization synergistically enhanced the osteogenic properties and soft tissue sealing function of PEEK in vitro.

    Yttrium iron garnet (Y3Fe5O12, YIG) is an essential ferromagnetic insulator for enabling the transport of pure spin. The exchange coupling at the antiferromagnet/ferromagnet (AFM/FM) interface provides a means for engineering spintronic devices of YIG. In the previous results, the partially oxidized CoOx layer near the CoO/YIG interface is parallelly-coupled with the YIG layer, inducing the room temperature negative exchange bias (RT-NEB). In this study, we fabricated further oxidized CoO on YIG with sufficient O2-pressure, in which the room temperature positive exchange bias (RT-PEB) was observed. This RT-PEB can be explained if the CoO interface spins are aligned by the applied magnetic field (HAF) and coupled to YIG antiparallelly. The PEB increases with increasing HAF and saturates at HAF = 500 Oe. When the temperature is decreased below the Néel temperature of CoO, the PEB is gradually changed to NEB due to the dominance of AFM-CoO/YIG coupling. These findings pave the way for reversible modulation of the interfacial magnetic properties of insulating AFM/FM heterostructures.

    We have experimentally and theoretically investigated the influence of pressure on the spin Hall effect (SHE) for the Pt. The experimental results using a laterally configured Pt/CoFeB hybrid nanostructure suggest that the spin Hall angle for the Pt is almost constant under pressure up to 2 GPa. The theoretical study based on the first-principles calculation found the spin Hall conductivity for the Pt shows a 10&#37; reduction due to the pressure application of 75 GPa, supporting the experimental results. These results imply that the enhanced spin Hall signal in the dynamical spin injection due to the pressure application is caused by the enhancement of the interfacial spin mixing conductance.

    We investigate the magnetic properties of an epitaxial full-Heusler Co2FeSi film with an atomically controlled multiferroic interface coupled with a BaTiO3 substrate. The real-space observation of the magnetic domain structure using a magneto-optical Kerr microscope reveals perfect domain-pattern transfer from the ferroelectric substrate, indicating strong interface magnetoelectric coupling. The unique anisotropic magnetization reversal process was found to be induced by lateral modulation of the magnetic anisotropy constant through the strain-induced magnetoelectric coupling effect. The strong interface coupling yields efficient electrical manipulation of the magnetic property with the appropriate initial ferroelectric domain pattern. Our finding indicates that the interface multiferroic structure based on an epitaxially grown Heusler thin film is a promising approach for efficient electrical manipulation of magnetization.

We find that the contribution from the microwave heating effect is comparable to that from the heating due to the ferromagnetic resonance at the specific field direction. We also comfirm that the magnetic signal is caused by the entanglement between anomalous Nernst and inverse spin Hall effects. This result provides an important aspect in future energy hervesting devices based on spin.

    Abstract

    A dynamical spin injection based on the ferromagnetic resonance in a ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic bi-layered structure, is a powerful mean for generating and manipulating the spin current. Although the mechanism of the dynamical spin injection is mainly attributed to the spin pumping, the detailed mechanism and the quantitative understanding for related phenomena are still controversial. As an another important contribution to the dynamical spin injection, the heating effect due to the resonant precessional motion of the magnetization is pointed out recently. In order to quantify the contribution from the heating effect, we here investigate the dynamical spin injection in a CoFeB/Pt/CoFeB trilayer. Although the contribution from the spin pumping diminishes because of the symmetric spin injection from the upper and lower interfaces, a significant inverse spin Hall voltage has been clearly observed. We show that the observed voltage can be quantitatively understood by the thermal spin injection due to a heating effect during the ferromagnetic resonance. A proper combination between the spin pumping and the heat-flow control in the multi-layered system is a key for the efficient dynamical spin injection.

    The resonance property of a magnetic vortex contained within a micron-sized square Py dot was detected using an amplitude-modulated magnetic field excitation technique. We found a significant modulation of the resonant spectra as the external magnetic field changes. The Lorentzianlike spectrum changes from a peak to a dip via a transition of anti-Lorentzian-like spectra. By conducting the micromagnetic simulations, we confirmed that the transition behavior results from the unusual resistance change depending on the vortex core center position. Additionally, the power dependence of the anti-Lorentzian-like spectra revealed a fairly persistent coexistence of peak and dip. Thus, the tunable spectra suggest one way to develop an integratable radiofrequency microcircuits.

    Lateral spin valves are ideal nanostructures for investigating spin-transport physics phenomena and promoting the development of future spintronic devices owing to dissipation-less pure spin current. The magnitude of the spin accumulation signal is well understood as a barometer for characterizing spin current devices. Here, we develop a novel fabrication method for lateral spin valves based on ferromagnetic nanopillar structures using a multi-angle deposition technique. We demonstrate that the spin-accumulation signal is effectively enhanced by reducing the lateral dimension of the nonmagnetic spin channel. The obtained results can be quantitatively explained by the confinement of the spin reservoir by considering spin diffusion into the leads. The temperature dependence of the spin accumulation signal and the influence of the thermal spin injection under a high bias current are also discussed.

    We experimentally investigate the influence of the pressure on the spin-charge conversion efficiency in a CoFeB/Pt bilayer system by using a specially designed pressure-cell setup. The dc voltage spectra under the dynamical spin injection is found to show the systematic increase with increasing pressure. These modifications can be understood by the enhancement of the spin-charge conversion efficiency due to the modulation of the spin-orbit interaction and/or the exchange interaction at the interface. The present demonstration indicates that the pressure provides a tunable functionality for the physical constants in spintronic devices.

    <title>Abstract</title>
    A lateral spin valve consisting of highly spin-polarized CoFeAl electrodes with a CoFeAl/Cu bilayer spin channel has been developed. Despite a large spin absorption into the CoFeAl capping channel layer, an efficient spin injection and detection using the CoFeAl electrodes enable us to observe a clear spin valve signal. We demonstrate that the nonlocal spin accumulation signal is significantly modulated depending on the relative angle of the magnetizations between the spin injector and absorber. The observed modulation phenomena is explained by the longitudinal and transverse spin absorption effects into the CoFeAl channel layer with the spin resistance model.

  • Quantitative Evaluation of Heating Effect on Dynamical Spin Injection Using CoFeB/Pt/CoFeB Trilayered Film

    We have examined a dynamical spin injection in a CoFeB/Pt/CoFeB trilayered structure. Although the contribution of the spin pumping was eliminated by the symmetric spin injection from the upper and lower CoFeB layers, a clear voltage change due to the inverse spin Hall effect has been observed. We find that the observed signal can be quantitatively explained by considering the thermal spin injection due to the heating effect during ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). This innovative demonstration indicates the significant contribution of FMR heating in the dynamical spin injection.

    A mesoscopic multi-terminal superconducting Nb strip with a spin injection terminal has been developed. We investigate the influence of spin polarization on the relaxation process of the quasiparticle in the superconducting Nb. The position dependence of the nonlocal voltage provides the quasiparticle relaxation length. The relaxation length for the spin-polarized quasiparticle is found to show a 12.5% increase from that for the un-polarized quasiparticle. This demonstration opens a new avenue for utilization of the spin current in a superconducting device.

    Abstract

    The magnetic exchange bias (EB) effect is one of the representative interlayer magnetic coupling phenomena and is widely utilized in numerous technological applications. However, its mechanism is still elusive even in a simple magnetic bilayered system because of the complex interface magnetic orders. Van der Waals (vdW) layered magnetic materials may provide an essential platform for deeply understanding the detailed mechanism of the EB owing to its ideal interface structure. Here we first observed the positive exchange-biased anomalous Hall effect with a hopping switching behavior in the FeGeTe vdW nano-flakes. After systemically studying the cooling field dependence properties of the EB effect, we propose that the coexistence of stable and frustrated surface magnetization of the antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase will modify the total interface coupling energy density between the ferromagnetic and AFM phases. This model could provide a consistent description for such unusual EB effect based on microspin simulation.

    Herein, a systematic measurement of magneto-thermoelectric voltage induced in a ferromagnetic permalloy nanowire under the operation of a laterally configured nanospintronic device is performed. It is shown that the angular dependences of the magneto-thermoelectric signals with various probe configurations can be quantitatively understood by the combination of the magneto-Seebeck and anomalous Nernst effects. Surprisingly, the contribution of the transverse magneto-Seebeck effect becomes significant in a certain probe configuration, indicating the importance of the transverse heat flow. These results allow us to analyze the 3D distribution of the heat flow inside the permalloy nanowire. The present demonstration indicates that the magneto-thermoelectric effect is a powerful and reliable tool for analyzing the heat distribution in nanostructured devices.

    The dynamical spin injection in a ferromagnetic/paramagnetic bilayer with various paramagnetic layers has been examined by using the inverse spin Hall effect. We adapt a CoFeB film as a ferromagnetic layer, which has a large spin dependent Seebeck coefficient. The contribution of the spin pumping was evaluated from the line-width change of the ferromagnetic resonant spectra while that of the thermal spin injection was evaluated from the heat conductivity for the paramagnetic layer. We find that the spin Hall voltage does not show the systematic change with respect to the line-width change. However, the normalized spin Hall voltage is found to increase with the heat conductivity for the paramagnetic layer. These results suggest that the thermal spin injection is a major contribution for the dynamical spin injection in CoFeB/paramagnetic bilayer systems.

    We have investigated the influence of the spin-dependent scattering on the heat transports in NiFe/Cu/NiFe and Co/Cu/Co tri-layered nanowires. The thermal conductivity and its spin dependence for the tri-layered wires have been evaluated by using an integrated nano-sized thermo couple. We find that the thermal spin-valve effect is always approximately 8 times larger than the electrical spin-valve effect, namely giant magnetoresistance effect. The numerical simulation with the experimental results enable us to estimate the thermal conductivity for the tri-layered wire and its spin dependence. Surprisingly, the spin dependence of the thermal conductivity for the Co/Cu/Co wire is as high as 8&#37;, which is much larger than the electrical one. This indicates a high potential application of the thermal spin-valve effect.

    © 2019 Author(s). We fabricated quasiantiferromagnetic (quasi-AFM) layers with alternating antiparallel magnetization in the neighboring domains via 90° magnetic coupling through an Fe-O layer. We investigated the magnetic properties and the relationship between the magnetic domain size and the 90° magnetic coupling via experiments and calculations. Two types of samples with a Ru buffer and a (Ni80Fe20)Cr40 buffer were prepared, and we found that with the NiFeCr buffer, the sample has a flatter Fe-O layer, leading to stronger 90° magnetic coupling and a smaller domain size compared with the Ru buffer sample. This trend is well explained by the bilinear and biquadratic coupling coefficients, A12 and B12, in Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert simulations, suggesting the possibility of using both AFM and FM properties by controlling the quasi-AFM domain size.

    © 2019 We report on current-induced ferromagnetic resonance techniques to characterise spin-Hall effect at high temperatures. A microwave current was injected into a patterned CoFeB/Pt bi-layer grown on a glass substrate, simultaneously exerting spin-transfer torques through the spin-Hall effect and also causing Joule heating enabling the control of the device temperature. We measured the device temperature by using the device itself as a local temperature sensor. A clear reduction of CoFeB magnetisation was observed as the device temperature was increased allowing us to estimate the Curie temperature of our CoFeB film to be 920 K. The spin-Hall angle of Pt was quantified as (1.72 ± 0.03) × 10−2 at 300 K and was slightly increased to (1.75 ± 0.02) × 10−2 at 410 K. This simple method can be widely used for quantifying the spin-Hall angle of a large variety of materials at high temperatures.

    © 2019 American Physical Society. ©2019 American Physical Society. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is performed on kagome artificial spin ice (ASI) formed of disconnected Ni80Fe20 nanowires. Here we break the threefold angular symmetry of the kagome lattice by altering the coercive field of each sublattice via shape anisotropy modification. This allows for distinct high-frequency responses when a magnetic field is aligned along each sublattice and additionally enables simultaneous spin-wave resonances to be excited in all nanowire sublattices, unachievable in conventional kagome ASI. The different coercive field of each sublattice allows selective magnetic switching via global field, unlocking novel microstates inaccessible in homogeneous-nanowire ASI. The distinct spin-wave spectra of these states are detected experimentally via FMR and linked to underlying microstates using micromagnetic simulation.

    Crystal orientation effect on spin injection/detection efficiency in Si lateral spin-valve device
    We show evident crystal orientation effect on pure spin current transport in Si-based lateral spin-valve (LSV) devices with epitaxially grown CoFe/MgO tunnel contacts. When we compare nonlocal spin signals between LSV devices along < 1 0 0 > (Si < 1 0 0 >) and < 1 1 0 > (Si < 1 1 0 >), we find that the magnitude of the spin signals for Si < 100 > LSV devices is always larger than that for Si < 1 1 0 > LSV devices. The analyses based on the one-dimensional spin diffusion model reveal that the spin diffusion length and spin lifetime between Si < 1 0 0 > and Si < 1 1 0 > LSV devices are comparable, while the spin injection/detection efficiency in Si < 1 0 0 > LSV devices is evidently larger than that in Si < 1 1 0 > ones. Possible origins of the difference in the spin injection/detection efficiency between Si < 1 0 0 > and Si < 1 1 0 > LSV devices are discussed.

By using vector network analyzer measurements, we have demonstrated that the temperature gradient produces modulations of the frequency of ferromagnetic resonance and the linewidth of the resonance spectra. The observed parabolic dependences are well explained by the damping-like and field-like components of spin transfer torque.

Here, we examine another method for the dynamical spin injection based on the heating effect due to the ferromagnetic resonance in a (Co,Fe)B/Pt bilayer system. The (Co,Fe)B film heated by the ferromagnetic resonance produces the temperature gradient across the (Co,Fe)B/Pt interface, resulting in the thermal spin injection from the (Co,Fe)B layer into the Pt film. The obtained electrical signal clearly shows the spin Hall signature and exceeds 20 mV Ω-1 m-1, which is relatively large compared to the values reported in similar bilayer structures driven by spin pumping. The structural dependence of the inverse spin Hall signal and its power dependence provide consistent results with the dynamical thermal-spin-injection model due to the ferromagnetic resonance.

    Thermal spin injection is a unique and fascinating method for generating spin current. If magnetization can be controlled by thermal spin injection, various advantages will be provided in spintronic devices, through its wireless controllability. However, the generation efficiency of thermal spin injection is believed to be lower than that of electrical spin injection. Here, we explore a suitable ferromagnetic metal for an efficient thermal spin injection, via systematic experiments based on diffusive spin transport under temperature gradients. Since a ferromagnetic metal with strong spin splitting is expected to have a large spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient, a lateral spin valve based on CoFe electrodes has been fabricated. However, the superior thermal spin injection property has not been observed, because the CoFe electrode retained its crystalline signature-where s-like electrons dominate the transport property in the ferromagnet. To suppress the crystalline signature, we adopt a CoFeAl electrode, in which the Al impurity significantly reduces the contribution from s-like electrons. Highly efficient thermal spin injection has been demonstrated using this CoFeAl electrode. Further optimization for thermal spin injection has been demonstrated by adjusting the Co and Fe composition.

    We demonstrate that the background signal in the nonlocal spin-valve measurement can be sufficiently suppressed by optimizing the electrode design of the lateral spin valve. A relatively long length scale of heat propagation produces spin-independent thermoelectric signals under the combination of the Peltier and Seebeck effects. These unfavorable signals can be reduced by mixing the Peltier effects in two transparent ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic junctions. Proper understanding of the contribution from the heat current in no spin-current area is a key for effective reduction of the spin-independent background signal.

    We demonstrate that the background signal in the nonlocal spin-valve measurement can be sufficiently suppressed by optimizing the electrode design of the lateral spin valve. A relatively long length scale of heat propagation produces spin-independent thermoelectric signals under the combination of the Peltier and Seebeck effects. These unfavorable signals can be reduced by mixing the Peltier effects in two transparent ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic junctions. Proper understanding of the contribution from the heat current in no spin-current area is a key for effective reduction of the spin-independent background signal.

    Electrical and thermal spin currents excited by an electric current have been systematically investigated in lateral spin valves consisting of CoFeAl and Ni80Fe20 (Py) wires bridged by a Cu strip. In the electrical spin signal, the reciprocity between the current and voltage probes was clearly confirmed. However, a significant nonreciprocity was observed in the thermal spin signal. This provides clear evidence that a large spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient is more important than the spin polarization for efficient thermal spin injection and detection. We demonstrate that the spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient can be simply evaluated from the thermal spin signals for two configurations. Our experimental description paves a way for evaluating a small spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient for conventional ferromagnets without using complicated parameters.

    We have investigated the absorption property of the diffusive pure spin current due to a ferromagnetic nanodot in a laterally configured ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic hybrid nanostructure. The spin absorption in a nano-pillar-based lateral-spin-valve structure was confirmed to increase with increasing the lateral dimension of the ferromagnetic dot. However, the absorption efficiency was smaller than that in a conventional lateral spin valve based on nanowire junctions because the large effective cross section of the two dimensional nonmagnetic film reduces the spin absorption selectivity. We also found that the absorption efficiency of the spin current is significantly enhanced by using a thick ferromagnetic nanodot. This can be understood by taking into account the spin absorption through the side surface of the ferromagnetic dot quantitatively.

    We have investigated the influence of the injection of a large pure spin current on a magnetization process of a non-locally located ferromagnetic dot in nano-pillar-based lateral spin valves. Here, we prepared two kinds of the nano-pillar-type lateral spin valve based on Py nanodots and CoFeAl nanodots fabricated on a Cu film. In the Py/Cu lateral spin valve, although any significant change of the magnetization process of the Py nanodot has not been observed at room temperature. The magnetization reversal process is found to be modified by injecting a large pure spin current at 77 K. Switching the magnetization by the nonlocal spin injection has also been demonstrated at 77 K. In the CoFeAl/Cu lateral spin valve, a room temperature spin valve signal was strongly enhanced from the Py/Cu lateral spin valve because of the highly spin-polarized CoFeAl electrodes. The room temperature nonlocal switching has been demonstrated in the CoFeAl/Cu lateral spin valve.

    We have investigated the transport properties of electrically and thermally excited spin currents in a lateral spin valve consisting of a spin injector and detector with a middle ferromagnetic wire by detecting the first- and second-harmonic voltages. The first-harmonic spin signal was significantly suppressed by the middle ferromagnetic wire because of the spin absorption effect. On the other hand, in the second-harmonic signal, a small signal related to the middle ferromagnetic wire was observed in addition to a conventional spin signal with a reduced magnitude. This indicates that the additional ferromagnetic wire acts not only as the spin absorber but also as another spin injector under thermal spin injection, because the heat current caused by direct spin injection propagates to the middle ferromagnetic wire and creates another temperature gradient. By using this effect, we show that the magnetization direction of a ferromagnetic nanodot embedded in a nonmagnetic Cu wire becomes measurable.

    The resonant property of the magnetic vortex confined in a square-shaped ferromagnetic dot has been investigated. We showed that the field dependence of the resonant frequency has a unique directional dependence originating from a four-fold rotational symmetry of the square. The resonant frequency is found to be strongly modulated by the magnetic field along the diagonal direction although the magnetic field applied along the side of the square hardly modified the resonant frequency. The modulation ratio of the resonant frequency defined by the ratio between minimum and maximum frequencies for the vortex resonance was found to be tuned by the lateral dimension of the square. These unique frequency tunabilities controlled by the magnitude and the direction of the magnetic field may provide additional functions in the application of the magnetic vortex systems.

    Conventional electronic devices have been based on semiconductor transistor technology, in which electron charge is controlled by electrical means. Since the emergence of the integrated circuit concept for semiconductor devices, device performance has significantly advanced via large-scale integration with the miniaturization of transistors. However, these devices are not energy efficient because of their substantial Joule heat generation and volatile characteristics. In addition, owing to recent development of top-down nanofabrication technology, device dimensions are close to the intrinsic physical scalability limits within a few-nanometer range. To overcome these serious obstacles, innovative materials, device structures, and operational principles have been recently demonstrated. In this chapter, future prospects of next-generation nanoelectronics with low power consumption are discussed with consideration of the aforementioned proposals.

    We have developed a fabrication process for a laterally configured resistive switching device based on a Gd oxide. A nano-gap electrode connected by a Gd oxide with the ideal interfaces has been created by adapting the electro-migration method in a metal/GdOx bilayer system. Bipolar set and reset operations have been clearly observed in the Pt/GdOx system similarly in the vertical device based on GdOx. Interestingly, we were able to observe a clear bipolar switching also in a ferromagnetic CoFeB nano-gap electrode with better stability compared to the Pt/GdOx device. The superior performance of the CoFeB/GdOx device implies the importance of the spin on the resistive switching.

We have investigated the stability for the resonant spin precession under the strong microwave magnetic field by a specially developed detection method using the anisotropic magnetoresistance effect. The electrically separated excitation and detection circuits enable us to investigate the influence of the heating effect and the nonuniform spin dynamics independently. The large detecting current is found to induce the field shift of the resonant spectra because of the Joule heating. From the microwave power dependence, we found that the linear response regime for the standing spin wave is larger than that for the ferromagnetic resonance. This robust characteristic of the standing spin wave is an important advantage for the high power operation of the spin-wave device.

    Understanding and manipulating the dynamic properties of the magnetic vortices stabilized in patterned ferromagnetic structures are of great interest owing to the superior resonant features with the high thermal stability and their flexible tunability. So far, numerous methods for investigating the dynamic properties of the magnetic vortex have been proposed and demonstrated. However, those techniques have some regulations such as spatial resolution, experimental facility and sensitivity. Here, we develop a simple and sensitive method for investigating the vortex-core dynamics by using the electrically separated excitation and detection circuits. We demonstrate that the resonant oscillation of the magnetic vortex induced by the amplitude-modulated alternating-sign magnetic field is efficiently picked up by the lock-in detection with the modulated frequency. By extending this method, we also investigate the size dependence and the influence of the magneto-static interaction in the resonant property of the magnetic vortex.

    A sensitive and reliable detection method for magnetic vortex core dynamics at the remanent state has been demonstrated. Perfectly symmetric potential created in a circular-shaped disk produces twofold symmetry in the position dependence of the resistance of the ferromagnetic disk. We find that the detectable second-harmonic voltage can be induced by flowing the dc current when the circular-shaped core oscillation is excited by the microwave magnetic field. The consistent features have been observed in the current dependence and field dependence of the signals, indicating that the present method is a powerful technique to characterize the core dynamics, even at the remanent state.

    We demonstrate the injection and detection of electrically and thermally generated spin currents probed in Co2MnSi/Cu lateral spin valves. Devices with different electrode separations are patterned to measure the non-local signal as a function of the electrode spacing and we determine a relatively high effective spin polarization α of Co2MnSi to be 0.63 and the spin diffusion length of Cu to be 500 nm at room temperature. The electrically generated non-local signal is measured as a function of temperature and a maximum signal is observed for a temperature of 80 K. The thermally generated non-local signal is measured as a function of current density and temperature in a second harmonic measurement detection scheme. We find different temperature dependences for the electrically and thermally generated non-local signals, which allows us to conclude that the temperature dependence of the signals is not just dominated by the transport in the Cu wire, but there is a crucial contribution from the different generation mechanisms, which has been largely disregarded till date.

    © 2015 IEEE. The resonant precession of the magnetizations such as the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and spin wave (SW) excitation is unique and attractive property of the ferromagnetic thin film for future applications in nano-electric and telecommunication devices. Especially, after establishing the concept of the spin current, the considerable attention has been paid to such spin dynamics. Moreover, the oscillation amplitude in such resonant spin motion is found to show the nonlinear responses under the high power excitation. These fascinating properties may open novel functional spintronic devices such as spin current amplifier and neuromophic operation. However, experimental difficulties and complicated spatial spin distribution make it difficult to understand the related phenomena deeply. In this presentation, we show that nonlinear responses for the FMR and the surface SW in a Permalloy strip can be simply excited by the application of non-uniform RF magnetic field with high amplitude.

    © 2015 IEEE. Dynamical spin injection is attractive mean for generating and controlling the spin current without the use of the electricity. So far, the mechanism of the dynamical spin injection is attributed to the spin pumping induced by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Although its quantitative evaluation is not simple because of the coexistence of the dc and ac spin pumping currents, the experimental results related to the spin pumping are mainly analyzed only by focusing on the dc spin current. Since the magnitude of the ac spin current is much larger than that of the dc spin current, the consideration of the ac spin current may be important. Apart from the spin pumping, another driving mechanism for the dynamical spin injection, we are interested in the heating effect during the resonant precession. When the temperature gradient exists across the ferromagnet/ nonmagnet interface, the spin current is generated through the thermal spin injection (spin-dependent Seebeck effect)[1,2]. In this presentation, we develop the evaluation method of the FMR heating effect for the micro- or nano-sized ferromagnet and investigate the influence of the dynamical spin injection on the magnetization dynamics.

    The manipulation of spin current is a central issue in the operation of spintronic devices because the spin current plays key role both in spin-dependent transports and spin-transfer switching. Recently, a heat utilization for creating the spin current has been paid considerable attention, leading to an emerging field, spin caloritronics. One of the representative phenomena is thermal spin injection, in which excess heat can be used to produce the spin current because of the spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient [1]. However, the generation efficiency of the thermally excited spin current was quite low because of the low spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient of conventional ferromagnetic metals. The Seebeck coefficient is strongly correlated to the band structure around the Fermi level, and, under the simple approximation in metals, the coefficient is known to be proportional to the energy derivative of the logarithmic density of state (DOS) at the Fermi level. In a ferromagnetic material, since the DOS shows different features between the up and down spins, one can separately consider the moving directions of the up-spin electrons and the down-spin electrons. Therefore, in the ferromagnetic material with a large difference in the DOS between up and down spins, the sign of the Seebeck coefficient for the up-spin electron can be reversed from that for the down-spin electron. In such a situation, the up-spin and down-spin electrons flow in opposite directions, as shown in Fig. 1(a, b). Therefore, the generation efficiency of the spin current due to thermal spin injection is significantly enhanced by the large spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient.

Most of studies on the magnetic vortex have been carried out by using circular-shaped ferromagnetic disk. So far, we have investigated the magnetic vortex confined in a triangular ferromagnetic dot and found some feature shown on triangular ferromagnetic dot such as the chirality of the vortex in the regular triangle can be controlled by the direction of the initialized in-plane magnetic field [1] and the resonant frequency of the vortex-core gyration motion in the triangular dot is higher than the circular one. In addition, we here report that the dynamics properties of vortex core is reconfigurable in a polygonal ferromagnetic dot due to its anisotropic shape.

    Metal-insulator transition (MIT) induced by the electric field has been intensively investigated owing to its potential for nano-sized resistance switching devices in the next generation as well as its simple device structure. Although the MIT has been reported in various oxides such as Mn oxide1), Gd oxide2), and Co-doped Ti oxide3), the microscopic origin of the phase transition is still controversial issue. It should be noted that some of the oxides showing the MIT include magnetic components, implying that the MIT is related to the transition of the spin state. To explore the correlation between the MIT and spin configuration, in the present study, we investigate the influence of the ferromagnetic electrode on the MIT.

    Resistive switching device consisting of metallic oxide layer sandwiched by the metallic electrodes has paid considerable attention to next-generation nano-electronic devices. Two major mechanisms; filament-type and interface-type, are known for the transition between the low-resistive and high-resistive states. In both mechanism, the low voltage operation is the common issue for the reliable and low-power consumption operations. From this view point, the devices, in general, consist of vertical stuck structure with the thin oxide layer. If one obtains the resistive switching operation in the laterally configured structure, we may obtain more flexible and functional device. It also should be noted that most of the metallic oxides showing the resistive switching include magnetic components1∼3). This implies that the resistance switching is related to the spin configuration in the metallic oxide. For these purpose, in the present study, we develop a novel method for the fabrication of the switching devices in lateral configuration and investigate the influence of the ferromagnetic electrode and spin orientation on the switching property.

    Dynamical spin injection is attractive mean for generating and controlling the spin current without the use of the electricity. So far, the mechanism of the dynamical spin injection is attributed to the spin pumping induced by the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Although its quantitative evaluation is not simple because of the coexistence of the dc and ac spin pumping currents, the experimental results related to the spin pumping are mainly analyzed only by focusing on the dc spin current. Since the magnitude of the ac spin current is much larger than that of the dc spin current, the consideration of the ac spin current may be important. Apart from the spin pumping, another driving mechanism for the dynamical spin injection, we are interested in the heating effect during the resonant precession. When the temperature gradient exists across the ferromagnet/ nonmagnet interface, the spin current is generated through the thermal spin injection (spin-dependent Seebeck effect)[1,2]. In this presentation, we develop the evaluation method of the FMR heating effect for the micro- or nano-sized ferromagnet and investigate the influence of the dynamical spin injection on the magnetization dynamics.

    We report real-time detection of hydrogen (H) absorption in metallic palladium (Pd) nano-contacts immersed in liquid H2 using inelastic electron spectroscopy (IES). After introduction of liquid H2, the spectra exhibit the time evolution from the pure Pd to the Pd hydride, indicating that H atoms are absorbed in Pd nano-contacts even at the temperature where the thermal process is not expected. The IES time and bias voltage dependences show that H absorption develops by applying bias voltage 30 ∼ 50 mV, which can be explained by quantum tunneling. The results represent that IES is a powerful method to study the kinetics of high density H on solid surface.

    Efficient generation and detection of the spin current is a crucial issue for the application of spintronic devices. In addition, integrating spintronic circuit with conventional semiconductor devices is another important milestone for the practical application of the spin devices. Recently, the interplay between the heat and spin has attracted great attention because the temperature gradient is found to generate the spin current [1]. Since the heat can generate and propagate without electricity, this novel approach using the heat may open a new avenue for simplifying integration of spin devices. The precise estimation of the spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient (Ss), which is one of the important factors for the efficient generation of the thermal spin current, is indispensable to develop and optimize the spin device structure using the heat. However, it is still a hard nut to crack for the conventional ferromagnet because of its small magnitude and tiny related spin signal. Moreover, the related spin signal is smeared out by the spurious signals induced by classical thermoelectric effects especially at room temperature. Recently, we have shown that both the electrically and thermally driven spin injection efficiencies have been dramatically enhanced by the CoFeAl electrodes because of the excellent property for the thermal spin injection and electrical spin detection of CoFeAl [2]. In this presentation, by using the excellent CoFeAl, we develop the precise evaluation method for the thermal spin injection properties of Permalloy (Py)/Cu hybrid in lateral spin valve structure.

    Generation of large spin current is an important issue in the operation of spintronic devices because the spin current plays a key role in spin-dependent transports and spin-transfer switching. Recently, a heat flow across a ferromagnet (FM) / nonmagnet (NM) junction is found to be able to generate and propagate the spin current. We have found that the large spin current is efficiently produced by using a heat flow across the CoFeAl /Cu junction because of the relatively large spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient for CoFeAl. The generated spin current is, in general, detected as the electrical voltage by using another ferromagnetic electrode. Using the nonlocal electrical detection scheme, one can prevent the background signal due to the spin-independent charge current. However, in the case of the thermal spin injection, the heat current reaches at the nonlocal ferromagnetic electrode and produces classical thermoelectric effects such as anomalous Nernst effect. Such spurious signals becomes serious obstacle when the large spin current is generated by the thermal spin injection. Therefore, the optimization of the device structure is indispensable for the ideal generation of the spin current using the heat. Here, we explore better geometry for generating the thermally excited spin signal in a laterally configured FM/NM hybrid nanostructure.

    We have investigated the dc bias current dependence of the nonlocal spin valve signal in CoFeAl/Cu lateral spin valves. The spin signal is found to increase monotonically with the bias current. Surprisingly, the modulation amplitude from -1 mA to 1 mA exceeds 30 percent of the spin signal at low bias current. From the analysis based on the one-dimensional spin diffusion model and considering the bias-current heating effect, we find that the contribution of the thermal spin injection is much larger than the influence of the reduction of the spin diffusion length due to the Joule heating. We also show that the second harmonic lock-in signal precisely extracts the contribution of the thermal spin injection from the mixed spin signal.

    The combination between the spin-dependent and super-conducting (SC) transports is expected to provide intriguing properties such as crossed Andreev reflection and spin-triplet superconductivity. This may be able to open a new avenue in the field of spintronics, namely superconducting spintronics because a superconductor itself has great potential for future nanoelectronic applications. To observe such SC spin transports, the suppression of the extrinsic effects originating from the heating and Oersted field due to the electric current is a crucial role. Pure spin current without accompanying the charge current is known as a powerful mean for preventing such extrinsic effects. However, non-negligible heat flow is found to exist even in a conventional pure spin current device based on laterally-configured spin valve because of the heating around the spin injector. Here, we develop a nanopillar-based lateral spin valve, which significantly reduces the heat generation, on a superconducting Nb film. By using this ideal platform, we found that the spin absorption is strongly suppressed by the SC transition of Nb. This demonstration is the clear evidence that the super-conducting Nb is an insulator for the pure spin current.

    Nanoelectronic devices based on electron spin can overcome the physical limitations of the present semiconductor technology because of their low power consumption while exploiting the spin degree of freedom of electrons. Although enhancing the efficiency of generation of the spin current is imperative and a primary issue for the practical application of spin-based electronics, seamless device integration with the conventional complementary metal-oxide semiconductor technology is another important milestone for developing spin-based nanoelectronics. In particular, the preparation of nanosized, magnetic, multilayered structures with electrical connections to individual complementary metal-oxide semiconductor circuits significantly complicates the fabrication procedure of nanoelectronic devices. Thermal spin injection, which is a recently discovered unique characteristic of spin current, may be an innovative method for simplifying device integration without the need for electricity, namely wireless spintronics. However, the feasibility of using the thermal spin injection method is poor because of its extremely low-generation efficiency. Here, we demonstrate that a highly spin-polarized, ferromagnetic CoFeAl electrode with a favorable band structure has excellent properties for thermal spin injection. The spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient is approximately 70 mu VK-1, which facilitates highly efficient generation of the spin current from heat. The heat generates approximately 100 times more spin voltage than a conventional ferromagnetic injector at room temperature. This innovative demonstration may open a new route for spin-device integration and its applications.

    We demonstrated that the anisotropic magneto-resistance of a ferromagnetic micro-disk measured by the asymmetrically configured electrodes provide the information of the vortex chirality. The large difference of the electrical resistivity between the ferromagnetic disk and the nonmagnetic electrodes creates an inhomogeneous current distribution, allowing us to detect the local domain structure. By focusing on the chirality-dependent magneto-resistance change due to the vortex nucleation, we can clearly detect the vortex nucleation position, leading to the chirality determination. The reliability of the developed detection method has been confirmed by the magneto-resistance measurement with symmetrically configured electrodes.

    A magnetic vortex structure stabilized in a micron or nano-sized ferromagnetic disk has a strong potential as a unit cell for spin-based nano-electronic devices because of negligible magnetostatic interaction and superior thermal stability. Moreover, various intriguing fundamental physics such as bloch point reversal and symmetry breaking can be induced in the dynamical behaviors in the magnetic vortex. The static and dynamic properties of the magnetic vortex can be tuned by the disk dimension and/or the separation distance between the disks. However, to realize these modifications, the preparations of other devices with different sample geometries are required. Here, we experimentally demonstrate that, in a regular-triangle Permalloy dot, the dynamic properties of a magnetic vortex are greatly modified by the application of the in-plane magnetic field. The obtained wide range tunability based on the asymmetric position dependence of the core potential provides attractive performances in the microwave spintronic devices.

    We show that the junction design in the laterally configured ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic (FM/NM) hybrid structure significantly affects the spin transport under high-bias current. The thermal conductivity mismatch between FM and NM and the inhomogeneous current distribution at the interface produce a reversed temperature gradient, which drastically reduces the thermal spin injection efficiency. The homogeneity in the temperature gradient at the interface is a crucial factor in determining the efficiency of the thermal spin current generation. The experimental results show excellent agreement with the theoretical model that the spin relaxation is proportional to the second spatial derivative of the temperature.

    We show that the difference in the Seebeck coefficients between two voltage probes produces an additional electric signal in the local resistance measurement of the submicron-sized junction. This is because the temperature increase at the junction induced by the Joule heating produces unnegligible Seebeck voltage in addition to the Ohmic voltage. In nanostructured systems, since the temperature variation becomes quite high under the high-bias current, the Seebeck voltage dominates the detected electrical voltage. This provides a consistent description for unusual bias-current dependences of the differential resistance in nano-sized metallic junction systems.

    We have investigated a magnetization process of a permalloy nanowire by using a ballistic micro-Hall sensor consisting of GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron gas. Although a conventional bi-stable hysteresis loop with a rectangular shape was observed in the Hall resistance measurement, unexpected extra resistance changes were observed in a bend resistance measurement. These unconventional features are quantitatively explained by the magnetic transitions among the meta-stable edge-domain structures in the ferromagnetic wire. The geometrical dependence of these resistance changes and their application possibility for the multiple-valued memory were also discussed.

    We investigated the size effect on ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in a submicron-wide single permalloy bar. The resonant frequency markedly increased with decreasing bar width to less than 1 m, since the demagnetizing field is effectively modified by changing the bar width even in thin films. The resonant frequency difference between 100- and 1000-nm-wide bars was over 4 GHz in the absence of a magnetic field. This characteristic is promising for practical microwave devices because the desired resonant frequency can be obtained simply by varying the width of narrow ferromagnetic bars so that it is not necessary to change the material or magnetic field. © 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

    Pure spin current corresponds to the flow of spin angular momentum without associating any net charge current, and possesses potential to be incorporated in special functional and high-performance devices based on nonlocal spin injection. To utilize pure spin current in practical devices, it is imperative to increase the spin generation efficiency. In this article we discuss two special configurations of nonlocal devices, known as multi-terminal injector and nanopillar devices, which possess immense potential to overcome the Joule heating problem, the key bottleneck to enhance the pure spin current generation. We also demonstrate magnetization switching of a nanosized ferromagnet due to pure spin current injection in a nanopillar-based nonlocal device.

From the systematic studies on the bias current and the field-direction dependencies of the nonlocal signals, the origin of the asymmetry is understood as the anomalous Nernst-Ettingshausen effect driven by the bias current. The bias current dependencies of the spin accumulation signal and the background resistance are also well explained by the thermal effects induced by the bias current.

    A magnetic resonator consisting of periodical nonmagnetic electrodes on a ferromagnetic metallic film has been fabricated. We demonstrated that the resonator efficiently excites the standing magneto-static surface spin wave with the specific wavelength, which can be controlled by the interval of the periodical electrode. The operation frequency over 5 GHz was confirmed at the interval of 4 μ m under a small bias magnetic field less than 100 Oe. The optimization of the electrode pattern for the efficient detection of the standing spin wave was also demonstrated.

    So far, we have demonstrated markedly high spin polarizations (similar to 0.8) in one of the L2(1)-ordered Heusler compounds, Co2FeSi (CFS), by detecting pure spin currents using nonlocal spin-valve measurements. Here, we experimentally determine the sign of the spin polarization in the L2(1)-ordered CFS using the electrical spin Hall effect (SHE) measurements in a lateral device with Pt. Inverse SHE signals with a positive-sign hysteresis loop are clearly detected at 20 K. Since the spin Hall conductivity of Pt is the positive sign, the pure spin current generated by the CFS electrode with L2(1)-ordered structures has positive spin polarization. The SHE measurement is a powerful tool to determine the sign of the spin polarization in unknown spin injectors.

    Deciphering the intrinsic magnetic domain-wall (DW) resistivity of manganite materials by typical low-field magnetoresistance measurement is flawed due to the addition of different galvanomagnetic effects such as, colossal magnetoresistance, Lorentz force magnetoresistance, and anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR). In this paper, by taking the advantage of rotational anisotropy and the stable rotation of the DW planes in half-metallic manganite La 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3 film, we deploy a remanent state resistance measurement technique to exclude all the field-dependent spurious effects from the intrinsic DW resistivity. To further refine its magnitude, we calculate the remanent state DW AMR by exploiting the three-dimensional micromagnetic simulation, which reveals a comparable but opposite contribution to the positive DW resistivity. From these results, we estimate the intrinsic DW resistance-area product in La 0.7Sr 0.3MnO 3 to be 1.9×10 -15Ω•m2.

    The static and dynamic magnetization properties in an exchange-coupled NiFe/FeMn/Cu trilayer system have been investigated. Although a clear loop shift was observed in the magnetization versus field curve, the magnitude of the exchange bias does not show a systematic dependence on the Cu thickness. On the other hand, from the ferromagnetic resonance measurements, the exchange bias is found to increase with increasing the Cu thickness. This result indicates that the resonant frequency can be controlled by the Cu thickness. The correlation between the coercivity and the damping constant is also discussed.

    The magnetization dynamics of a pair of the magneto-statically coupled spin torque nano oscillators (STNOs) have been investigated by using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation with a macro-spin approximation. First, we simulated the deterministic dynamics of the coupled STNOs. Numerical simulations show that the dipole coupling mediates in-phase or out-of-phase synchronization states in the pair of the STNOs. Moreover, we found that a bistable state consisting of both in-phase and out-of phase synchronization states can exist by adjusting the experimental parameters. Second, we simulated the stochastic dynamics of the coupled STNOs under common noisy current injection. It is found that the noisy current injection into the STNOs induces to chastic state transition from the out-of-phase synchronization state to the in-phase. Such state transition arises from the cooperative effects between the noise-induced synchronization and the magneto static interactions.

    Spin absorption effects for the longitudinal and transverse spin currents in a Permalloy nanowire have been examined by using a lateral spin valve consisting of a V-shaped ferromagnetic injector and detector. The reduction of the nonlocal spin signal due to spin absorption for the transverse spin current was found to be stronger than that for the longitudinal spin current. This result is quantitatively explained by considering the angular dependence of the effective spin polarization, and the fact that the transverse spin relaxation length is less than half that of the longitudinal spin relaxation.

    We measured the magnetoresistance (MR) of Pd nanometer-scale constrictions while changing the constriction size by stretching the Pd wire using a mechanically controllable break junction technique. In large constrictions, the resistance is constant for | H | 400 Oe, reflecting bulk Pd paramagnetic properties. As size decreases to ∼10 nm, the MR effect with hysteresis is observed with a sweeping field, indicating the ferromagnetic transition in Pd constrictions. We proposed this technique to detect ferromagnetic transitions caused by downsizing in paramagnetic metals and to study magnetic properties after the transitions.

    We study the electrical conductance in a ferromagnetic Ni constriction, changing its size using a mechanically controllable break junction technique. A Fano resonance with a zero-bias anomaly, likely due to the Kondo effect, appears in Ni atomic-scale contacts and changes shape as the size of the contact changes. Moreover, the zero-bias anomaly persists in large size constrictions with nearly 50-atom configurations where the bulk ferromagnetic properties should be retained, despite the decrease of the signal intensity. The results suggest that the Kondo effect and ferromagnetism could coexist in the ferromagnetic nanoconstrictions.

A molecular beam epitaxy technique enables us to obtain Heusler-alloy-like CoFeAl epitaxial layers with an ordered B2 structure. The LSVs with the CoFeAl electrodes show a remarkable enhancement of the nonlocal spin signals, six times larger than that of the LSV with the CoFe electrodes, at room temperature. The relatively low electrical resistivity of the CoFeAl electrodes means that the enhancement of the spin signals originates from an increase in the spin polarization due to the Al addition to CoFe.

The relatively low electrical resistivity of the CoFeAl electrodes means that the enhancement of the spin signals originates from an increase in the spin polarization due to the Al addition to CoFe.

    Two advantages of the lateral spin valve using multi-terminal spin injections have been demonstrated. First, the effective spin polarization for the pure spin current can be controlled by the two anti-parallely aligned spin injectors. We show that the magnitude and the sign of the spin polarization are electrically manipulated by adjusting the current ratio between two injectors. Secondly, we show that the giant pure spin current can be generated by the nonlolcal spin injections from the quadruple spin injectors.

    We have numerically studied the stochastic magnetization dynamics of a pair of spin torque nano oscillators (STNOs) under noisy current injection by using the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert-Slonczewski (LLGS) equation with a macro-spin approximation. Common noisy current injection into both STNOs is found to induce the phase synchronizations, where two STNOs show in-phase or anti-phase locked precession depending on the sequences of Gaussian white noise. The noise-induced synchronization could be a possible application for controlling the output power in the array of the STNOs. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3680537]

Despite the strong magneto-static interaction in the chain array of the dots, each triangle dot takes a single vortex structure. The chirality of each dot is found to behave similarly to that for the isolated triangle dot.

    The time evolution of vortex spin structures in ferromagnetic FeNi disks (4 μm and 6 μm in diameter and thickness of 30 nm) during fast magnetic field pulses was observed by time-resolved x-ray magnetic circular dichroism with photoelectron emission microscopy. For the smaller disk, the displacement of the vortex core was found to linearly follow the field amplitude as described by an analytical model based on Thiele's equation with boundary conditions for patterned magnets. In contrast, for the larger disk which contains a smaller magnetic restoring force, a nonlinear response of the core displacement to the field amplitude, and also a sub-ns delay of the core motion, was observed. In parallel a deformation of the vortex spin structure was observed. Part of the Zeeman energy is stored in deforming the vortex structure during the rise time of the magnetic field with a large ΔH/Δt.

The magnitude of the nonlocal spin-valve signals is strongly affected by resistivity variations observed particularly in low-temperature-grown Heusler compounds containing ordered structures. From an analysis based on a one-dimensional spin diffusion model, we find that the spin polarization monotonically increases with decreasing resistivity, which depends on the structural ordering, for both the CFS and FS electrodes, and show that CFS has a larger spin polarization than FS. © 2012 American Physical Society.

    The generation, manipulation and detection of a pure spin current (i.e., the flow of spin angular momentum without a charge current) are prospective approaches for realizing next-generation spintronic devices with ultra-low electric power consumption. Conventional ferromagnetic electrodes such as Co and NiFe have been utilized as spin injectors to generate pure spin currents in nonmagnetic channels. However, the generation efficiency of pure spin currents is extremely low at room temperature, giving rise to a serious obstacle for device applications. Here we demonstrate the generation of giant pure spin currents at room temperature in lateral spin valve devices with a highly ordered Heusler-compound Co2FeSi (CFS) spin injector. The generation efficiency of pure spin currents from the CFS spin injectors is 10 times greater than that of the NiFe injectors, indicating that Heusler compound spin injectors with high spin polarization enable us to materialize a high-performance lateral spin device. The present study is a technological jump in spintronics, and indicates the great potential of ferromagnetic Heusler compounds with half metallicity for generating pure spin currents.

The desired vortex chirality has been obtained when the injecting DC current has a moderate magnitude. However, the large DC current is found to reduce the control reliability.

We also found that the Gd acts as a strong absorber both for the ac and dc pure spin currents from the ferromagnetic resonance and nonlocal spin injection experiments.

    The transport properties of diffusive spin currents have been investigated in lateral ferromagnetic/non-magnetic metal hybrid structures. The spin diffusion processes were found to be strongly dependent on the magnitude of the spin resistances of connected materials. Efficient spin injection and detection are accomplished by optimizing the junction structures on the basis of the spin resistance circuitry. The magnetization switching of a nanoscale ferromagnetic particle and also room temperature spin Hall effect measurements were realized by using an efficient pure-spin-current injection.

    We report on the fabrication of metallic lateral spin valves using different evaporation directions for respective ferromagnetic and nonmagnetic materials. In this way, we can fabricate and connect different nanowires through the same resist mask in a single evaporation sequence, avoiding interface contamination. With this technique and by reducing the wire widths down to 50 nm, we obtained spin signals as large as 24mω at 77 K in devices with transparent interfaces. We studied the influence of the nonmagnetic metal. Spin signals are found to be much larger for Al and Cu than for Au-based devices.

    We here experimentally demonstrate that gyration modes of coupled vortices can be resonantly excited primarily by the ac current in a pair of ferromagnetic disks with variable separation. The sole gyration mode clearly splits into higher and lower frequency modes via dipolar interaction, where the main mode splitting is due to a chirality sensitive phase difference in gyrations of the coupled vortices, whereas the magnitude of the splitting is determined by their polarity configuration. These experimental results show that the coupled pair of vortices behaves similar to a diatomic molecule with bonding and antibonding states, implying a possibility for designing the magnonic band structure in a chain or an array of magnetic vortex oscillators.

Thereby nonlocal spin valve measurements enable us to evaluate their spin Hall conductivities. The sign of the spin Hall conductivity changes systematically depending on the number of d electrons. This tendency is in good agreement with the recent theoretical calculation based on the intrinsic spin Hall effect.

    The dynamics of magnetostatically coupled vortices in a pair of ferromagnetic micron-sized disks has been observed in real space by pump-probe time-resolved photoemission electron microscopy. It is found that the dynamics of paired vortices is affected by a magnetic dipolar interaction. The displacement of a vortex core from its equilibrium position in the paired vortices during the supply of a magnetic field pulse is smaller than that in the isolated vortex, which is in qualitative agreement with micromagnetic simulation results. Unexpectedly, two eigenfrequencies of the paired vortices are different from each other. When the separation distance between the paired disks is shorter, the difference between the two eigenfrequencies is larger.

    We microscopically investigate the magnetic domain wall motion induced by current pulse application in a small in-plane magnetic field in U-shaped Permalloy wires by means of Lorentz microscopy together with simultaneous transport measurement. An in-plane magnetic field less than 7 Oe parallel to the wire direction in U-shaped geometry effectively works to impede bidirectional motion of the domain wall induced by current pulse application, i.e. to suppress the stochastic nature of the domain wall displacement. The present finding will provide practical and reliable ways of controlling and manipulating the domain wall dynamics, which are widely applicable in spintronic devices, especially when stochastic nature causes serious problems in device operation. Reliable manipulation of the magnetic state is discussed using the current-driven domain wall motion and domain nucleation in the magnetic wire device.

    We have fabricated multi-terminal superconductor/normal metal/superconductor junctions comprising superconductor Nb and normal metal Cu. By means of the local and non-local measurements of the junction, we successfully detected the non-existence of a bias current in the Cu wire and the non-local voltage. These results indicate that the current flowing non-locally over the junction is due to the proximity effects and the conversion of the supercurrent and normal current.

    The authors have proposed a control method of the magnetic vortex chirality in regular polygonal nanomagnets with an odd number of sides. The asymmetric nucleation energy of the vortex from the uniformly magnetized state enables us to simply control the vortex chirality by an in-plane magnetic field. The reliability of the proposed method has been numerically and experimentally confirmed in the triangle, pentagonal, heptagonal, and nonagonal Permalloy nanomagnets. The authors also confirmed that the vortex chirality is uncontrollable when the number of the side is even.

    We present the experimental observation of gyration mode splitting by the time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect in an array consisting of magnetostatically coupled Ni81Fe19 discs of 1 μm diameter, 50 nm thickness and inter-disc separations varying between 150 and 270 nm. A splitting of the vortex core gyration mode is observed when the inter-disc separation is 200 nm or less and the splitting is controllable by a bias magnetic field. The observed mode splitting is interpreted by micromagnetic simulations as the normal modes of the vortex cores analogous to the coupled classical oscillators. The splitting depends upon the strength of the inter-disc magnetostatic coupling mediated by magnetic side charges, which depends strongly on the magnetic ground states of the samples.

    We perform a detailed comparison of the nonlocal magnetoresistance (MR) curve with the local MR ones in Si-based lateral spin-valve devices with epitaxial ferromagnetic Fe3Si contacts, where the local MR originates from the anisotropic MR of the ferromagnetic contacts. We find that the nonlocal MR signals clearly depend on the magnetization reversal of the contacts, and they show positive or negative peak values when the magnetic configuration between two ferromagnetic contacts becomes nearly anti-parallel. These features mean that the obtained nonlocal MR signals can be distinguished from the suspicious signals, indicating a reliable result of the spin transport in Si.

    Pure spin current injection into a superconductive Nb was demonstrated experimentally by employing a nonlocal spin absorption technique in a multiterminal lateral structure. From the reduction in spin signals, we found the absorption efficiency remained almost unchanged even after superconducting transition. The Nb/Cu interface properties were also complementarily examined by using a Nb/Cu/Nb junction incorporated in the same device, revealing superconductivity below the transition temperature. These experimental results support that the pure spin current can be absorbed into a superconductive Nb wire with almost the same efficiency as in a normal state.

    In the third- and coming fourth-generation synchrotron radiation facilities, X-rays having both high brightness and high coherency can be utilized. Such X-rays require high accuracy in the reflective optics. In this study, we developed an ultra-precise measurement instrumentation for tangentially long X-ray mirrors using a Fizeau interferometer. In the system, the mirror figure is measured by stitching the subaperture profiles measured by the relative-angle determinable stitching interferometry, which we developed previously. High measurement accuracy of approximately 2 nm (peak to valley) was achieved in the measurement of a 400 mm-long aspherical surface.

    We investigate crystalline structures of a permalloy nanowire subject to current pulses by using standard transmission and scanning electron microscope techniques, together with the analysis of magnetic states by means of Lorenz microscopy. We find that crystalline grains grow slightly larger in a current region around the Curie temperature, which does not affect significantly the uniformly-magnetized state in the wire because of strong uniaxial shape anisotropy given by the wire geometry. When crystalline grains grow large enough to additionally provide in-plane anisotropy comparable to the shape anisotropy by averaging crystalline anisotropy over the grains, the magnetic ripple will be induced in the wire. Such situations can be found in the case when very large current pulses are applied to the wire. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3356229]

    We have proposed a method for controlling the vortex chirality in a regular polygonal nanomagnet with an odd number of sides using an in-plane magnetic field. We confirmed the reliability of the proposed method in the triangle, pentagonal and heptagonal nanomagnets by using micromagnetic simulation. However, when the number of the sides is 9 or more, the chirality does not change systematically because of the insufficient in-plane shape anisotropy. Stabilizations of a single vortex in polygonal nanomagnets with an even number of sides have been also investigated.

    We microscopically investigate the dynamics of magnetic domains and domain walls induced by a current pulse in Permalloy narrow wires by means of Lorentz microscopy and simultaneous transport measurement. A variety of magnetic domain and domain wall dynamics are induced as a function of current density flowing into the wire and wire resistance. Important finding is that observed magnetic domain wall displacement and domain nucleation explicitly exhibit stochastic nature, indicating that the magnetic state in the wire is hardly controlled by using solely the current pulse. However, the application of small in-plane magnetic field changes drastically the nature into deterministic, which effectively improves controllability of the magnetic domain and domain wall dynamics using current.

The magnetoresistance changes were found to depend on the direction of the in-plane magnetic field at low temperature because of the Lorenz magnetoresistance effect. The strong spin current absorption effect into the Gd was also found.

    In this paper, we present the coherent suppression of precessional dynamics in a Ni81Fe19 (permalloy) microwire of 12-μm width and 100-μm length in presence of multiple spin-wave modes. The lateral confinement of the microwire causes spin-wave modes of frequencies very close to each other and local suppression of the modes were experimentally achieved with field pulses of slightly different durations but with the same rise time and fall time. Analysis shows that application of the pulsed field causes a large angle reorientation of the magnetization followed by a precession. The termination of the pulsed field at around 500 ps causes the magnetization to return back to the equilibrium position and to align parallel to the effective field so that the torque on the magnetization vanishes. However, this applies only to localized regions due to the presence of spin-wave modes of slightly different frequencies. Pulses of slight under or overwidth cause the precession to continue at a slightly different frequency suggesting that the spin-wave modes are not truly localized but there are overlapping regions where one mode dominates. When the dominating mode is partially suppressed, the relative amplitude of the modes changes significantly and the overall power spectrum peaks at a slightly different frequency.

Here, we generate a pure spin current in a lateral spin valve while simultaneously sweeping an external magnetic field. We observe changes to the switching properties in accordance with the effective spin torque. We also find that the spin current necessary for magnetization reversal is much lower than that required in the absence of an external field, indicative that the effective potential barrier to be overcome is lowered by the applied magnetic field.

    The spin Hall effect in molybdenum wires has been experimentally investigated by means of spin absorption method using lateral spin valve structure. The spin Hall conductivity of Mo wire is negative and decreases with increasing the resistivity. These tendencies are surprisingly consistent with the recent theoretical calculation based on the intrinsic spin Hall effect. (C) 2009 American Institute of Physics. [DOI: 10.1063/1.3076145]

    We evaluated the magneto-optical properties of spin-valve (SV) stacks with perpendicular magnets comprised of a Gd-Fe (4-30 nm) free layer and a Tb-Fe-Co/CoFe pinned layer, and the spin-transfer switching properties of current-perpendicular-to-plane (CPP) SVs with the perpendicular magnets. The Gd-Fe free layer had polar Kerr rotation θ of 0.12° at a thickness of 10 nm. The θ reduced with a decrease in GdFe thickness and the sign of θ switched from positive to negative at a Gd-Fe thickness of 6 nm or thinner. Coercivity (H ) was maximum and saturation magnetization (M ) was minimum at a thickness of 8 nm. These phenomena may be explained by an inhomogeneous Gd-Fe composition. The CPP spin valves with the Gd-Fe (10 nm) free layer had a magneto-resistance (MR) of 0.038&#37;. The free layer of a CPP SV device was switched by a pulsed current, which exhibited intrinsic switching current densities of J = -3.3 × 10 A/cm and J = 4.3 × 10 A/cm with a thermal stability of 75, which is above the required value of 40. Perpendicular magnets are very useful for obtaining large magneto-optical signals from nano-magnets driven by spin-transfer switching. © 2008 IEEE. k k k c s c0-P-AP c0-AP-P 7 2 7 2

    Laterally configured ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic multiterminal structures have great potential for developing future spintronic devices. We demonstrate two kinds of novel spintronic devices. One is a lateral spin valve with noncollinear dual spin injectors by which the direction of the spin accumulation in a nonmagnetic metal can be changed by varying the currents injected by two spin injectors. The other is a transformer between spin and charge currents using the spin Hall effect. A large spin Hall conductivity of 260 S/cm at room temperature, which is 10(4) times larger than that in semiconductor systems, is found in the Pt wire. We also demonstrate the reciprocal relation between the spin and charge currents. Temperature dependence of the spin Hall conductivity is also discussed.

    We investigate the local magnetization process in a 100-nm-wide Permalloy/CoO exchange-coupled wire by means of nonlocal spin valve measurements for a structure with lateral geometry. The domain structure in the exchange-coupled wire is found to change with the direction of the exchange bias. When the exchange bias is parallel to the easy axis of the Permalloy wire, the magnetization-reversal process can be expressed by the single domain model. However, when the exchange bias is perpendicular to the easy axis, the magnetization reversal is accompanied by domain nucleation and annihilation processes even in the lateral dimension of 100 nm. The reason for the dependence of the domain structure on the direction of the exchange bias is discussed. (c) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

    We have investigated dynamics of paired domain walls in a microfabricated ferromagnetic ring by using a ballistic transport character of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) microcross. The stray field from the domain walls results in a change in the bend resistance of the 2DEG cross lying beneath the ferromagnetic ring depending on the positions of the domain walls. The measurements for different directional angles of the applied magnetic field reveal that the domain wall behavior is strongly affected by identical local defects in the ring. We have also studied a response of paired domain walls under a pulsed magnetic field. We find that the paired domain walls switch the positions without annihilation under a pulsed magnetic field with a short rise time. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The superconductive properties of the Nb wires were remarkably improved by employing highly plasma resistant electron-beam resist ZEP520A combined with a thin Ti passivation layer. This optimized fabrication process yielded a 300-nm-wide Nb wire with the same transition temperature as that of the reference Nb film. Thereby, a highly transparent Nb/Cu junction was successfully fabricated. (c) 2008 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

    Temperature dependence of spin relaxation process in a Cu wire has been studied by means of nonlocal spin-valve measurements. The spin-diffusion length of the Cu wire is found to take maximum at the characteristic temperature, below which the spin-diffusion length is reduced. The mechanism of the reduction can be explained by considering the spin-flip scattering due to the oxidized surface of the Cu wire. The thickness dependence of the characteristic temperature supports the interpretation with the surface oxidation.

    We microscopically demonstrate that the magnetic domain is controllably nucleated and erased in the uniformly magnetized wire using a current pulse in small magnetic fields. Lorentz microscopy is performed in Permalloy nanowires with in-plane anisotropy. The stochastic nature of the magnetization reversal due to spin wave and thermal excitations in the absence of magnetic field completely disappears and turns into deterministic in the presence of small magnetic field, which enables the magnetization reversal control. We interpret that the phenomena are associated with Zeeman energy stabilization. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.

    We have studied the evolution of the spin Hall effect (SHE) in the regime where the material size responsible for the spin accumulation is either smaller or larger than the spin diffusion length. Lateral spin valve structures with Pt insertions were successfully used to measure the spin absorption efficiency as well as the spin accumulation in Pt induced through the spin Hall effect. Under a constant applied current the results show a decrease of the spin accumulation signal is more pronounced as the Pt thickness exceeds the spin diffusion length. This implies that the spin accumulation originates from bulk scattering inside the Pt wire and the spin diffusion length limits the SHE. We have also analyzed the temperature variation of the spin Hall conductivity to identify the dominant scattering mechanism.

The experimental results suggest the existence of a metastable domain wall structure revealed by the micromagnetics simulation. The technologically important vortex-vortex switching is found dominated by the annular Oersted field of perpendicularly injected dc, but also significantly affected by the spin-transfer torque. The efficiency of the spin-transfer torque and the switching process are discussed.

    A large spin accumulation due to the electrical spin injection has been observed in Permalloy-silver lateral spin-valve structures. The observed resistance change is the largest among the reported metallic lateral spin valves with Ohmic junctions. The spin-diffusion length deduced from the experimental results is also found to be the longest among the normal metals reported so far. All the results can be quantitatively explained by the common spin-diffusion model without any discrepancies unlike the results of Godfrey and Johnson.

    We are able to continuously change the direction of polarization of spin accumulation in a nonmagnetic metal by varying the currents injected by two ferromagnetic spin injectors. From measurements made at a distance from the injection area, we find a cos phi variation of the spin signal. This confirms that the angle of polarization of the nonlocal spin polarization with respect to the magnetization of the fixed spin detector is continuously varied as we change the injection currents. We give an explanation for the origin of this simple cos phi variation of the spin signal.

    The authors have investigated dynamics of paired domain walls in a ferromagnetic ring circuit, driven by a variable pulsed magnetic field. The magnetic reversal accompanied by the propagations of the domain walls depends not only on the amplitude but also on the rise time of the applied pulsed magnetic field. The threshold of the rise time is found comparable to the propagation time of a domain wall along a half-path of the ring. This finding may be useful for the high speed operation of the magnetic logic devices based on the domain wall motion. (c) 2007 American Institute of Physics.

    Reversible spin Hall effect comprising the direct and inverse spin Hall effects was electrically detected at room temperature. A platinum wire with a strong spin-orbit interaction is used not only as a spin current absorber but also as a spin-current source in the specially designed lateral structure. The obtained spin Hall conductivities are 2: 4 x 10(4) (Omega m)(-1) at room temperature, 10(4) times larger than the previously reported values of semiconductor systems. Spin Hall conductivities obtained from both the direct and inverse spin Hall effects are experimentally confirmed to be the same, demonstrating the Onsager reciprocal relations between spin and charge currents.

Efficient spin injection and detection are accomplished by optimizing the probe configuration and junction structures on the basis of the concept of spin resistance. The magnetization switching of a nanoscale ferromagnet is finally realized using efficient spin current absorption behaviour induced by nonlocal spin injection.

The magnetic vortices with opposite chiralities are realized by introducing asymmetry into the disks. The motion of the paired vortices are studied by measuring the magnetoresistance with a lock-in resistance bridge technique. The vortex annihilation process is found to depend on the moving directions of the magnetic vortices. The experimental results are well reproduced by the micromagnetic simulation.

Domain formation is also investigated when the size of the top nanomagnet is increased. (C) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The influence of the pure spin current injection on a domain wall nucleation process in a magnetic wire is investigated by using the nonlocal spin injection technique. The pure spin current injection is found to assist the domain wall nucleation. The spin current responsible for nucleating the domain wall in the nonlocal configuration is comparable to the threshold spin current for the domain wall displacement in the direct current injection. The bias-field dependence of the switching current shows a complicated behaviour. This may be related to the detailed domain structure in the vicinity of the domain wall.

    The authors fabricated a current-perpendicular-to-plane pseudo-spin-valve nanopillar comprising a thick and a thin Co rings with deep submicron lateral sizes. The dc current can effectively induce the flux-closure vortex states in the rings with desired chiralities. Abrupt transitions between the vortex states are also realized by the dc current and detected with the giant magnetoresistance effect. Both Oersted field and spin-transfer torque are found important to the magnetic transitions, but the former is dominant. They can be designed to cooperate with each other in the vortex-to-vortex transitions by carefully setting the chirality of the vortex state in the thick Co ring.

The Co nanorings can be switched between the onion states as well as between onion and vortex states not only by the external field but also by the perpendicularly injected dc current.

    We investigate the current-driven magnetization dynamics in narrow Permalloy wires by means of Lorentz microscopy and electron holography. Current pulses are found to transform the magnetic structure in the uniformly magnetized state below the Curie temperature. A variety of magnetic states including reversed magnetic domains are randomly obtained in low probability. The dynamics of vortices found in most of observed magnetic states seems to play a key role in triggering the magnetization reversal.

    The temperature dependence of the switching current of a magnetic nanopillar is investigated from 10 to 290 K. According to the switching probability measurement with the pulsed current, and the differential resistance measurement with sweeping the dc current, the intrinsic switching currents increase with decreasing the temperature. Transport calculations show that this temperature dependence is closely related to the reduced spin accumulation and spin polarization of the electrical current at low temperatures, attributed to the varied transport parameters. The conclusion is in accordance with the temperature dependence of the resistance difference between antiparallel and parallel magnetic configurations. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.

    Magnetically coupled domain wall pinning has been investigated by means of an attached pair of ferromagnetic wires. The magnetic configuration of the paired wires (parallel or antiparallel) can be controlled by applying an external magnetic field along the wires. The strength of the pinning due to the magnetic interaction between the domain wall and the paired wires shows a significant difference between the parallel and antiparallel configurations, which is well reproduced by a micromagnetics simulation.

    With the experimental results obtained with a special nanopillar structure and the calculations based on the one-dimensional diffusion equations, the respective contributions to the spin torque from spin accumulation and local spin current are quantitatively deduced. The results for a typical nanopillar structure show that the spin accumulation contributes to about 90&#37; of the necessary torque for the antiparallel to parallel switching, while the parallel to antiparallel switching is totally dominated by the local spin current. Both the variations in spin accumulation and local spin current should be considered in any effort to reduce the critical switching current density. However it seems more effective to increase the local spin current in most cases.

    A special nanopillar comprised of a thick top ferromagnetic layer and a thin bottom ferromagnetic layer is fabricated and the transport properties are measured by applying a dc current and an external field. It is shown experimentally that the dc current flowing through the nanopillar could lead to intermediate states between the antiparallel and the parallel magnetic configurations. The intermediate states are characterized to be the result of domain formation in the bottom ferromagnetic layer, due to the injection of spin-polarized current. The results verify that the spin-transfer effect may induce domain formation in a magnetic thin film. It is also suggested that when the spin-transfer effect is utilized to switch the nanopillar device, the domain formation may result in the incomplete magnetization switching.

A detailed structural evolution of the magnetization is presented as a function of the applied current density. Local structural deformation, bidirectional displacement, and magnetization reversal are found below the Curie temperature with increasing the current density. We discuss probable mechanisms of observed features of the current-excited magnetization dynamics.

    The induced motion of a magnetic vortex in a micron-sized ferromagnetic disk due to the dc current injection is studied by measuring planar Hall effect. We demonstrated that the vortex motion induced by the dc current injection has no threshold current and is proportional to the injecting current. The induced displacement deduced from the change in planar Hall resistance is quantitatively consistent with theoretical predictions. The dc current injection is also found to induce the spin torque that sweeps the vortex out of the disk at the critical current while bias magnetic fields are applied. Peak structures similar to those originated from spin wave excitations are observed in the differential planar Hall resistance curve.

    To clarify the contributions of spin-polarized current and spin accumulation to the current-induced magnetization switching, the effects of the top electrode size of the magnetic nanopillar are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. Theoretical calculation demonstrates that the spin-polarized current and the spin accumulation can be adjusted in opposite directions by modifying the size of the top electrode. Increase in the size of the top electrode suppresses the spin accumulation but enhances the spin-polarized current inside the nanopillar. On the other hand, it is shown experimentally that the nanopillar with a wide top electrode exhibits small critical switching current compared to the nanopillar with a narrow top electrode. The results suggest that the spin-polarized current contributes to the current-induced magnetization switching dominantly over the spin accumulation. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The junction size dependence of the spin accumulation in a nonmagnet is studied by using lateral spin valves geometry consisting of the Py/Cu ohmic junctions. We experimentally demonstrate that reducing the size of the junction drastically improves the efficiency of the spin injection into the Cu wire because of the enhancement of the spin resistance for the Py wire. The spin polarization in the Cu wire increases exponentially with reducing the junction area irrespective of the same spacing between the injector and the detector. The junction size dependence of the spin signal yields the spin diffusion lengths and the spin polarization which are reasonable values compared with previous experiments.

    Nonlocal spin-valve configuration is used for spin current injection into a nanoscale ferromagnetic particle to reverse its magnetization. The nonlocal spin injection aligns the magnetization of the nanoscale particle along the spin injector, whereas the reverse switching is hardly observed up to the available maximum exciting current of about 15 mA. This asymmetric behavior implies the presence of asymmetric barrier formed in the vicinity of the interface. The magnitude of the essential spin current for the reversal is determined to be about 160 mu A, on the reasonable order of magnitude compared with the experimental values for conventional pillar structures.

    Taking into account the thermal effect, we verify that the strong spin relaxation in the capping layer of a magnetic nanopillar significantly affects the current-induced magnetization switching behavior by reducing the critical switching current density. Theoretical calculations reveal that increasing the spin relaxation in the capping layer enhances the spin-polarized current while suppresses the contribution of the spin accumulation to the magnetization switching. The results suggest that the spin-polarized current, rather than the spin accumulation, dominates the current-induced magnetization switching. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.

    We have performed nonlocal spin injection into a nanoscale ferromagnetic particle configured in a lateral spin-valve structure to switch its magnetization only by spin current. The nonlocal spin injection aligns the magnetization of the particle parallel to the magnetization of the spin injector. The spin current responsible for switching is estimated from the experiment to be about 200 mu A, which is reasonable compared with the values obtained for conventional pillar structures. Interestingly, the switching always occurs from antiparallel to parallel in the particle-injector magnetic configurations, where no opposite switching is observed. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are discussed.

The nonlocal spin valve measurements show that the An capping significantly suppresses the spin accumulation in the Cu wire, although it improves the electrical conductivity. This is understood as a result of the small spin-flip resistance of An whereby absorbed spins are successively flipped.

    We demonstrate the method to calculate the spatial distributions of the spin current and accumulation in the multiterminal ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic hybrid structure using an approximate electrotransmission line. The analyses based on the obtained equation yield the results, in good agreement with the experimental ones. This implies that the method allows us to determine the spin diffusion length of an additionally connected electrically floating wire from the reduction of the spin signal.

    We report that the inhomogeneous spin accumulation in a nonmagnetic layer induces the spin-polarized current flowing in a detector ferromagnetic strip lying underneath the nonmagnetic layer. In Ni-Fe/Cu planar spin-valve structures, the induced spin-polarized current causes the spin-valve-like signal in the Ni-Fe wire without any boundary resistance in the Cu/Ni-Fe junction. The relation between the inhomogeneous spin accumulation and the magnitude of the induced spin-valve-like signal is investigated by varying the width of the Cu wire.

    Laterally nanostructured ferromagnetic / nonmagnetic hybrid multi-terminal devices are potential spintronic devices, and allow detailed study of the spin accumulation in non-magnetic layers. We investigate the dependence of the spin signal in the non-local spinvalve configuration on the width of the Cu strip and the influence of an additional Permalloy ohmic contact on the spin signal in lateral spin-valve structures consisting of Py/Cu ohmic junctions. We also report the non-local Hall resistance measurements, which reflect the spin current in the non-magnetic layer.

    We have investigated experimentally the nonlocal voltage signal (NLVS) in the lateral Permalloy (Py)/Cu/Py spin-valve devices with different width of Cu stripes. We found that NLVS strongly depends on the distribution of the spin-polarized current inside Cu strip in the vicinity of the Py detector. To explain these data we have developed a diffusion model describing spatial (three dimensional) distribution of the spin-polarized current in the device. The results of our calculations show that NLVS is decreased by a factor of 10 due to spin flip scattering occurring at the Py/Cu interface. The interface resistivity on the Py/Cu interface is also present, but its contribution to reduction of NLVS is minor. We also found that most of the spin-polarized current is injected within the region 30 nm from the Py injector/Cu interface. In the area at Py detector/Cu interface, the spin-polarized current is found to flow mainly close on the injector side, with 1/e exponential decay in the magnitude within the distance 80 nm.

    Within diffusive transport, we calculate three-dimensional current distribution inside a (Cu/Co) pillar structure, where the pillar is terminated either by an infinitely large Cu layer, or by a Cu wire with a cross-sectional area identical to that of the pillar. We study how pillar terminations (infinitely large or finite) influence the magnitudes and inhomogeneities of the spin-polarized current and electrochemical potential. We found that infinitely large Cu layers work as strong spin scatterers, increasing the magnitude of spin-polarized current inside the pillar twice and reducing spin accumulation to nearly zero. The inhomogeneities of the electrochemical potential are found to be much smaller than those of the spin-polarized current.

    A nanoscale pillar consisting of a Co/Cu/Co layered structure was fabricated by means of electron-beam lithography to study perpendicular transport properties as a function of both dc electric currents and applied magnetic fields. The nanopillar exhibits sharp transitions in magnetoresistance associated with magnetization reversal between antiparallel and parallel configurations of the two Co layers. Remarked is that the application of a large initializing field of 1 kOe and a current of 16 mA prior to the measurement results in an intermediate state. This intermediate state seems nucleated due to the spin wave instability. (C) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

The probe configuration consists of a lateral spin valve with three Ni-Fe wires bridged by a Cu wire. The advantage is that the spin polarization in the Cu wire induced by the spin injection can be enhanced compared to the conventional method. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.

    We report the detection of clear spin-valve signal without any spurious magnetoresistive signal in a lateral spin-valve structure consisting of Cu/Ni-Fe ohmic junction using local current injection. The obtained spin-valve signal is much larger than that of the nonlocal spin-valve configuration because of the efficient spin accumulation. The local current injection experiments with different probe configurations proved that the spin-valve signal is caused by the spin-dependent boundary resistance at the interface between the ferromagnetic voltage probe and the spin-polarized nonmagnetic wire.

    We here experimentally demonstrate the domain wall depinning triggered by injecting the current into the domain wall. The domain wall is pinned at the connection of a large pad and a narrow wire prior to the current injection experiment. The pinned domain wall is freed and pushed into the wire at the critical current, only when the current is injected along the direction of the domain wall propagation. These results imply that the injection of the spin-polarized current into the domain wall causes additional magnetic pressure due to the spin-momentum transfer between the spin-olarized current and the localized magnetic moment.

The sensitivity of the system is demonstrated by measuring MOKE hysteresis curves of submicron permalloy rectangular dots and wires.

The domain wall is pinned at the junction of a large pad and a narrow wire prior to the current injection experiment. When the polarized spin current is injected along the direction of the domain-wall propagation, the pinned domain wall is freed and pushed into the wire at the critical current that monotonously decreases by increasing the applied bias magnetic field. These results imply that the injection of the spin-polarized current into the domain wall causes additional magnetic pressure due to the spin-momentum transfer between the spin-polarized current and the localized magnetic moment.

    We investigate the influence of the dc current injection on trapped domain walls in magnetic nanostructures designed for high precision anisotropy magnetoresistance measurements. The results obtained for a simple strip with no trapped domain wall are compared with those for the strip with the trapped domain wall. The depinning field of the domain wall decreases significantly when the electron current is applied along the direction of the domain wall propagation. On the other hand, the switching field only shows a small reduction when the electron current is opposed to the domain wall propagation. The origin of this behavior can be explained by considering Joule heat as well as an additional pressure exerted on the domain wall due to the transfer of the spin angular momentum from the spin-polarized current to the local magnetic moment.

    The resonant precession of the magnetizations such as the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and spin wave (SW) excitation is unique and attractive property of the ferromagnetic thin film for future applications in nano-electric and telecommunication devices. Especially, after establishing the concept of the spin current, the considerable attention has been paid to such spin dynamics. Moreover, the oscillation amplitude in such resonant spin motion is found to show the nonlinear responses under the high power excitation. These fascinating properties may open novel functional spintronic devices such as spin current amplifier and neuromophic operation. However, experimental difficulties and complicated spatial spin distribution make it difficult to understand the related phenomena deeply. In this presentation, we show that nonlinear responses for the FMR and the surface SW in a Permalloy strip can be simply excited by the application of non-uniform RF magnetic field with high amplitude.

Advance Care Planning (ACP) is an essential part of quality end of life care in the UK and in most developed countries, enabling more people to live well and die well as they would choose. In the context of the ageing population, with increasing possibilities for medical interventions, ACP is an crucial consideration, with important implications for the individual person and their family and for our wider population. This book takes a comprehensive look at the subject, helps readers explore a wide range of issues and practicalities in providing ACP; frames the purpose, process, and outcomes; provides updates on national and international research, policy, and practice and includes contributions from experts from around the world. Death will affect us all; it is the one certainty in life. Yet the subject of death remains something of a taboo, we rarely discuss what our preferences would be at end of life, what we would want, where we would want to be cared for, not even with loved ones.

     詳細を見る

    記述言語:英語  

    The transport properties of diffusive spin currents have been investigated in lateral ferromagnetic/non-magnetic metal hybrid structures. The spin diffusion processes were found to be strongly dependent on the magnitude of the spin resistances of connected materials. Efficient spin injection and detection are accomplished by optimizing the junction structures on the basis of the spin resistance circuitry. The magnetization switching of a nanoscale ferromagnetic particle and also room temperature spin Hall effect measurements were realized by using an efficient pure-spin-current injection.

    The authors have proposed a control method of the magnetic vortex chirality in regular polygonal nanomagnets with an odd number of sides. The asymmetric nucleation energy of the vortex from the uniformly magnetized state enables us to simply control the vortex chirality by an in-plane magnetic field. The reliability of the proposed method has been numerically and experimentally confirmed in the triangle, pentagonal, heptagonal, and nonagonal Permalloy nanomagnets. The authors also confirmed that the vortex chirality is uncontrollable when the number of the side is even. © 2010 American Institute of Physics.
