Spin Transport in Magnetic Nano-StructuresChen, Kai, Chen, Kai January 2017 (has links)
Since the discovery of giant magnetoresistance in 1980s, Spintronics became an exciting field which studies numerous phenomena including the spin transport in magnetic heterostructures, magnetization dynamics and the interplay between them. I have investigated different topics during my graduate research. In this dissertation, I summarize all my projects including spin pumping, spin convertance and spin injection into ballistic medium.
First, we develop a linear response formalism for spin pumping effect. Spin pumping refers that a precessing emits a spin current into its adjacent nonmagnetic surroundings, which was originally proposed using scattering theory. The newly developed formalism is demonstrated to be identical the early theory in limiting case. While our formalism is convenient to include the effects of disorders and spin-orbit coupling which can resolve the quantitative controversies between early theory and experiments. Second, the spin pumping experiments indicates a much smaller spin Hall angle compared with the results obtained via the spin transfer torque measurements. We found that such issues can be resolved when taking into consideration the effects of non-local conductivity. And we conclude neither of the two methods measures the real spin Hall angle while the spin pumping methods provides much accurate estimations. Third, we developed the spin transport equations in weak scattering medium in the presence of spin-orbit coupling. Before this, all spin dependent electron transport has been modeled by the conventional spin diffusion equation. While recent spin injection experiments have seen the failure of spin diffusion equation. As the experimental fitting using spin diffusion models led to unrealistic conclusions. At last, we study the spin convertance in anti-ferromagnetic multilayers, where the spin information can be mutually transferred between ferromagnetic/anti-ferromagnetic and conduction electrons. Our theory successfully explained the experiment results that the insertion of thin NiO film between YIG/Pt largely enhances the spin Seebeck currents.

Topological Aspects of Ferromagnets and AntiferromagnetsZhuo, Fengjun 06 1900 (has links)
This dissertation presents our theoretical study of fundamental topological properties of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic systems, including topological magnetic excitations and topological magnetic textures. In the first part, we explored the topological magnonic phases in various systems with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction using a linear spin-wave theory. We have calculated the magnonic Chern number, topological phase diagram, and magnon thermal Hall conductivity at low temperature with tunable interactions due to the lattice deformation. In particular, we have investigated the topological phase transitions between distinct topological magnonic phases characterized by magnonic Chern numbers. We have also studied the magnon band topology and magnonic edge states in each topological phase. We found a sign reversal of the thermal Hall conductivity during topological phase transitions. We explicitly demonstrated the correspondence of thermal Hall conductivity with the topological edge states and their propagation directions.
In the second part, a magnonic metamaterial in the presence of spatially modulated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction was theoretically proposed and demonstrated by micromagnetic simulations. By analogy to the fields of photonics, we first established magnonic Snell’s law for spin waves passing through an interface between two media with different dispersion relations due to different Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. Based on magnonic Snell’s law, we found that spin waves can experience total internal reflection. The critical angle of total internal reflection was strongly dependent on the sign and strength of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Furthermore, spin-wave beam fiber and spin-wave lens were designed by utilizing the artificial magnonic metamaterials with inhomogeneous Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions.
In the last part, we studied the impact of spin Hall torque, spin transfer torque, and topological torque on the velocity-current relation of antiferromagnetic skyrmions with the aim of reducing the deformation. Using a combination of micromagnetic simulations and analytical derivations, we demonstrated that the lateral expansion of the antiferromagnetic skyrmion is reminiscent of the well-known Lorentz contraction identified in one-dimensional antiferromagnetic domain walls. We also showed that in the flow regime the lateral expansion is accompanied by a progressive saturation of the skyrmion velocity when driven by spin Hall and topological torques. This saturation occurs at much smaller velocities when driven by the topological torque, while the lateral expansion is reduced, preventing the skyrmion size from diverging at large current densities. Our findings suggested that a compromise must be made between skyrmion velocity and lateral expansion during the device design. In this respect, exploiting the topological torque could lead to better control of the skyrmion velocity in antiferromagnetic racetracks.

Análise FORC em nanofios de Ni e Co e excitação de mágnons de superfície em filmes de O-Fe/W(001) via SPEELS / FORC analysis of Ni and Co nanowires and surface magnon excitation on O-Fe/W(001) films via SPEELSPeixoto, Thiago Ribeiro Fonseca 23 September 2010 (has links)
Estudamos o comportamento estático e os mecanismos de inversão da magnetização de arranjos auto-organizados de nanofios de Ni e Co com alta anisotropia de forma. Os arranjos são obtidos a partir da anodização em dois passos de lâminas de Al e subseqüente eletrodeposição do metal magnético. Sua caracterização estrutural é realizada por microscopia eletrônica de varredura, microscopia de força atômica e magnética e difração de raios X. Seu comportamento magnético é estudado a partir da medida de curvas de inversão de primeira ordem (FORCs) a temperatura ambiente, via magnetometria SQUID ou de amostra vibrante. A análise FORC consiste na construção de uma mapa da resposta magnética do material a partir dos dados experimentais e pode ser interpretado a partir da analogia direta com o modelo de histerese de Preisach. Apresentamos resultados da influência dos diâmetros dos nanofios e do ângulo do campo externo aplicado em relação ao eixo de anisotropia sobre as principais características dos diagramas FORC. Estudamos também a dinâmica de spins em superfícies de O-Fe/W(001) através de espectroscopia por perda de energia de elétrons spin-polarizados (SPEELS). As amostras consistem em 30 monocamadas atômicas de Fe crescidas sobre um monocristal de W(001), via epitaxia por feixe molecular a temperatura ambiente. Subseqüentemente, a amostra é exposta a 5 langmuirs de O2 e sofre um suave annealing a 500 K. A estrutura e a pureza da amostra são analisadas por difração de elétrons de baixas energias e espectroscopia de elétrons Auger. A caracterização magnética é realizada por magnetometria por efeito Kerr magneto-óptico, resultando num filme com alta magnetização remanente no plano. Os espectros de SPEELS revelam uma rica profusão de picos inelásticos tipo spin-flip e nãospin-flip, que exibem clara dispersão ao longo de toda a zona de Brillouin de superfície. Os resultados são atribuídos a modos de superfície de fônons e mágnons (ondas de spin), de acordo com resultados da literatura e com modelos teóricos atuais. / We study the static behavior and the mechanisms of magnetization reversal of arrays of self-organized Ni and Co nanowires with high shape anisotropy. The arrays are obtained by two-step anodization of Al foils and subsequent electrodeposition of the magnetic metal.Their structural characterization is obtained by scanning electron microscopy, atomic and magnetic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Their magnetic behavior is studied from the measurement of first order reversal curves (FORCs) at room temperature, via SQUID or vibrating sample magnetometry. The FORC analysis method consists in building a map of the magnetic response of the material from the experimental data and it can be interpreted from the direct analogy with the Preisach model of hysteresis. We present results of the influence of the diameter of the nanowires and the angle of the applied external field in relation to the anisotropy easy-axis on the main features of the FORC diagrams. We also study the spin dynamics of O-Fe/W(001) surfaces through spin-polarized electron energy loss spectroscopy (SPEELS). The samples consist of 30 atomic monolayers of Fe grown on a W(001) single crystal via molecular beam epitaxy at room temperature. Subsequently, the samples are exposed to 5 langmuirs of O2 and suffer a mild annealing at 500 K. The structure and purity of the samples are analyzed by low-energy electron diffraction and Auger electron spectroscopy. The magnetic characterization is performed by magneto-optical Kerr effect magnetometry, resulting in films with high remanent in-plane magnetization. SPEEL-spectra reveal a rich profusion of inelastic spin-flip and non-spin-flip peaks, which exhibit clear dispersion for wave vectors throughout the whole surface Brillouin zone. The results are attributed to surface modes of phonons and magnons (spin waves), in accordance with the literature and with current theoretical models.

Previous issue date: 1995-06-16 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / Apresentamos o espectro te?rico das ondas de spin em uma super-rede onde ambos os materiais s?o ferromagn?ticos de Heisenberg. Consideraremos o caso geral em que eles podem apresentar as componentes uniaxial e n?o-uniaxial do campo de anisotropia, enfatizando a contribui??o dos modos de superf?cie, bem como os de volume.
Uma componente n?o-uniaxial ( easy plane ) da anisotropia existe em muitos materiais, tais como o ferromagneto CrBr? e o antiferromagneto NiO. Em certos casos a anisotropia pode ser n?o-uniaxial somente na superf?cie (por exemplo, em filmes monocristalinos de Fe). Nossa teoria engloba todos estes casos.
Nossos c?lculos s?o feitos para o regime de troca ( exchange ) usando o Hamiltoniano de Heisenberg para descrever o sistema. Usamos o formalismo da matriz transfer?ncia para simplificar a ?lgebra, que de outra forma seria mais complexa. Resultados num?ricos mostram que os efeitos n?o-uniaxiais s?o mais fortes para pequenos kxa, onde kx ? o vetor de onda planar e a ? o par?metro de rede. Tamb?m verificamos a exist?ncia de gaps de frequ?ncia onde n?o existem modos de volume. A localiza??o e largura destes gaps s?o influenciados pela anisotropia n?o-uniaxial. Um caso especial de super-rede feita de um material uniaxial suportado por um n?o-uniaxial ? tamb?m considerado com datalhes, com seu espectro de ondas de spin apresentado e discutido.
Acreditamos que com o recente desenvolvimento de super-redes magn?ticas de boa qualidade, possa ser poss?vel provar-se experimentalmente o espectro das ondas de inspin nestas estruturas, a fim de testar nossas predi??es te?ricas. Al?m disso, se os constituintes da super-rede s?o feitos de materiais magn?ticos isolantes ou semicondutores, a grande vetores de onda da excita??o os efeitos de troca s?o dominantes e o sistema pode ser melhor descrito usando-se o modelo de Heisenberg, empregado neste trabalho

Infračervená spektroskopie multiferoik / Infrared Spectroscopy of MultiferroicsGoian, Veronica January 2011 (has links)
Infrared Spectroscopy of Multiferroics Author: Veronica Goian Institute: Department of Dielectrics, Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences, Na Slovance 2, 182 21 Prague 8 Abstract: We have investigated numerous multiferroic and magnetoelectric materials mainly using infrared (IR) spectroscopy. Nevertheless, the studies were frequently combined with radio-frequency, microwave, THz, Raman and structural measurements provided by our colleagues, as well as by magnetic and elastic investigations, where we participated. Our main aim was the complex study of quantum-paraelectric antiferromagnet EuTiO3 in the form of crystals, ceramics and thin films. Near 300 K we have discovered an antiferrodistorive phase transition from cubic mPm3 to tetragonal I4/mcm structure in bulk EuTiO3 and explained its low-frequency dielectric properties by anomalous polar phonon behavior. Large and anisotropic magnetodielectric effect, which we found in EuTiO3, was successfully explained and experimentally confirmed by observation of tuning of phonon frequency with magnetic field. Our IR studies of tensile strained EuTiO3 thin films revealed a displacive ferroelectric phase transition near 250 K. Our American colleagues revealed the ferromagnetic order below 4.2 K in the same strained EuTiO3 thin film. In such way we have...

Previous issue date: 2013-12-12 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cient?fico e Tecnol?gico / In this paper we investigate the spectra of band structures and transmittance in magnonic quasicrystals
that exhibit the so-called deterministic disorders, specifically, magnetic multilayer
systems, which are built obeying to the generalized Fibonacci (only golden mean (GM), silver
mean (SM), bronze mean (BM), copper mean (CM) and nickel mean (NM) cases) and
k-component Fibonacci substitutional sequences. The theoretical model is based on the Heisenberg
Hamiltonian in the exchange regime, together with the powerful transfer matrix method,
and taking into account the RPA approximation. The magnetic materials considered are simple
cubic ferromagnets. Our main interest in this study is to investigate the effects of quasiperiodicity
on the physical properties of the systems mentioned by analyzing the behavior of spin
wave propagation through the dispersion and transmission spectra of these structures. Among
of these results we detach: (i) the fragmentation of the bulk bands, which in the limit of high
generations, become a Cantor set, and the presence of the mig-gap frequency in the spin waves
transmission, for generalized Fibonacci sequence, and (ii) the strong dependence of the
magnonic band gap with respect to the parameters k, which determines the amount of different
magnetic materials are present in quasicrystal, and n, which is the generation number of the
sequence k-component Fibonacci. In this last case, we have verified that the system presents
a magnonic band gap, whose width and frequency region can be controlled by varying k and
n. In the exchange regime, the spin waves propagate with frequency of the order of a few tens
of terahertz (THz). Therefore, from a experimental and technological point of view, the magnonic
quasicrystals can be used as carriers or processors of informations, and the magnon (the
quantum spin wave) is responsible for this transport and processing / Neste trabalho investigamos espectros de estruturas de banda e de transmit?ncia em quasicristais
magn?nicos que apresentam as chamadas desordens determin?sticas, especificamente,
sistemas de multicamadas magn?ticas que s?o constru?dos obedecendo as sequ?ncias substitutionais
de Fibonacci generalizada (apenas os casos golden mean (GM), silver mean (SM),
bronze mean (BM), copper mean (CM) e nickel mean (NM)) e k-componente de Fibonacci. O
modelo te?rico ? baseado no hamiltoniano de Heisenberg para o regime de troca, juntamente
com o poderoso m?todo da matriz transfer?ncia, e levando em conta a aproxima??o RPA. Os
materiais magn?ticos considerados s?o ferromagnetos c?bicos simples. O principal interesse
deste estudo ? investigar o efeito da quasi-periodicidade nas propriedades f?sicas dos sistemas
citados analisando o comportamento da propaga??o de ondas de spin por meio dos espectros de
dispers?o e de transmiss?o dos magnons nestas estruturas. Entre os resultados destacamos: (i)
a fragmenta??o das bandas de volume que, no limite de altas gera??es, se tornam conjuntos de
Cantor, e a presen?a da frequ?ncia de mid-gap na transmit?ncia das ondas de spin, na sequ?ncia
de Fibonacci generalizada; e (ii) a forte depend?ncia do band gap magn?nico com rela??o
aos par?metros k, que determina a quantidade de materiais magn?ticos diferentes presentes no
quasi-cristal, e n, que ? o n?mero da gera??o da sequ?ncia k-componente de Fibonacci. Neste
?ltimo caso, verificamos que o sistema apresenta uma banda magn?nica proibida, cuja largura
e regi?o de frequ?ncia podem ser controladas variando k e n. No regime de troca, as ondas de
spin propagam-se com frequ?ncia da ordem de algumas dezenas de terahertz (THz). Portanto,
do ponto de vista experimental e tecnol?gico, os quasi-cristais magn?nicos podem ser utilizados
como transportadores ou processadores de informa??es, sendo o magnon (o quantum da
onda de spin) o respons?vel por esse transporte e processamento

in ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials in order to interpret measurements
and experimental observations. We use the formulation of quantization of spin waves
of Holstein-Primako to investigate properties of the spin wave propagation dynamics
in the ferrimagnetic material YIG and also in the antiferromagnetic system FeF2. For
each of them, we have developed theoretical models to adjust the dispersion relations of
spin waves measured experimentally in these systems. In addition, we investigated the
magnon energy renormalization using the formalism of two-time temperature dependent
Green's functions of Bogoliubov-Tyablikov. The application for the YIG allowed
calculate the variation of the dispersion relation for magnons with temperature. We
also investigate the magnon energy renormalization in the system FeF2, but this time
considering an approximation of the RPA type. In the energy renormalization were
considered two contributions: exchange isotropic Heisenberg and uniaxial anisotropy
type. In our calculations the temperature dependence of the uniaxial anisotropy eld
allows estimating the critical spin- op transition for the antiferromagnetic phase stability

magneto crystalline anisotropy of the antiferromagnetic material RbMnF3, based on
the crystal eld interactions and spin-orbit interaction, in order to calculate the variation

more detail calculating the relaxation rate due to 3-magnons and 4-magnons scattering
processes considering strong magnetic elds of hundreds of kOe. Finally, we have
studied thermal transport properties of magnons in YIG subject to intense magnetic
elds. We have, calculate of the speci c heat and thermal conductivity of magnons

Phonon-mediated Casimir effectPavlov, Andrei 19 November 2019 (has links)
The Casimir interaction is the fundamental physical phenomenon which emerges due to modification of vacuum fluctuations by boundaries in a confined area of space. It arises in many fields of physics, including condensed
matter. Recently, substantial interest in the Casimir effect has revived as a result of the significant progress in the experimental techniques in cold atoms.
In this thesis, we develop the description of the phonon-mediated Casimir interaction taking into account multiple phonon-impurity scatterings, that strongly renormalize the resulting interaction between the impurities. Our
results, formulated in terms of the T-matrix formalism, generalize previous studies of the Casimir interaction between different kind of impurities and allow estimation of the expected phonon-induced Casimir interaction
in various systems. Further, we consider a propagation of a singe hole in a two-dimensional ferromagnet accompanied by spin-flip processes. We show that an external magnetic field can be used to manipulate the properties of the single-layer system. For easy plain ferromagnets, at saturation value of the external field perpendicular to the easy axis, the Green’s function demonstrates the branch cut behavior. It is contrasted to the systems of an itinerant quasiparticle in the antiferromagnetic background where the quasiparticle retains the finite quasiparticle weight. The considered magnon scattering processes on a single itinerant electron (hole) in a two-dimensional ferromagnet can be used further for the magnon-mediated Casimir interaction in quasi-two-dimensional ferromagnets.
