Magnetization dynamics and pure spin currents in YIG/normal-metal systems / Dynamique de magnétisation et courants spin purs dans systèmes YIG/métal-normal

Hahn, Christian 17 October 2014 (has links)
Le domaine de recherche de la spintronique vise a concevoir des dispositifs électroniques misant sur le degré de libre de spin pour transporter de l'information. An d'intégrer ces courants de spin dans des dispositifs électroniques, il est particulièrement intéressant d'étudier l'inter-conversion d'un pur courant de spin en un courant de charge par l'effet Hall de spin, ainsi que le transfert de moment angulaire entre les électrons de conduction d'un métal normal (NM) et l'aimantation d'un ferromagnétique (FM) (couple de transfert de spin / pompage de spin). An de mieux comprendre ces différentes interaction, cette thèse se concentre sur l'étude du système hybride constitué de la juxtaposition d'un ferrimagnétique isolant, le grenat d'yttrium fer (YIG), et d'un métal normal _a fort couplage spin-orbite (Pt ou Ta), nécessaire pour bénéficier de la polarisation en spin de l'interface par un courant électrique dans le plan. Nous avons étudié le pompage de spin et la magnétorésistance produite par l'effet Hall de spin a l'interface entre des bicouches de YIG j Pt et YIG j Ta, et ceci sur des lms étendus de YIG de 200 nm d'épaisseur, produits par épitaxie en phase liquide. Nous observons que la tension électrique, produite par l'effet Hall de spin inverse, change de signe entre du Pt et du Ta confirmant ainsi l'inversion des signes de l'angle de Hall entre ces deux matériaux. En outre, en mesurant la variation de la tension de Hall inverse en fonction de l'épaisseur de la couche de Ta, nous avons réussi à borner la longueur de diffusion de spin dans le Ta. Tant le YIG j Pt et le YIG j Ta affiche une variation semblable de la magnétorésistance a effet Hall de spin en fonction de l'orientation du champ magnétique. Pour étudier l'inuence interfaciale du pompage de spin… / Spintronics aims at designing electronic devices which capitalize on the spin degree of freedom to transport information using spin currents. In order to incorporate spin currents intoelectronic devices, it is particularly interesting to study the interconversion from a spin current, the motion of spin angular momentum, to a charge current (Spin Hall Effect) as well as the transfer of spin angular momentum between the conduction electrons of a normal metal (NM) and the magnetization of a ferromagnet (FM) (Spin Transfer Torque/Spin Pumping). To investigate the interplay of those effects this thesis studies hybrid systems of the ferromagnetic insulator Yttrium Iron Garnet and normal metals with large spin-orbit coupling, a prerequisite for spin Hall e_ect. We study spin pumping and spin hall magnetoresistance in YIGjPt and YIGjTa bi-layers using extended _lms of 200 nm thick YIG, grown by liquid phase epitaxy. The inverse spin Hall voltages in Pt and Ta confirm the opposite signs of spin Hall angles in these two materials. Moreover, from the dependence of the inverse spin Hall voltage on the Ta thickness, we constrain the spin di_usion length in Ta. Both the YIGjPt and YIGjTa systems display a similar variation of resistance upon magnetic eld orientation, the spin Hall magnetoresistance. To study the inuence of interfacial spin pumping and a possible reverse e_ect, it is desirable to work with thin _lm thicknesses. A high quality 20 nm thick YIG _lm was grown by pulsed laser deposition, showing a damping similar to that of bulk YIG. We use nano-lithography to pattern series of YIG(20nm) and YIG(20nm)jPt(13nm) discs with diameters between 300 and 700 nm. The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra of the individual sub-micron sized samples are recorded through magnetic resonance force microscopy. . Passing dc-current through micron sized YIGjPt disks reveal a variation of the FMR linewidth consistent with the geometry and amplitude of the expected SHE transfer torque. In the absence of exciting microwave _elds, a variation in the magnetization is detected when the dc-current reaches the expected threshold for auto oscillations.

Nanostructures ferromagnétiques/non-magnétiques pour la mesure électrique de l'effet Spin Hall et la détection de murs de domaine / Ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic nanostructures for the electrical measurement of the Spin Hall effect and the detection of domain walls

Pham, Van Tuong 12 May 2017 (has links)
Les purs courants de spin peuvent être créés dans des dispositifs latéraux, en utilisant des mesures non-locales dans des vannes de spin latérales, par l’effet Hall de spin ou encore des effets magnétocaloriques. Ils consistent en le flux d'électrons de spin-up dans une direction, et de spin-down dans la direction opposée, de sorte qu’il y ait un flux de moment angulaire sans flux net de charge. Ces propriétés de transport de spin sont étudiés dans des matériaux non-magnétiques, afin de limiter les effets joules ou les effets de champs Oersted, mais surtout pour permettre la création de dispositifs aux nouvelles fonctionnalités et principe de fonctionnement. En outre, l'absorption de courants de spin purs par un élément ferromagnétique est associé au mécanisme de transfert de spin et peuvent exciter des ondes de spin, induire des oscillations magnétiques conduisant à la commutation magnétique. Un sujet relativement indépendant, mais connexe est la manipulation de parois magnétiques (DWS) dans les nanostructures, qui soulève des questions fondamentales liées au mouvement de DW induit par courant, et sous-tend un certain nombre de technologies émergentes. Au cours de cette thèse, l'intention est d'explorer l'interaction entre les DWS et les courants de spin purs. L'idée principale est d'utiliser vannes de spin latérales pour créer et détecter les courants de spin, et des constrictions dans des nanofils de NiFe pour manipuler les DW, nous allons alors montrer comment ceci peut être utilisé pour générer depuis des DWS des courants de spin purs pour détecter efficacement l’effet Hall de spin. Réciproquement, les courants de spin ainsi généré peuvent être utilisés pour détecter très précisément la position ou la configuration micro-magnétique d'un DW. / The bulk effect of the interconversion between charge current and spin current is activated by spin Hall effect (SHE) and its inverse. It is vastly recognized that the SHE originate of the strong spin–orbit coupling in nonmagnetic materials. This thesis is focused on a proposal techniques to characterize SHE and inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in the ferromagnetic/nonmagnetic (F/N) nanostructure and electrical detection of magnetic domain walls by using SHE and ISHE. We will briefly give the cornerstones and the basic spintronic concepts, in order to ease the understanding of the work presented in this thesis, and the state-of-the-art of the SHE investigations. In the second part, a technique of F/N nanostructure are proposed and applied to detect the spin Hall angle and spin diffusion length of Pt. Then the technique will be used to characterize the SHE/ISHE in different materials, heavy metal and alloys. The influence of the interfaces in the device will also investigated. In the last of this manuscript, we demonstrate a domain wall (DW) detection method, based on the ability for a ferromagnetic nanowire, in which a DW is pinned, to inject or detect a PSC what can be produced/detected by SHE/ISHE.

Studium spintronických jevů v magneticky uspořádaných strukturách pomocí terahertzové spektroskopie / Study of spintronic phenomena in magnetically ordered stuctures using terahertz spectroscopy

Kubaščík, Peter January 2021 (has links)
The main objective of this thesis was to bring the first experimental evidence about the spin-Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) in the Terahertz (THz) spectral range. The time-domain THz spectroscopy (TDTS) was chosen as the main method, and we presented a new experimental scheme, which allows us to observe SMR or magnetoresistive effects with similar symmetry at a wide range of THz frequencies very efficiently. We focused on the study of SMR in the bilayers consisting of either a prototypical ferrimagnetic isolator or of heavy metal (FI/HM) and metallic stacks of ferromagnetic CoFeB and heavy metal Pt layer (FM/HM). While SMR shows a rapid decrease already at the lowest THz frequencies (< 1 THz) in the FI/HM structures, the SMR in FM/HM bilayers persists above 30 THz. These observations are then explained by a different mechanism of SMR. The second part of the thesis is devoted to the construction of the new TDTS setup and an easy-to-use model of the THz setup using the Gaussian description of THz radiation. The simulated results have been compared to corresponding experimental measurements using a spintronic THz emitter (STE). The last part of the thesis describes the emission of intensive THz pulses from large-area STE.

Study of AlGaN/GaN quantum structure fabricated by Focus ion beam

Chang, Yung-Shi 28 July 2009 (has links)
We have observed a large spin-splitting in device made of AlxGa1-xN/GaN quantum wires. Based on this observation, we proposed a new spintronic application, the spin-hall quantum-ring interferometer, by the spin-Hall effect, Rashba and Dresselhaus effects. This device we use the ICP Etch System to etch the contact pattern, and then use the Multi-Target Sputter to deposit the protecting layer, and then use the E-Beam Evaporator to make the contact. Finally, using the Focus Ion Beam, we fabricate the quantum-ring and gate successfully. This thesis is focused on discussing the design of the fabrication and try to solve the problem in order to be able to detect the signal of the quantum-ring interferometer at low temperature and high magnetic condition.

Microwave photovoltage effects in thin-film magnetic bilayer systems

Hyde, Paul 13 January 2015 (has links)
The field of Spintronics, which utilizes the spin polarization of electrons as a means to transport energy and information, is currently undergoing a massive expansion due to the numerous recent discoveries of electron spin-based effects only visible at the micro and nano scale. With all these new material and current based properties being discovered, it has become increasingly difficult to experimentally isolate the effects of each of them individually. In this work one of the main proposals is an experimental method for separating the voltage signals generated by the spin rectification effect and spin pumping in bilayer samples, a topic currently of much interest to the spintronics community. After demonstrating this new method for separating voltage signals, it is utilized to reveal new details about how the layers of ferromagnetic bilayer samples interact with each other and the behaviours of spin currents within these systems.

Optical control of polaritons: from optoelectronic to spinoptronic device concepts

Binder, R., Luk, S. M. H., Kwong, N. H., Lewandowski, P., Schumacher, S., Lafont, O., Baudin, E., Tignon, J., Lemaitre, A., Bloch, J., Chan, Ch. K. P., Leung, P. T. 08 May 2017 (has links)
Exciton-polaritons in semiconductor microcavities have been studied intensely, both with respect to their intriguing fundamental physical properties and with respect to their potential in novel device designs. The latter requires ways to control polaritonic systems, and all-optical control mechanisms are considered to be especially useful. In this talk, we discuss and review our efforts to control the polariton density, utilizing optical four-wave mixing instabilites, and the spin or polarization textures resulting from the optical spin Hall effect. Both effects are readily observable in the cavity's far-field emission, and hence potentially useful for optoelectronic and spinoptronic device applications.

A Model for a Fractionalized Quantum Spin Hall Effect

Young, Michael W. January 2008 (has links)
<p> Effects of electron correlations on a two dimensional quantum spin Hall system are studied. We examine possible phases of a generalized Hubbard model on a bilayer honeycomb lattice with a spin-orbit coupling and short range electron-electron repulsions at half filling, based on the slave rotor mean-field theory. The phase diagram of the model is found for a special case where the interlayer Coulomb repulsion is comparable to the intralayer Coulomb repulsion.</p> <p> Besides the conventional quantum spin Hall phase and a broken-symmetry insulating phase, we find a new phase, a fractionalized quantum spin Hall phase, where the quantum spin Hall effect arises for fractionalized spinons which carry only spin but not charge. Experimental manifestations of the exotic phase and effects of fluctuations beyond the saddle point approximation are also discussed.</p> <p> We finally study a toy Bose-Hubbard model for the charge sector of the theory to gain some insight into the phase diagram away from the special Coulomb repulsion values.</p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)

Manipulation et détection d'ondes de spin via l'interaction spin-orbite dans des guides d'ondes ultraminces Ta/FeCoB/MgO à anisotropie perpendiculaire / Manipulation and detection of spin waves using spin-orbit interaction in ultrathin perpendicular anisotropy Ta/FeCoB/MgO waveguides

Fabre, Mathieu-Bhayu 10 July 2019 (has links)
Les ondes de spin sont une des voies technologiques proposées pour surmonter les obstacles que rencontre la miniaturisation des complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) dans la gamme du nanomètre, comme en témoignent les derniers développements en matière de dispositifs logiques à ondes de spin. Cependant, l'attrait industriel de ces preuves de concept est conditionné par leur intégration évolutive à la technologie CMOS. Ici, nous présentons des pistes ultrafines de Ta/CoFeB/MgO utilisées comme guides d'ondes de spin. Ce système a été choisi pour sa compatibilité avec les procédés CMOS, son anisotropie magnétique perpendiculaire et ses fortes interactions spin-orbite. Ces derniers sont intéressants pour manipuler les ondes de spin et ont été caractérisés par résonance ferromagnétique à couple de spin où il est démontré que l'effet Hall de spin inverse est responsable de la détection de la dynamique de magnétisation. Ensuite, nous utilisons des guides d'ondes coplanaires nanométriques intégrés pour exciter localement des ondes de spin dans une large gamme de vecteurs d'ondes. La comparaison du spectre d'ondes de spin mesuré avec les calculs analytiques montre que l'effet Hall de spin inverse permet la détection des ondes de spin indépendamment de leur vecteur d'onde avec des longueurs d'onde allant jusqu'à 150 nm. Des expériences complémentaires de diffusion de la lumière de Brillouin révèlent que les ondes de spin dans le guide d'ondes de spin ultra-mince à anisotropie magnétique perpendiculaire ont des longueurs de propagation étonnamment élevées compte tenu de l'amortissement relativement élevé des systèmes Ta/CoFeB/MgO. Ces résultats ouvrent la voie à des dispositifs à ondes de spin ultraminces compatibles CMOS avec des techniques d'excitation et de détection évolutives jusqu'à l'ordre du nanomètre, avec la perspective de contrôler les ondes de spin via des couples spin-orbite. / Spin-waves have been proposed as a possible technological path to overcome the hurdles encountered by the miniaturization of complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) into the nanometer range, demonstrated by recent developments in spin-wave-based logic devices. However the industrial appeal of these proofs-of-concept is conditional upon their scalable integration with CMOS technology. Here, we report on ultrathin Ta/CoFeB/MgO wires used as spin-wave waveguides. This system is chosen for its compability with CMOS processes, its perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and strong spin-orbit interactions. The latter are of interest for manipulating spin waves and are characterized via spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance where it is shown that the inverse spin Hall effect is responsible for the detection of magnetization dynamics. Following this, we use integrated nanometric coplanar waveguides to locally excite spin-waves in a broad range of wavevectors. Comparison of the measured spin-wave spectrum with analytical calculations show that the inverse spin Hall effect allows the wavevector-independent detection of spin-waves with wavelengths down to 150 nm. Complementary Brillouin light scattering experiments reveal that spin-waves in the ultrathin spin-wave waveguide with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have unexpectedly high propagation lengths considering the relatively high damping in Ta/CoFeB/MgO systems. These findings pave the way for ultrathin CMOS-compatible spin-wave devices with excitation and detection techniques that are scalable into the nanometer range, with the prospect of controlling spin-waves via spin-orbit torques.
