Abstract
We report on a growth-induced ∼2.5-nm-thick gadolinium iron garnet (GdIG) interfacial layer formed at the Y3Fe5O12 (YIG) film and Gd3Ga5O12 (GGG) substrate. The exchange coupling between the interfacial GdIG layer and the YIG layer results in an exchange-dominated nonpropagating spin wave (SW) mode aside from the uniform ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) mode observed in spin pumping measurements. The spin current generated by the SW mode is comparable to that generated by the uniform FMR mode. A theoretical model is provided to demonstrate that the exchange coupling between the interfacial GdIG layer and the YIG layer results in two resonance frequencies. Our results provide insights into the generation and propagation of spin currents in the YIG/Pt system for low-power spintronics.
期刊介绍:
Applied Physics Letters (APL) features concise, up-to-date reports on significant new findings in applied physics. Emphasizing rapid dissemination of key data and new physical insights, APL offers prompt publication of new experimental and theoretical papers reporting applications of physics phenomena to all branches of science, engineering, and modern technology.
In addition to regular articles, the journal also publishes invited Fast Track, Perspectives, and in-depth Editorials which report on cutting-edge areas in applied physics.
APL Perspectives are forward-looking invited letters which highlight recent developments or discoveries. Emphasis is placed on very recent developments, potentially disruptive technologies, open questions and possible solutions. They also include a mini-roadmap detailing where the community should direct efforts in order for the phenomena to be viable for application and the challenges associated with meeting that performance threshold. Perspectives are characterized by personal viewpoints and opinions of recognized experts in the field.
Fast Track articles are invited original research articles that report results that are particularly novel and important or provide a significant advancement in an emerging field. Because of the urgency and scientific importance of the work, the peer review process is accelerated. If, during the review process, it becomes apparent that the paper does not meet the Fast Track criterion, it is returned to a normal track.
