Coupling of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic spin dynamics in Mn${}_2$Au/NiFe thin-film bilayers

Abstract

We investigate magnetization dynamics of Mn${}_2$Au/Py (Ni${}_{80}$Fe${}_{20}$) thin film bilayers using broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) and Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. Our bilayers exhibit two resonant modes with zero-field frequencies up to almost 40 GHz, far above the single-layer Py FMR. Our model calculations attribute these modes to the coupling of the Py FMR and the two antiferromagnetic resonance (AFMR) modes of Mn2Au. The coupling-strength is in the order of 1.6 T$\cdot$nm at room temperature for nm-thick Py. Our model reveals the dependence of the hybrid modes on the AFMR frequencies and interfacial coupling as well as the evanescent character of the spin waves that extend across the Mn${}_2$Au/Py interface
