Specular Inverse Faraday Effect in Transition Metals
Víctor H. Ortiz, Shashi B. Mishra, Luat Vuong +2
The inverse Faraday effect is an opto-magnetic phenomenon that describes the ability of circularly polarized light to induce magnetism in solids. The capability of light to control…
First and second order magnetic anisotropy and damping of europium iron garnet under high strain
Victor H. Ortiz, Bassim Arkook, Junxue Li +8
Understanding and tailoring static and dynamic properties of magnetic insulator thin films is important for spintronic device applications. Here, we grow atomically flat epitaxial…
Magneto-optical Kerr spectra of gold induced by spin accumulation
Víctor H. Ortiz, Sinisa Coh, Richard B. Wilson
We report the magneto optic Kerr effect (MOKE) angle of Au magnetically excited by spin accumulation. We perform time resolved polar MOKE measurements on Au/Co heterostructures. In…
Electron-Phonon Scattering governs both Ultrafast and Precessional Magnetization Dynamics in Co-Fe Alloys
Ramya Mohan, Victor H. Ortiz, Luat Vuong +2
Recent investigations have advanced the understanding of how structure-property relationships in ferromagnetic metal alloys affect the magnetization dynamics on nanosecond time-sca…
Ultrafast Measurements of the Interfacial Spin Seebeck Effect in Au and Rare-Earth Iron Garnet Bilayers
Victor H. Ortiz, Michael J. Gomez, Yawen Liu +3
We investigate picosecond spin-currents across Au/iron-garnet interfaces in response to ultrafast laser heating of the electrons in the Au film. In the picoseconds after optical he…
Spin Seebeck effect from antiferromagnetic magnons and critical spin fluctuations in epitaxial FeF2 films
Junxue Li, Zhong Shi, Victor H. Ortiz +5
We report a longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (SSE) study in epitaxially grown FeF2(110) antiferromagnetic (AFM) thin films with strong uniaxial anisotropy over the temperature rang…
Systematic Control of Strain-Induced Perpendicular Magnetic Anisotropy in Epitaxial Europium and Terbium Iron Garnets Thin Films
Victor H. Ortiz, Mohammed Aldosary, Junxue Li +6
We show tunable strain-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) over a wide range of thicknesses in epitaxial ferrimagnetic insulator Eu3Fe5O12 (EuIG) and Tb3Fe5O12 (TbIG) t…
