Calculating the transport properties of magnetic materials from first-principles including thermal and alloy disorder, non-collinearity and spin-orbit coupling
Anton A. Starikov, Yi Liu, Zhe Yuan +1
A density functional theory based two-terminal scattering formalism that includes spin-orbit coupling and spin non-collinearity is described. An implementation using tight-binding…
Direct Method for Calculating Temperature-Dependent Transport Properties
Yi Liu, Zhe Yuan, R. J. H. Wesselink +3
We show how temperature-induced disorder can be combined in a direct way with first-principles scattering theory to study diffusive transport in real materials. Excellent (good) ag…
Interface enhancement of Gilbert damping from first-principles
Yi Liu, Zhe Yuan, R. J. H. Wesselink +2
The enhancement of Gilbert damping observed for Ni80Fe20 (Py) films in contact with the non-magnetic metals Cu, Pd, Ta and Pt, is quantitatively reproduced using first-principles s…
Gilbert damping in noncollinear ferromagnets
Zhe Yuan, Kjetil M. D. Hals, Yi Liu +3
The precession and damping of a collinear magnetization displaced from its equilibrium are described by the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. For a noncollinear magnetization, it i…
Spin-orbit-coupling induced domain-wall resistance in diffusive ferromagnets
Zhe Yuan, Yi Liu, Anton A. Starikov +2
We investigate diffusive transport through a number of domain wall (DW) profiles of the important magnetic alloy Permalloy taking into account simultaneously noncollinearity, alloy…
Ni(111)|Graphene|h-BN Junctions as Ideal Spin Injectors
Volodymyr M. Karpan, Petr A. Khomyakov, Gianluca Giovannetti +2
Deposition of graphene on top of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) was very recently demonstrated while graphene is now routinely grown on Ni. Because the in-plane lattice constants o…
