Spatially resolved study of backscattering in the quantum spin Hall state
Markus König, Matthias Baenninger, Andrei G. F. Garcia +8
The discovery of the Quantum Spin Hall state, and topological insulators in general, has sparked strong experimental efforts. Transport studies of the Quantum Spin Hall state confi…
Enhancement in spin-torque efficiency by nonuniform spin current generated within a tapered nanopillar spin valve
P. M. Braganca, O. Ozatay, A. G. F. Garcia +3
We examine the effect a spatially non-uniform spin current with a component polarized partially out of the plane has on a low saturation magnetization nanomagnet free layer. Microm…
Spin-Torque Ferromagnetic Resonance Measurements of Damping in Nanomagnets
G. D. Fuchs, J. C. Sankey, V. S. Pribiag +8
We measure the magnetic damping parameter a in thin film CoFeB and permalloy (Py) nanomagnets at room temperature using ferromagnetic resonance driven by microwave frequency spin-t…
Spin-transfer-driven ferromagnetic resonance of individual nanomagnets
J. C. Sankey, P. M. Braganca, A. G. F. Garcia +3
We demonstrate a technique that enables ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements of the normal modes for magnetic excitations in individual nanoscale ferromagnets, smaller in vol…
Time-Resolved Spin Torque Switching and Enhanced Damping in Py/Cu/Py Spin-Valve Nanopillars
N. C. Emley, I. N. Krivorotov, A. G. F. Garcia +4
We report time-resolved measurements of current-induced reversal of a free magnetic layer in Py/Cu/Py elliptical nanopillars at temperatures T = 4.2 K to 160 K. Comparison of the d…
Spin-Transfer Excitations of Permalloy Nanopillars for Large Applied Currents
S. I. Kiselev, J. C. Sankey, I. N. Krivorotov +4
Using measurements of the spectra of microwave-frequency resistance oscillations, we determine the phase diagram of magnetic excitations caused by torques from DC spin-polarized cu…
