Half metallic ferromagnets.
Since its introduction by de Groot and colleagues in the early 1980s [1], the concept of half metallic ferromagnetism has attracted great interest. Idealized, half-metals have only one spin channel for conduction: the spin-polarized band structure exhibits metallic behavior for one spin channel, while the other spin band structure exhibits a gap at the Fermi level. Due to the gap for one spin d...
متن کاملDetermination of the infrared complex magneto-conductivity tensor in itinerant ferromagnets from Faraday and Kerr measurements
We present measurement and analysis techniques that allow the complex magneto-conductivity tensor to be determined from measurements of the complex Faraday (θF) and Kerr (θK) angles. θF and θK are measured in a Ga1−xMnxAs and SrRuO3 films. Thick film transmission and reflection equations are used to convert the complex θF and θK into the complex longitudinal conductivity σxx and the complex tra...
متن کاملLaser-induced torques in metallic ferromagnets
We study laser-induced torques in bcc Fe, hcp Co, and L10 FePt based on first-principles electronic structure calculations and the Keldysh nonequilibrium formalism. We find that the torques have two contributions, one from the inverse Faraday effect (IFE) and one from the optical spin-transfer torque (OSTT). Depending on the ferromagnet at hand and on the quasiparticle broadening the two contri...
متن کاملConductivity of an atomically defined metallic interface.
A mechanically formed electrical nanocontact between gold and tungsten is a prototypical junction between metals with dissimilar electronic structure. Through atomically characterized nanoindentation experiments and first-principles quantum transport calculations, we find that the ballistic conduction across this intermetallic interface is drastically reduced because of the fundamental mismatch...
متن کاملLong-living terahertz magnons in ultrathin metallic ferromagnets.
The main idea behind magnonics is to use the elementary magnetic excitations (magnons) for information transfer and processing. One of the main challenges, hindering the application of ultrafast terahertz magnons in magnonics, has been the short lifetime of these excitations in metallic ferromagnets. Here, we demonstrate that the engineering of the electronic structure of a ferromagnetic metal,...
