Ultrafast photoinduced phase separation dynamics in Pr0.6Ca0.4MnO3 thin films
The time resolved Magnetooptical Kerr effect in the substrate-strain-induced insulating ferromagnetic phase in (Pr0.6Ca0.4)MnO3 thin films on two different substrates was measured in a magnetic field up to 1.1T. The photoinduced Kerr rotation and ellipticity show remarkably different magnetic-field dependence. From the comparison of the magnetic field dependencies of the photoinduced and static...
متن کاملArtificial control of the bias-voltage dependence of tunnelling-anisotropic magnetoresistance using quantization in a single-crystal ferromagnet
A major issue in the development of spintronic memory devices is the reduction of the power consumption for the magnetization reversal. For this purpose, the artificial control of the magnetic anisotropy of ferromagnetic materials is of great importance. Here, we demonstrate the control of the carrier-energy dependence of the magnetic anisotropy of the density of states (DOS) using the quantum ...
متن کاملElectrical control of ferromagnetic state
We report experiments where magnetization in GaMnAs ferromagnetic semiconductor is manipulated via strain or electric current. In both cases, charge carrier holes become partially polarized due to the anisotropic modification of holes spectra caused by spin–orbit interactions, and this polarization exerts spin torque sufficient to rotate ferromagnetic domains. & 2012 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملUltrafast nonequilibrium spin dynamics in a ferromagnetic thin film
An ultrafast time-resolved magneto-optical pump probe is applied to study spin-relaxation processes in a ferromagnetic CoPt3 alloy film. Following spin-selective photoexcitation with circularly polarized femtosecond pulses, transient Kerr ellipticity tracks the evolution of the nonequilibrium spin system. We isolate two distinct processes: a subpicosecond component due to the relaxation of cohe...
متن کاملGROWTH AND CHARACTERIZATION OF Be-CODOPED GaMnAs
III-V ferromagnetic semiconductor has attracted great attention as a potential application for spintronics due to a successful demonstration of spin injection from ferromagnetic GaMnAs into semiconductor. A conclusion so far in the GaMnAs system is the maximum incorporation of Mn up to ~ 5% with ferromagnetism below ~110 K. Higher Mn incorporation produces MnAs precipitates, and which has rathe...
