MaHoJeRo Publication Highlight in Nature

Conventional devices using current CMOS based technologies have the unwelcome side effects of getting too hot and being limited in their speed, operating at GHz frequencies. Eventually, this is slowing down the progress of information technology. In the last years, the emerging field of “magnon spintronics” aimed at using insulating magnets capable of carrying magnetic waves, known as magnons, to solve these problems. Magnons are able to carry information at increased speeds without the production of excess heat. However, experimental observations had so far been limited to ferromagnetic materials. We have demonstrated that magnons can also efficiently carry spin information in antiferromagnets, the largest group of magnetic materials. This class of material has several crucial advantages over ferromagnetic components as they are stable and unaffected by external magnetic fields, a key requirement for future data storage. Additionally, antiferromagnet based devices can be potentially operated thousands of times faster than current technologies, as their intrinsic dynamics are in the THz range. As a result, antiferromagnetic magnons could thus be used in future ultra-fast and low power technological devices.

Publication Highlight on Topological Spin Hall Effect in Antiferromagnetic Syrmions

Partners at Tohoku University have a new publication in Physical Review Letters on the transport properties associated with Skyrmionic spin-textures in antiferromagnetic materials. The theory work demonstrates that the particular non-trivial magnetic texture of such antiferromagnetic skyrmions promotes a nonvanishing topological spin-Hall effect on the electrons, which also leads to an improvement of the mobility of the Skyrmions. The effect can be tailored with the skyrmion size and the strength of the disorder, opening promising avenues for engineering the effect for future applications. More information can be found here.

Recent Research Highlights on Antiferromagnetic Spintronics

In two recent research highlights, we have investigated the spin transport and spin Hall magnetoresistance (SMR) of antiferromagnetic NiO(001) based systems. The projects are collaborations with the group of Prof. Saitoh at Tohoku University and include experimental work in the group of Prof. Mathias Kläui and theoretical work from the group of Prof. Jairo Sinova, both from Mainz. The results reveal that the growth conditions are vital for the spin transport in NiO, even for fully epitaxial systems. Furthermore it is shown that it is possible to electrically detect the Neel vector direction in the system which is particularly exciting for future spintronics applications based on antiferromagnetic materials. The work is published in Physical Review B, including as an editor's suggestion, and can be found via the following links: Spin Transport and SMR.

Publication Highlight in Nature Communications

In a large collaboration including researchers from Mainz and Tohoku, scientists have used terahertz spectroscopy to reveal the initial stages of the spin Seebeck effect with exceptionally fast sub 30 fs temporal resolution. The results reveal that the spin Seebeck effect generates a spin current on the same 100 fs time scale on which the metal electrons thermalize. This observation shows that efficient spin transfer critically relies on carrier multiplication and is driven by conduction electrons scattering off the metal-insulator interface. More information is available in the publication here.

Publication Highlight in Nature Materials

Researchers at Tohoku and Mainz have made a significant breakthrough in the search for new ways to control spin currents for potential device applications. They developed special tri-layer structures consisting of an antiferromagnetic chromium oxide layer between a ferrimagnetic insulating yttrium iron garnate layer and a heavy platinum layer. The spin current transmission across the structure was investigated as a function of the magnetic field and temperature. Strong changes in the transmission were observed on crossing the Neel temperature of the antiferromagnet or on applying a magnetic field. Effects up to 500% were observed near room temperature, demonstrating the action of a spin-current switch. The work is published in Nature Materials. More information can be found here.

Publication Highlight in Nature Communications

The implementation of logic operations and thus information processing by means of spin wave (magnon) spin currents is a fundamental goal of the emerging research field of magnon spintronics. In contrast to electrical currents, on which today's information technology is based, magnon spin currents do not conduct electrical charges but rather magnetic momenta. So far, expeerimental demonstrations of magnon logic - e.g. a magnon transistor or a majority gate - were based on either the manipulation or superposition of spin waves during the propagation phase. In a collaboration including MaHoJeRo partners from the groups of Prof. Mathias Kläui in Mainz and Prof. Eiji Saitoh from Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, we are now able to add a further element to the construction set of magnon logic, directly at the detection site of magnon spin currents. In a ferroic spin valve structure including insulating as well as metallic ferromagnets and antiferromagnets it was possible to demonstrate a magnon detection efficiency which depends on the magnetic configuration of the spin valve. In that manner, the suppression or transmission of the incoming magnon signal can be controlled.

An international team, including researchers from Mainz and Tohoku, have investigated spin transport across antiferromagnets induced by the spin Seebeck effect. In the work the magnonic spin currents are theoretically studied using atomistic spin dynamics simulations. The results are compared to experimental measurements in the yttrium iron garnate / iridium magnanese / platinum system, revealing new insights into the spin transport in these types of system. The results are published in Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics.

Felix Fuhrmann awarded best bachelor thesis for his work done at Tohoku University

Congratulations to Felix Fuhrmann from Mainz, who has been awarded the best-bachelor thesis for his work carried out during his MaHoJeRo funded research stay at Tohoku university. The thesis, entitled "Magnetothermal and spin transport effects in magnetic multilayers", investigates magnon transport in the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) / cobalt oxide / cobalt system. In the work, spin currents are generated from the YIG layer by spin-pumping which are then transmitted through the structure and detected. The transmitted signal is found to depend sensitively on the alignment of the magnetic layers, showing a magnon spin valve behaviour. The work is currently under review at Nature Communications. A preprint can be found on arXiv:1706.07592 .

Skyrmion stability revealed by innovative multiscale simulation approach

MaHoJeRo researchers from the universities of both Tohoku and Mainz have investigated the stability of skyrmion spin textures using an innovative modelling approach. Skyrmions are particularly stable topological spin structures with potential applications in devices such as racetrack-style magnetic memories. However in contrast to naive expectations, they do not have an infinite topological protection but rather there are certain energy barriers that exist for their annihilation. The present work investigates the skyrmion stability using the previously developed multiscale simulation approach. In particular the authors are able to demonstrate a scheme to delete skyrmions, which is a key stage of device operation, by using tailored pulses of spin-polarized current. The research is published in Physical Review B.

Antiferromagnetic spintronics is in particular becoming a very exciting field at the moment with antiferromagnets displaying a large number of very attractive attributes with respect to device applications such as magnetic memories based on magnetic domain wall motion. The here developed formalism allows one to solve various problems of both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic domain wall dynamics and extend it to different geometries. The research is published in Physical Review B.

New Insights into Spin Hall Magnetoresistance

An international team of researchers, including MaHoJeRo partners from Mainz and Tohoku Universities, have gained new insights into the phenomenon of spin-Hall magnetoreistance (SMR) in systems consisting of heavy-metal, antiferromagnet and magnetic insulator trilayers. SMR is a recently discovered addition to the broad family of magnetoresistance effects which are instrumental in applications for sensing magnetic fields and as a means to electrically read-out the magnetic state of a system. When a current flows through a heavy metal like Pt it generates a spin current via the spin Hall effect. In SMR, the absorption/reflection of this spin current is different depending on the magnetic state of the overlayer, leading to a measurable difference in the effective resistance of the system. The present work helps to explain new features of the effect seen for systems containing antiferromagnetic NiO layers via a systematic temperature and thickness dependent study. The research is published in Physical Review Letters.

Publication Highlight in Nature Physics including MaHoJeRo partners

One step ahead towards new magnetic storage devices : Fundamental research in the field of magnetic skyrmions proves suitability of thin film systems for applications and presents a new aspect of skyrmion dynamics.

The concept of a magnetic Racetrack Memory, originally proposed by Stuart Parkin (IBM/Halle) in 2008, is one of the current design ideas for future data storage devices. The conceptual device consists of a magnetic stripe, the racetrack, on which the magnetic bits are moved by current due to spin torque effects. No moving parts are required allowing for high speed and low power operation. Using magnetic skyrmions as information carriers might turn out to be a significant improvement, which could increase the data stability and reliability of the devices. The international collaboration which includes MaHoJeRo researchers from both Mainz and Tohoku has demonstrated a billion fold reproducible and fast skyrmion displacement due to current pulses, which is a key requirement for any application. Furthermore, the investigated dynamics turned out to be more complex than originally expected, highlighting that current theoretical descriptions are not sufficient to explain the skyrmion motion.

Joint Publication in PRB on a New Approach to Simulating Magnetic Nanostructures

A collaborative work involving SpinNet researchers from Mainz and Germany have today published a new approach to simulate the dynamic properties of spin structures that vary on small length scales. Micromagnetic simulations are an invaluable tool for spintronics researchers to understand the important dynamic behaviour of magnetic systems, such as magnetic switching mechanisms and the propagation of small magnetic textures including domain walls and skyrmions. However while real physical systems are based on discrete atoms, simulating such a discrete lattice for the large structures typically studied takes significant computational power and is prohibitively time consuming. As such, the micromagnetic model is often implemented where the magnetization is treated as a continuous quantity. Yet the reliability of such an approach drastically decreases for certain interesting spin structures exhibiting large gradients of the magnetization. In order to marry the advantages of these two approaches, the researchers have developed a multiscale model approach for their simulations where the software can be adapted to the particular spin structure present, using an atomistic Heisenberg model to describe finescale regions of the structure and a micromagnetic model for the larger regions where the magnetization changes more gradually. The research is published in Physical Review B.

Joint Publication in Nature Communications: New findings on magnetic spin waves

An international team of researchers involving SpinNet researchers of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and Tohoku University in Japan gained new insights into magnetic spin waves. Spin waves can evolve in electrically non-conducting materials given a specific temperature gradient and then be converted into electrical energy in an adjacent metallic layer. Thus, thermal energy can be converted into electrical energy. This recently discovered principle allows to think of new ways to recover waste heat and can improve a great variety of processes to be more energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable.

The resulting research paper was published in Nature Communications.

Spintronics with Antiferromagnets Workshop & International Workshop Spintronics

Spintronics with Antiferromagnets

Antiferromagnets are spin-symmetry broken ground states that, in contrast to ferromagnets, lack a macroscopic magnetization since the dipolar fields of their staggered spin configurations average to zero. Antiferromagnets are technologically important for exchange-biasing ferromagnets, but only recently they have been recognized to be interesting materials to design active components in spintronic devices such as spin-wave logic gates. For example, antiferromagnets have no cross-talk stray fields, in antiferromagnetic semiconductors the carrier concentration can be controlled, antiferromagnetic domain walls can be engineered, the anisotropic tunneling magnetoresistance (AMR) is substantial, and the antiferromagnetic order parameter can be switched by spin-transfer torques and ultra-fast by lasers.

This workshop will bring together experts in this emerging field. It will cover all aspects of the spintronics with antiferromagnets, including theory, computational material science, and experiments.

Spin Orbit Coupling and Spin Mechanics Workshop

The 29th REIMEI and ERATO-SQR workshop focused on effects of the spin-orbit interaction and the coupling of the spin and lattice degrees of freedom in magnetic nanostructures.

The electrical and thermal actuation of the magnetization of insulators with extremely high quality factors of the magnetization dynamics has focused attention on the bosonic degrees of freedom in spintronics and the importance of the spin-lattice and spin-rotation couplings.

Summer Workshop "Charge and Spin Transport in Non-Metallic Systems and Confined Geometries "

Bildlink

The summer school aims at highlighting the current state of investigations on the charge and spin transport in non-metallic organic and inorganic materials as well as in confined geometries. This school will present the research activities on the transport phenomena over the past decade from an experimental and theoretical point of view. Charge and spin transport in non-metallic materials is a challenging and interdisciplinary field. This is due to the wide variety of transport regimes, the crucial role played by defects, chemical environment, thermal fluctuations, mesoscopic and microscopic morphology of the material. The electronic states themselves can be delocalized (bandlike or small polaron models), strongly localized (hopping models, or large polaron) or dynamically localized by the adiabatic coupling with the nuclear structure and the surrounding environment (DNA, Liquid Crystals). Important challenges involve the understanding, and also the improvement of electronic transport in these materials. Thus, an interdisciplinary approach spanning from synthetic chemistry to condensed matter physics will be required. Progress in the field requires increased communication between the physics community studying these phenomena either theoretically or using model systems, and the materials chemistry community.

Topics

  • Synthesis of conducting polymers and organic molecules
  • Charge and Spin Transport in organic materials from DC to THz
  • Magnetotransport effects in organic materials and graphene
  • Low dimensional charge and spin transport
  • Single molecule electronics and transport across point contacts
  • Transport in semiconducting nanowiresand organic nanostructured elements

Spin Mechanics 2 Workshop

According to Noether’s theorem rotational symmetry implies conservation of angular momentum. If in a condensed matter system the magnetization and therefore intrinsic (spin) angular momentum of the many-body electron wave function varies in time, it must be compensated by an equivalent change in the angular momentum of the embedding lattice. This coupling between spin and magnetization is the subject of the field of Spin Mechanics.The workshop will cover all aspects of spin mechanics including the following topics:

  • Acoustically induced spin pumping.
  • Mechanical control of magnetic anisotropy
  • Einstein, de Haas, and Sagnac effects in nanostructures.
  • Spin currents by rotation
  • Mechanical spin detection
