Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Voltage control of magnetic properties is considered to be the key for power-efficient spin devices.To achieve this, the microscopic origins of magnetic properties including magnetic damping and anisotropy should be elucidated. It is theoretically pointed out that one of the important factors is the electron scattering. We have investigated the contribution of electron scattering to the damping in Co-doped Fe single-crsytal thin films whose scattering rates are controlled by annealing or varying the temperature.We have found that, when the electron scattering rate increases, the magnetic damping is reduced at low temperature (77K), while it is enhanced at room temperature.The opposite dependencies of the magnetic damping on the electron scattering rate at low and room temperatures agree with the theoretical studies based on the linear response.
