We present a study of spin pumping efficiency and determine the spin mixing conductance and spin diffusion length in thin bilayer films based on 3d transition metal alloy Fe60Al40. Due to its magnetostructural phase transition, Fe60Al40 can be utilized as a ferromagnetic (FM) or paramagnetic (PM) material at the same temperature depending on its structural order; thus a thin Fe60Al40 film can act as a spin source or a spin sink when interfaced with a paramagnet or a ferromagnet, respectively. Ferromagnetic resonance measurements were performed in a frequency range of 5–35 GHz on bilayer films composed of FM–Fe60Al40/Pd and PM–Fe60Al40/Ni80Fe20 (permalloy). The increase in damping with the thickness of the paramagnetic layer was interpreted as a result of spin pumping into the paramagnet. We determine the spin mixing conductance g P d ↑↓ = (3.8 ± 0.5) × 10 18 m − 2 at the FM–Fe60Al40/Pd interface and the spin diffusion length λ P d = 9.1 ± 2.0 nm in Pd. For the PM–Fe60Al40/permalloy interface, we find a spin mixing conductance g F e A l ↑↓ = (2.1 ± 0.2) × 10 18 m − 2 and a spin diffusion length λ F e A l = 11.9 ± 0.2 nm for PM–Fe60Al40. The demonstrated bi-functionality of the Fe60Al40 alloy in spin pumping structures may be promising for spintronic applications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
