The interaction between strain and spin has received intensive attention in the scientific community due to its abundant physical phenomena and huge technological impact. Until now, there is no experimental report on ultra-high frequency magnetic resonance through the strain-spin coupling for any technologically relevant perpendicular magnetic material. Here we report the experimental detection of the acoustic strain waves that have a response time on the order of 10 picoseconds in perpendicular magnetic [Co/Pd]n multilayers via a femtosecond laser pulse excitation. Through direct measurements of acoustic strain waves, we observe an ultra-high frequency magnetic resonance up to 60 GHz in [Co/Pd]n multilayers. We further report a theoretical model of the strain-spin interaction. Our model reveals that the energy could be transferred efficiently from the strain to the spins and well explains the existence of a steady resonance state through exciting the spin system. The physical origins of the resonance between strain waves and magnetic precession and the requested conditions for obtaining magnetic resonance within thin magnetic films have also been discussed after thorough analysis. These combined results point out a potential pathway to enable an extremely high frequency (EHF) magnetic resonance through the strain-spin coupling.

High perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), a property needed for nanoscale spintronic applications, is rare in oxide conductors. We report the observation of a PMA up to 0.23 MJ/m3 in modestly strained epitaxial NiCo2O4 (NCO) films which are room-temperature ferrimagnetic conductors. Spin-lattice coupling manifested as magnetoelastic effect was found as the origin of the PMA. The in-plane xx-yy states of Co on tetrahedral sites play crucial role in the magnetic anisotropy and spin-lattice coupling with an energy scale of 1 meV/f.u. The elucidation of the microscopic origin paves a way for engineering oxide conductors for PMA using metal/oxygen hybridizations.
The olivine compound Mn2GeO4 is shown to feature both a ferroelectric polarization and a ferromagnetic magnetization that are directly coupled and point along the same direction. We show that a spin spiral generates ferroelectricity (FE), and a canted commensurate order leads to weak ferromagnetism (FM). Symmetry suggests that the direct coupling between the FM and FE is mediated by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions that exist only in the ferroelectric phase, controlling both the sense of the spiral rotation and the canting of the commensurate structure. Our study demonstrates how multi-component magnetic structures found in magnetically-frustrated materials like Mn2GeO4 provide a new route towards functional materials that exhibit coupled FM and FE.
Stripe domains are studied in perpendicular magnetic anisotropy films nanostructured with a periodic thickness modulation that induces the lateral modulation of both stripe periods and inplane magnetization. The resulting system is the 2D equivalent of a strained superlattice with properties controlled by interfacial misfit strain within the magnetic stripe structure and shape anisotropy. This allows us to observe, experimentally for the first time, the continuous structural transformation of a grain boundary in this 2D magnetic crystal in the whole angular range. The magnetization reversal process can be tailored through the effect of misfit strain due to the coupling between disclinations in the magnetic stripe pattern and domain walls in the in-plane magnetization configuration.
We demonstrate robust interface strain-induced perpendicular magnetic anisotropy in atomically flat ferrimagnetic insulator Tm3Fe5O12 films grown with pulsed laser deposition on substituted-Gd3Ga5O12 substrate which maximizes the tensile strain at the interface. In bilayers consisting of Pt and TIG, we observe large squared Hall hysteresis loops over a wide range of thicknesses of Pt at room temperature. When a thin Cu layer is inserted between Pt and TIG, the Hall hysteresis magnitude decays but stays finite as the thickness of Cu increases up to 5 nm. However, if the Cu layer is placed atop Pt instead, the Hall hysteresis magnitude is consistently larger than when the Cu layer with the same thickness is inserted in between for all Cu thicknesses. These results suggest that both the proximity-induced ferromagnetism and spin current contribute to the anomalous Hall effect.
Magnetic nanoparticles of gamma-Fe2O3 coated by organic molecules and suspended in liquid and solid matrices, as well as a non-diluted magnetic fluid have been studied by electron magnetic resonance (EMR) at 77-380 K. Slightly asymmetric spectra observed at room temperature become much broader, symmetric, and shift to lower fields upon cooling. An additional narrow spectral component (with the line-width of 30 G) is found in the diluted samples, its magnitude obeying the Arrhenius law with the activation temperature of about 850 K. The longitudinal spin-relaxation time, T1 >> 10 ns, was determined by the specially developed modulation method. Angular dependence of the EMR signal position in field-freezing samples unambiguously points to the domination of the uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. Substantial alignment is achieved in moderate freezing fields of 4-5 kG, suggesting formation of dipolar-coupled chains consisting from several particles separated by organic nanolayers. The shift and broadening of the spectrum upon cooling are ascribed to the role of the surface layer, which is considered with taking into acount the strong surface-related anisotropy. To describe the overall spectrum shape, a quantization model is used which includes summation of the resonances corresponding to varios orientations of the particle magnetic moment. This approach, supplemented with some phenomenological assumptions, provides satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.
