An essential property of magnetic devices is the relaxation rate in magnetic switching which depends strongly on the damping in the magnetisation dynamics. It was recently measured that damping depends on the magnetic texture and, consequently, is a non-local quantity. The damping enters the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation as the phenomenological Gilbert damping parameter $alpha$, that does not, in a straight forward formulation, account for non-locality. Efforts were spent recently to obtain Gilbert damping from first principles for magnons of wave vector $mathbf{q}$. However, to the best of our knowledge, there is no report about real space non-local Gilbert damping $alpha_{ij}$. Here, a torque-torque correlation model based on a tight binding approach is applied to the bulk elemental itinerant magnets and it predicts significant off-site Gilbert damping contributions, that could be also negative. Supported by atomistic magnetisation dynamics simulations we reveal the importance of the non-local Gilbert damping in atomistic magnetisation dynamics. This study gives a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the magnetic moments and dissipation processes in real magnetic materials. Ways of manipulating non-local damping are explored, either by temperature, materials doping or strain.

We present an ab initio theory of the Gilbert damping in substitutionally disordered ferromagnetic alloys. The theory rests on introduced nonlocal torques which replace traditional local torque operators in the well-known torque-correlation formula a
nd which can be formulated within the atomic-sphere approximation. The formalism is sketched in a simple tight-binding model and worked out in detail in the relativistic tight-binding linear muffin-tin orbital (TB-LMTO) method and the coherent potential approximation (CPA). The resulting nonlocal torques are represented by nonrandom, non-site-diagonal and spin-independent matrices, which simplifies the configuration averaging. The CPA-vertex corrections play a crucial role for the internal consistency of the theory and for its exact equivalence to other first-principles approaches based on the random local torques. This equivalence is also illustrated by the calculated Gilbert damping parameters for binary NiFe and FeCo random alloys, for pure iron with a model atomic-level disorder, and for stoichiometric FePt alloys with a varying degree of L10 atomic long-range order.
The modification of the magnetization dissipation or Gilbert damping caused by an inhomogeneous magnetic structure and expressed in terms of a wave vector dependent tensor $underline{alpha}(vec{q})$ is investigated by means of linear response theory.
A corresponding expression for $underline{alpha}(vec{q})$ in terms of the electronic Green function has been developed giving in particular the leading contributions to the Gilbert damping linear and quadratic in $q$. Numerical results for realistic systems are presented that have been obtained by implementing the scheme within the framework of the fully relativistic KKR (Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker) band structure method. Using the multilayered system (Cu/Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$/Pt)$_n$ as an example for systems without inversion symmetry we demonstrate the occurrence of non-vanishing linear contributions. For the alloy system bcc Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_x$ having inversion symmetry, on the other hand, only the quadratic contribution is non-zero. As it is shown, this quadratic contribution does not vanish even if the spin-orbit coupling is suppressed, i.e. it is a direct consequence of the non-collinear spin configuration.
We report a strong enhancement of the efficacy of the spin Hall effect (SHE) of Pt for exerting anti-damping spin torque on an adjacent ferromagnetic layer by the insertion of $approx$ 0.5 nm layer of Hf between a Pt film and a thin, < 2 nm, Fe$_{60}
$Co$_{20}$B$_{20}$ ferromagnetic layer. This enhancement is quantified by measurement of the switching current density when the ferromagnetic layer is the free electrode in a magnetic tunnel junction. The results are explained as the suppression of spin pumping through a substantial decrease in the effective spin-mixing conductance of the interface, but without a concomitant reduction of the ferromagnet s absorption of the SHE generated spin current.
A method with which to calculate the Gilbert damping parameter from a real-space electronic structure method is reported here. The anisotropy of the Gilbert damping with respect to the magnetic moment direction and local chemical environment is calcu
lated for bulk and surfaces of Fe$_{50}$Co$_{50}$ alloys from first principles electronic structure in a real space formulation. The size of the damping anisotropy for Fe$_{50}$Co$_{50}$ alloys is demonstrated to be significant. Depending on details of the simulations, it reaches a maximum-minimum damping ratio as high as 200%. Several microscopic origins of the strongly enhanced Gilbert damping anisotropy have been examined, where in particular interface/surface effects stand out, as do local distortions of the crystal structure. Although theory does not reproduce the experimentally reported high ratio of 400% [Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 117203 (2019)], it nevertheless identifies microscopic mechanisms that can lead to huge damping anisotropies.
A damping-like spin orbit torque (SOT) is a prerequisite for ultralow power spin logic devices. Here, we report on the damping-like SOT in just one monolayer of the conducting transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) TaS$_2$ interfaced with a NiFe (Py)
ferromagnetic layer. The charge-spin conversion efficiency is found to be 0.25$pm$0.03 and the spin Hall conductivity (2.63 $times$ 10$^5$ $frac{hbar}{2e}$ $Omega^{-1}$ m$^{-1}$) is found to be superior to values reported for other TMDs. The origin of this large damping-like SOT can be found in the interfacial properties of the TaS$_2$/Py heterostructure, and the experimental findings are complemented by the results from density functional theory calculations. The dominance of damping-like torque demonstrated in our study provides a promising path for designing next generation conducting TMD based low-powered quantum memory devices.
