The phenomenology of magnetic damping is of critical importance for devices that seek to exploit the electronic spin degree of freedom since damping strongly affects the energy required and speed at which a device can operate. However, theory has struggled to quantitatively predict the damping, even in common ferromagnetic materials. This presents a challenge for a broad range of applications in spintronics and spin-orbitronics that depend on materials and structures with ultra-low damping. Such systems enable many experimental investigations that further our theoretical understanding of numerous magnetic phenomena such as damping and spin-transport mediated by chirality and the Rashba effect. Despite this requirement, it is believed that achieving ultra-low damping in metallic ferromagnets is limited due to the scattering of magnons by the conduction electrons. However, we report on a binary alloy of Co and Fe that overcomes this obstacle and exhibits a damping parameter approaching 0.0001, which is comparable to values reported only for ferrimagnetic insulators. We explain this phenomenon by a unique feature of the bandstructure in this system: The density of states exhibits a sharp minimum at the Fermi level at the same alloy concentration at which the minimum in the magnetic damping is found. This discovery provides both a significant fundamental understanding of damping mechanisms as well as a test of theoretical predictions.

We report ultra-low intrinsic magnetic damping in Co$_{text{25}}$Fe$_{text{75}}$ heterostructures, reaching the low $10^{-4}$ regime at room temperature. By using a broadband ferromagnetic resonance technique, we extracted the dynamic magnetic proper
ties of several Co$_{text{25}}$Fe$_{text{75}}$-based heterostructures with varying ferromagnetic layer thickness. By estimating the eddy current contribution to damping, measuring radiative damping and spin pumping effects, we found the intrinsic damping of a 26,nm thick sample to be $$alpha_{mathrm{0}} lesssim 3.18times10^{-4}$. Furthermore, using Brillouin light scattering microscopy we measured spin-wave propagation lengths of up to $(21pm1),mathrm{mu m}$ in a 26 nm thick Co$_{text{25}}$Fe$_{text{75}}$ heterostructure at room temperature, which is in excellent agreement with the measured damping.
We consider electron transport in a nearly half-metallic ferromagnet, in which the minority spin electrons close to the band edge at the Fermi energy are Anderson-localized due to disorder. For the case of spin-flip scattering of the conduction elect
rons due to the absorption and emission of magnons, the Boltzmann equation is exactly soluble to the linear order. From this solution we calculate the temperature dependence of the resistivity due to single magnon processes at sufficiently low temperature, namely $k_BTll D/L^2$, where $L$ is the Anderson localization length and $D$ is the magnon stiffness. And depending on the details of the minority spin density of states at the Fermi level, we find a $T^{1.5}$ or $T^{2}$ scaling behavior for resistivity. Relevance to the doped perovskite manganite systems is discussed.
We investigate the Gilbert damping parameter for rare earth (RE)-transition metal (TM) ferrimagnets over a wide temperature range. Extracted from the field-driven magnetic domain-wall mobility, the Gilbert damping parameter was as low as 0.0072 and w
as almost constant across the angular momentum compensation temperature, starkly contrasting previous predictions that the Gilbert damping parameter should diverge at the angular momentum compensation temperature due to vanishing total angular momentum. Thus, magnetic damping of RE-TM ferrimagnets is not related to the total angular momentum but is dominated by electron scattering at the Fermi level where the TM has a dominant damping role.
The prediction of ultra-low magnetic damping in Co 2 MnZ Heusler half-metal thin-film magnets is explored in this study and the damping response is shown to be linked to the underlying electronic properties. By substituting the Z elements in high cry
stalline quality films (Co 2 MnZ with Z=Si, Ge, Sn, Al, Ga, Sb), electronic properties such as the minority spin band gap, Fermi energy position in the gap and spin polarization can be tuned and the consequence on magnetization dynamics analyzed. The experimental results allow us to directly explore the interplay of spin polarization, spin gap, Fermi energy position and the magnetic damping obtained in these films, together with ab initio calculation predictions. The ultra-low magnetic damping coefficients measured in the range 4.1 10-4-9 10-4 for Co 2 MnSi, Ge, Sn, Sb are the lowest values obtained on a conductive layer and offers a clear experimental demonstration of theoretical predictions on Half-Metal Magnetic Heusler compounds and a pathway for future materials design.
We study spin-scattering asymmetry at the interface of two ferromagnets (FMs) based on a half-metallic Co$_{2}$Fe$_{0.4}$Mn$_{0.6}$Si (CFMS)/CoFe interface. First-principles ballistic transport calculations based on Landauer formula for (001)-CoFe/CF
MS/CoFe indicate strong spin-dependent conductance at the CFMS/CoFe interface, suggesting large interface spin-scattering asymmetry coefficient ($gamma$). Fully epitaxial current-perpendicular-to-plane giant magnetoresistance (CPP-GMR) pseudo spin-valve (PSV) devices involving CoFe/CFMS/Ag/CFMS/CoFe structures exhibit an enhancement in magnetoresistance output owing to the formation of the CFMS/CoFe interface at room temperature (RT). This is well reproduced qualitatively by a simulation based on a generalized two-current series-resistor model with taking the presence of $gamma$ at the CFMS/CoFe interface, half-metallicity of CFMS, and combinations of terminated atoms at the interfaces in the CPP-GMR PSV structure. We show direct evidence for large $gamma$ at a half-metallic FM/FM interface and its impact on CPP-GMR effect even at RT.
