We report a correlation between the spin polarization of the tunneling electrons (TSP) and the magnetic moment of amorphous CoFeB alloys. Such a correlation is surprising since the TSP involves s-like electrons close to the Fermi level (EF), while the magnetic moment mainly arises due to all d-electrons below EF. We show that probing the s and d-bands individually provides clear and crucial evidence for such a correlation to exist through s-d hybridization, and demonstrate the tuneability of the electronic and magnetic properties of CoFeB alloys.

Pure spin current has transfigured the energy-efficient spintronic devices and it has the salient characteristic of transport of the spin angular momentum. Spin pumping is a potent method to generate pure spin current and for its increased efficiency high effective spin-mixing conductance (Geff) and interfacial spin transparency (T) are essential. Here, a giant T is reported in Sub/W(t)/Co20Fe60B20(d)/SiO2(2 nm) heterostructures in beta-tungsten (beta-W) phase by employing all-optical time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect technique. From the variation of Gilbert damping with W and CoFeB thicknesses, the spin diffusion length of W and spin-mixing conductances are extracted. Subsequently, T is derived as 0.81 pm 0.03 for the beta-W/CoFeB interface. A sharp variation of Geff and T with W thickness is observed in consonance with the thickness-dependent structural phase transition and resistivity of W. The spin memory loss and two-magnon scattering effects are found to have negligible contributions to damping modulation as opposed to spin pumping effect which is reconfirmed from the invariance of damping with Cu spacer layer thickness inserted between W and CoFeB. The observation of giant interfacial spin transparency and its strong dependence on crystal structures of W will be important for pure spin current based spin-orbitronic devices.
A new ternary intermetallic compound, namely, YbMn2Sb2, has been synthesized and its magnetic and electrical transport properties have been studied in the temperature range of 2 to 300 K. This compound crystallizes in a trigonal, La2O2S type structur e (space group P3bm1, No. 164) and is found to be ferromagnetically ordered at room temperature. The magnetism is attributed to the ordering of Mn sublattice. M5 xray absorption spectrum of YbMn2Sb2 obtained at room temperature suggests that the valency of Yb in this compound is close to 2. Electrical resistivity of this compound is metal like and a positive magnetoresistance of 13 percent is observed at 5 K in an applied field of 9T.

The magneto-transport properties of nanocomposite C:Co (15 and 40 at.% Co) thin films are investigated. The films were grown by ion beam co-sputtering on thermally oxidized silicon substrates in the temperature range from 200 to 500 degC. Two major e ffects are reported: (i) a large anomalous Hall effect amounting to 2 mu ohm cm, and (ii) a negative magnetoresistance. Both the field-dependent resistivity and Hall resistivity curves coincide with the rescaled magnetization curves, a finding that is consistent with spin-dependent transport. These findings suggest that C:Co nanocomposites are promising candidates for carbon-based Hall sensors and spintronic devices.
The discovery of an ever increasing family of atomic layered magnetic materials, together with the already established vast catalogue of strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and topological systems, calls for some guiding principles to tailor and optimiz e novel spin transport and optical properties at their interfaces. Here we focus on the latest developments in both fields that have brought them closer together and make them ripe for future fruitful synergy. After outlining fundamentals on van der Waals (vdW) magnetism and SOC effects, we discuss how their coexistence, manipulation and competition could ultimately establish new ways to engineer robust spin textures and drive the generation and dynamics of spin current and magnetization switching in 2D materials-based vdW heterostructures. Grounding our analysis on existing experimental results and theoretical considerations, we draw a prospective analysis about how intertwined magnetism and spin-orbit torque (SOT) phenomena combine at interfaces with well-defined symmetries, and how this dictates the nature and figures-of-merit of SOT and angular momentum transfer. This will serve as a guiding role in designing future non-volatile memory devices that utilize the unique properties of 2D materials with the spin degree of freedom.

We have analyzed the atomic arrangements and quantum conductance of silver nanowires generated by mechanical elongation. The surface properties of Ag induce unexpected structural properties, as for example, predominance of high aspect ratio rod-like wires. The structural behavior was used to understand the Ag quantum conductance data and the proposed correlation was confirmed by means of theoretical calculations. These results emphasize that the conductance of metal point contacts is determined by the preferred atomic structures and, that atomistic descriptions are essential to interpret the quantum transport behavior of metal nanostructures.
