被引用回数:0The spin Seebeck effect (SSE) is a phenomenon of thermoelectric generation that occurs within a device consisting of a bilayer of a metal and a ferromagnet. When TbFe
O
(TbIG) is substituted for the ferromagnet, the effect goes to zero at low temperatures, yet it increases to positive values with the application of a magnetic field. This is opposite to the expectation that the SSE should be suppressed by a magnetic field due to the increase in
magnon gap. In this paper, the crystal-field excitations (CFE) in TbIG are calculated within a mean field theory exploiting the parameters of Terbium Gallium Garnet Tb
Fe
O
(TGG) from the neutron-scattering experimental literature. Like TGG, the primitive cell of TbIG hosts twelve Tb sites with six inequivalent magnetic sublattices, but due to the net
-molecular field from the tetrahedral and octahedral Fe ions, these can be classified into two distinct groups, the
and the
sites, which account for the "double umbrella" magnetic structure. We show that when an external magnetic field is applied along the [111] direction of the crystal, the lowest CFE of the
sublattices decreases. As a consequence of the magnetic field dependence of the lowest CFE, we find that at low temperatures the SSE in TbIG can result enhanced by an applied magnetic field.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:0.00(Engineering, Electrical & Electronic)We introduce a simple model for the ferrimagnetic non-collinear "magnetic umbrella" states of rare-earth iron garnets (REIG), common when the rare-earth moments have non-zero orbital angular momentum. The spin-wave excitations are calculated within linear spin wave theory and temperature effects via mean-field theory. By the symmetry of the model, only one rare earth mode hybridizes, inducing a gap at zero wave number and level repulsion at finite frequency. At the compensation point, the hybridization gap closes and finally, as we approach the Nel temperature, the hybridization gap appears to reopen. The chirality of the lowest mode changes its sign around the frequency at which the level repulsion occurs. This is important to estimate the spin current generation in REIGs.

被引用回数:62 パーセンタイル:94.71(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We measure the mode-resolved direction of the precessional motion of the magnetic order, i.e., magnon polarization, via the chiral term of inelastic polarized neutron scattering spectra. The magnon polarization is a unique and unambiguous signature of magnets and is important in spintronics, affecting thermodynamic properties such as the magnitude and sign of the spin Seebeck effect. However, it has never been directly measured in any material until this work. The observation of both signs of magnon polarization in YFe
O
also gives direct proof of its ferrimagnetic nature. The experiments agree very well with atomistic simulations of the scattering cross section.

被引用回数:1 パーセンタイル:11.29(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We examine the enhancement of the spin Hall effect due to resonant skew scattering induced by electron correlations. For single-impurity scattering, local Coulomb correlations may significantly change the observed spin Hall angle. There may be additional effects because of the special atomic environment close to a surface: extra degeneracies compared to the bulk, enhanced correlations that move the relative - or
-levels, and interference effects coming from the lower local dimension. Our results may explain the very large spin Hall angle observed in CuBi alloys. We discuss the impact on the spin Hall effect from cooperative effects, firstly in an itinerant ferromagnet where there is an anomaly near the Curie temperature originating from high-order spin fluctuations. The second case considered is a metallic spin glass, where exchange via slowly fluctuating magnetic moments may lead to the precession of an injected spin current.

被引用回数:4 パーセンタイル:19.87(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We perform a systematical analysis of the spin Hall effect (SHE) in the Cu alloys doped with a series of 5d elements, by the combined approach of density functional theory and Hartree-Fock approximation. We find that not only the spin orbit interactions (SOI) in both the 5d and 6p orbitals, but also the local correlations in the 5d orbitals of the impurities, are decisive on the sign of the spin Hall angle (SHA). Including all of these three factors properly, we predict the SHA for each alloy in the series. The signs of CuIr and CuPt are sensitive to perturbation of the local correlations. This observation is favorable for controlling the sign of the transverse spin Hall voltage.

被引用回数:12 パーセンタイル:61.33(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We have measured spin Hall effects in spin glass metals, CuMnBi alloys, with the spin absorption method in the lateral spin valve structure. Far above the spin glass temperature where the magnetic moments of Mn impurities are randomly frozen, the spin Hall angle of a CuMnBi ternary alloy is as large as that of a CuBi binary alloy. Surprisingly, however, it starts to decrease at about 4
and becomes as little as 7 times smaller at 0.5
. A similar tendency was also observed in anomalous Hall effects in the ternary alloys. We propose an explanation in terms of a simple model considering the relative dynamics between the localized moment and the conduction electron spin.

被引用回数:9 パーセンタイル:36.04(Physics, Applied)We find that the SHA can be dramatically enhanced by Bi impurities close to the Cu surface. The mechanisms of this enhancement are two-fold. One is that the localized impurity state on surface has a decreased hybridization and combined with Coulomb correlation effect. The other comes from the low-dimensional state of conduction electrons on surface, which results in a further enhancement of skew scattering by impurities. Furthermore, we note that a discrepancy in sign of SHA between the experiment and previous theories is simply caused by different definitions of SHA. This re-establishes skew scattering as the essential mechanism underlying the spin Hall effect in CuBi alloys.

The spin Hall angle (SHA) is obtained to be negative without the local correlation effects. After including the local correlation effects of the 5 orbitals of Ir impurities, the SHA becomes positive with realistic correlation parameters and consistent with experiment. Moreover, our analysis shows that the DFT + HF approach is a convenient and general method to study the influence of local correlation effects on the spin Hall effect.

被引用回数:20 パーセンタイル:72.82(Physics, Multidisciplinary)Recently a positive spin Hall angle (SHA) of 0.021, was observed experimentally in nonmagnetic CuIr alloys and attributed predominantly to an extrinsic skew scattering mechanism, while a negative SHA was obtained from ab initio calculations, using consistent definitions of the SHA. We reconsider the SHA in CuIr alloys, with the effects of the local electron correlation U in 5d orbitals of Ir impurities, included by the quantum Monte Carlo method. We found that the SHA is negative if we ignore such local electron correlation, but becomes positive once U approaches a realistic value. This may open up a way to control the sign of the SHA by manipulating the occupation number of impurities.

We explore theoretical explanations for laser pumped experiments, that have established that muonium can be a tool in spintronics for following non-equilibrium spin polarizations of the conduction electrons. In the original experiments on Si the sensitivity was argued to be due to spin exchange with the bound electron in muonium, but in GaAs an effect is seen even in the case of negatively charged muonium. This is more problematic, as spin exchange with a third electron should be weak given the spin singlet state of the two bound electrons of the negative muonium ion. We discuss a mechanism to explain the sensitivity of negatively charged muonium ions to the spin-polarization of semiconductors in terms of the coherent mixing of charge states induced by hybridization with the semiconducting host.

被引用回数:14 パーセンタイル:49.95(Materials Science, Multidisciplinary)We give a theory of the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) in ferromagnetic metals based on skew scattering via collective spin fluctuations. This extends Kondo's theory of the anomalous Hall effect (AHE) to include short-range spin-spin correlations. We find a relation between the ISHE and the four-spin correlations near the Curie temperature . Such four-spin correlations do not contribute to the AHE, which relates to the three-spin correlations. Thus our theory shows an essential difference between the AHE and ISHE, providing an essential complement to Kondo's classic theory of the AHE in metals. We note the relation to skew-scattering mechanisms based on impurity scattering. Our theory can be compared to recent experimental results by Wei et al. for the ISHE in ferromagnetic alloys.

被引用回数:36 パーセンタイル:80.83(Multidisciplinary Sciences)The spin Hall effect (SHE) and its inverse have key roles in spintronic devices as they allow conversion of charge currents to and from spin currents. The conversion efficiency strongly depends on material details, such as the electronic band structure and the nature of impurities. Here we show an anomaly in the inverse SHE in weak ferromagnetic NiPd alloys near their Curie temperatures with a shape independent of material details, such as Ni concentrations. By extending Kondo's model for the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), we explain the observed anomaly as originating from the second-order nonlinear spin fluctuation of Ni moments. This brings to light an essential symmetry difference between the SHE and the AHE, which reflects the first-order nonlinear fluctuations of local moments. Our finding opens up a new application of the SHE, by which a minuscule magnetic moment can be detected.

The spin Hall effect, which converts the injected longitudinal charge current into the transverse spin current via the spin-orbit interaction, is crucial for the development of spintronic devices. The sign of the spin Hall angle (SHA) describes the direction of the induced transverse current. A positive SHA of 2.1% was observed experimentally in the CuIr alloys. Our calculations showed that local correlation effects of the 5d orbitals of Ir impurities correct the electron distribution among different orbitals, which can explain the positive sign of SHA in physical terms. This also opens up a way to control the sign of SHA by manipulating the local correlation strength or the electron occupation number of the impurities. We therefore checked different 5d elements as impurities in the Cu alloys, and predicted candidates other than CuIr alloys as potential switches of the sign of the SHA.

We give a theory of the Inverse Spin Hall Effect in ferromagnetic metals near the Curie temperature. We do this by extending Kondo's theory of the Anomalous Hall Effect in ferromagnetic metals to include the short range spin-spin correlations. We find a novel relation between the Inverse Spin Hall Effect and a second order nonlinear spin fluctuation in ferromagnetic metals near Curie temperature Tc, which has been hidden for about 50 years, since 1962. In that year Kondo gave a relation between the Anomalous Hall Effect and the first order nonlinear spin fluctuation in pure ferromagnetic metals near Tc. Our results show an essential difference between the Anomalous and Inverse Spin Hall Effects in terms of the spin correlations that are probed. Our theory can be compared to recent experiments in ferromagnetic alloys.

We show theoretically a novel route to obtain giant room temperature spin Hall effect (SHE) using surface-assisted skew scattering. By a combined approach of density functional theory and the quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) method, we have studied the SHE due to a Pt impurity in different Au hosts. We show that the spin Hall angle (SHA) could become larger than 0.1 on the Au (111) surface, and decreases by about a half on the Au (001) surface, while it is small in bulk Au. The QMC results show that the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of the Pt impurity on the Au (001) and Au (111) surfaces is enhanced, because the Pt 5d levels are lifted to the Fermi level due to the valence fluctuations. In addition, there are two SOI channels on the Au (111) surface, while only one for Pt either on the Au (001) surface or in bulk Au.
