Summary: Previous theory suggested that different monolayers within transition metal ferromagnet thin-films contribute different amounts to the total ferromagnetic damping. This study aimed to investigate if electronic engineering of the higher damping regions through localized doping could reduce the thin-film damping. Theoretical analysis and experimental results for sputtered Co thin-films with locally doped upper and lower surface regions with Cr were presented, showing a reduction in damping with increasing local doping up to 30% Cr, and a further decrease in damping with higher local doping potentially due to changes in the film structure. This work paves the way for the creation of low-damping magnetic thin-films.

Summary: Researchers have found that synthetic ferromagnets have a unique layer structure, where the dynamic response of the ferromagnetic layers is closely related to the difference in magnetization and interlayer coupling. Experimental results demonstrate that conventional acoustic and optical descriptions do not fully capture the complexities of synthetic ferromagnets' dynamics.

Summary: Non-collinear spin structures in [Co/Pt]/Pt/Py films with an additional Pt spacer for coupling control were studied using VNA-FMR and XFMR techniques. Results showed slight pinning of Py dynamic magnetization by [Co/Pt], with observation of PSSW, CSSW, and HSSW states morphing under reduced magnetic field. The CSSW modes are particularly relevant for microwave assisted magnetic recording applications.

Summary: The spin state of Co ions in epitaxial LaCoO3 thin films under tensile strain has been determined to have mixed high-spin and low-spin states, while it is practically a low-spin state under compressive strain. The identification of this spin state ratio explains the origin of ferromagnetism in LaCoO3 films. This study highlights the importance of spin state degrees of freedom and thin-film strain engineering in creating new physical properties that do not exist in bulk materials.

Summary: This study investigates the relation between surface properties of ferromagnetic films and the propagation of spin waves. The frequencies of spin waves are experimentally determined and their relation with surface properties validates and derives parameters of models. Different parameters are varied to test the relation, and the effects of surface properties on spin waves are significant for certain angles of inclination of the applied magnetic field. The results have important implications for defining film thickness and understanding the influence of spin waves.

Summary: Magnetic materials can be used to produce thermoelectric materials using spin-related effects, but a clear understanding of the interrelation between localized magnetic moments (μ(I)), free carriers, and Seebeck coefficient (S) is necessary for efficient material design. In this study, we investigate the influence of μ(I) on the spin-dependent S of model ferromagnetic thin films, allowing independent investigation of μ(I) thermal fluctuations, ordering, and density variation influence. We find that the influence of μ(I) on free carrier polarization is of utmost importance for S: efficient coupling of free carrier spin and localized magnetic moment promotes an increase in S, while spin-dependent relaxation time difference between the two spin-dependent conduction channels leads to a decrease in S. Our findings support new avenues for thermoelectric material design based on spin-related effects in ferromagnetic materials.

Summary: The substitution of iron atoms by chromium in CoFeB films has been proposed to reduce the critical current density J(c) for current-driven magnetization switching in spin transfer torque devices by reducing its magnetization. The effect of Cr on the magnetic damping has been investigated through ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements. It was found that introducing Cr increases the spin-orbit damping while reducing the magnetic relaxation rate. Additionally, the presence of Cr inhibits internal fluctuations of the magnetization, reducing the two-magnon damping.

Summary: The substitution of iron atoms by chromium in CoFeB films has been proposed to reduce the critical current density J(c) for current-driven magnetization switching in spin transfer torque devices by reducing its magnetization. The effect of Cr on the magnetic damping has remained elusive. Ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) measurements were used to study the different mechanisms of FMR damping in Co40Fe40-xCrxB20 thin films. The results showed that the addition of Cr increases the spin-orbit damping but reduces the magnetic relaxation rate.

Summary: This study investigates the tunability of spin waves in Co60Al40-alloyed film with natural light. The results show that the critical angle and ferromagnetic resonance field can be shifted under illumination, leading to changes in magnetic anisotropy. The control of spin-wave resonance by sunlight can be understood by the effective photoelectron-doping-induced change of the surface magnetic anisotropy. The study demonstrates the potential of developing sunlight-tunable magnonics/spintronics devices.

Summary: Magnonics is a burgeoning research field that focuses on utilizing spin waves to transmit, store, and process information, showing significant progress in the past decade. The key challenges include excitation of sub-100 nm wavelength magnons, manipulation on the nanoscale, and creation of sub-micrometre devices using low-Gilbert damping magnetic materials. Magnonics offers advantages such as lower energy consumption, easier integrability, compatibility with CMOS structure, reprogrammability, shorter wavelength, smaller device features, anisotropic properties, negative group velocity, non-reciprocity, and efficient tunability by various external stimuli.

Summary: In this work, we present an efficient numerical method for computing dispersions and mode profiles of spin waves in waveguides with translationally invariant equilibrium magnetization. We extend our finite-element method (FEM) from finite waveguides to infinitely extended mono- and multi-layers with arbitrary spacing and thickness. A one-dimensional line-trace mesh is used to solve the linearized equation of motion as an eigenvalue problem. We introduce interlayer exchange and extend the plane-wave Fredkin-Koehler method for calculating the dipolar potential. The method offers an efficient and versatile tool for calculating spin-wave dispersions in layered magnetic systems.

Summary: The propagation of asymmetric spin waves in magnetic nanostructures has attracted significant attention for its potential applications in magnon-based devices. This study introduces a cylindrical synthetic antiferromagnet as a three-dimensional waveguide design for generating nonreciprocal spin waves. The magnetochiral properties arise from the asymmetric interlayer dipolar coupling and the asymmetric dipolar coupling of the curved membrane. The results demonstrate a notable spin-wave asymmetry in the cylindrical bilayer, allowing for unidirectional wave propagation in a substantial frequency range.
