Ferromagnetic side layers sandwiching a nonmagnetic spacer as a metallic trilayer has become a pivotal platform for achieving spintronic devices. Recent experiments demonstrate that manipulating the width or the nature of conducting spacer…
We demonstrate, using computer simulations and a non-equilibrium Greens function approach, that the sign of the out-of-equilibrium interlayer exchange coupling (ooeIEC) can change in the presence of an externally applied electrical bias.…
Interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two magnetic layers sandwiched by a nonmagnetic spacer layer plays a critical role in shaping the magnetic properties of such heterostructures. The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect has been…
We describe a systematic study of the exchange coupling between a magnetically hard metallic ferromagnet (MnAs) and a magnetically soft ferromagnetic semiconductor (GaMnAs) in bilayer and trilayer heterostructures. An exchange spring model…
The interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) of two local moment ferromagnetic layers separated by a non-magnetic spacer layer (M/N/M multilayer) is studied using the modified RKKY method along with the s-f model. The IEC exhibits oscillatory…
We clarify the role of quantum-well states in magnetic trilayer systems from majority carrier in the ferromagnetic and all carriers in the antiferromagnetic configurations. In addition to numerical and analytic calculations, heuristic…
Magnetic thin films at ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) leak angular momentum, which may be absorbed by adjacent layers. This phenomenon, known as spin pumping, is manifested by an increase in the resonance linewidth ($\Delta H$), and the…
We have found that some periods of interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) oscillations as a function of cap-layer (CL) thickness may be suppressed if the in-plane extremal spanning vectors of the cap- and ferromagnet-materials Fermi surfaces do…
Interlayer exchange couplings were examined for Co2FeAl0.5Si0.5(CFAS)/Cr/CFAS trilayered films grown on MgO (001) single crystal and thermally oxidized Si substrates. The films were (001) epitaxial on MgO and (110) textured polycrystalline…
We propose an electric-field-controlled mechanism for magnetization switching assisted solely by the interlayer-exchange coupling (IEC) between the fixed and the free magnets, which are separated by two oxide barriers sandwiching a spacer…
We study the influence of collective magnetic excitations on the interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) in metallic multilayers. The results are compared to other models that explain the temperature dependence of the IEC by mechanisms within…
We present a first-principles study to understand the phenomena of interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/Nb multilayers using the linearized-muffin-tin-orbitals method within the generalized gradient approximation. We find that the exchange…
The manipulation of the antiferromagnetic interlayer coupling in the epitaxial Fe/Cr/Fe(001) trilayer system by moderate 5 keV He ion beam irradiation has been investigated experimentally. It is shown that even for irradiation with very low…
The antisymmetric-type long-range exchange interaction between two ferromagnetic layers through a nonmagnetic layer, called antisymmetric interlayer exchange coupling (AIEC), has recently been discovered and attracted much attention. This…
We present a study of the proximity effect between a ferromagnet and a paramagnetic metal of varying disorder. Thin beryllium films are deposited onto a 5 nm-thick layer of the ferromagnetic insulator EuS. This bilayer arrangement induces…
We investigate the interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/MgO/Fe and Fe/MgO/Co systems with magnetic Fe nanoclusters embedded in the MgO spacer. Samples are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and utilize wedged MgO films to independently…
The interlayer exchange coupling in Fe/MgO(001) superlattices is found to increase exponentially with decreasing temperature. Around 150~K, the field induced response changes from discrete switching, governed by field-driven domain…
Forcing systems though fast non-equilibrium phase transitions offers the opportunity to study new states of quantum matter that self-assemble in their wake. Here we study the quantum interference effects of correlated electrons confined in…
The interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) between two ferromagnetic (FM) layers separated by a non-magnetic (NM) spacer layer gives rise to different types of coupling with the variation of spacer layer thickness. When the NM is metallic, the…
The exchange bias (EB) effect, arising from interfacial coupling between ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AF) layers, induces a unidirectional magnetic anisotropy and underpins a wide range of spintronic functionalities. Extending…
