  • Co-planar waveguide ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy of cobalt/platinum superlattice metamaterials

    Abstract

    We study cobalt/platinum (Co/Pt) superlattices by means of ferromagnetic resonance spectroscopy in the frequency domain. The magnetization easy-axis of superlattices, which lies in a plane of the film with Co layers of 1.5 and 1.2 nm thickness, changes to the direction perpendicular to the film surface with Co layers of 0.9 and 0.6 nm thickness. As the Co layer thickness decreases from 0.9 to 0.6 nm, the Gilbert damping parameter significantly increases while the g-value is almost constant. As the Pt layer thickness decreases from 0.6 to 0.3 nm in the superlattices with 0.9 nm thick Co layers, the damping parameter slightly decreases. The present study demonstrates that the Co/Pt superlattices with 0.9 nm thick Co layers and 0.3 nm thick Pt layers are suitable for time-varying magnetic metamaterials realizing a larger magnetic permeability modulation.

  • Direct detection and stochastic analysis on thermally activated domain-wall depinning events in micropatterned Nd-Fe-B hot-deformed magnets

    Although the magnetization reversal process in the permanent magnets has long been studied, it has not been fully revealed. The recent progress of the computational science realizes the atomistic calculations for the thermally activated magnetization reversal process in permanent magnets. In contrast, the experimental study on the magnetization reversal has remain to be the macroscopic evaluation. In this study, Nd-Fe-B hot-deformed magnets are micropatterned, and a staircase-like magnetization curve corresponding to the elemental domain-wall depinning event at each grain boundary is successfully observed. Each elemental domain-wall depinning event fluctuates with respect to thermal activation, and the stochastic analysis based on the Neel-Arrhenius model gives the energy barrier parameters H-0 and E-0 of each depinning event, which are the intrinsic domain-wall depinning field and energy barrier height, respectively. Three types of Nd-Fe-B hot-deformed magnets with different coercivities are adopted for this stochastic analysis. As a result, E-0 exhibits very little dependence on H-0, and its slope becomes steeper for the lower-coercivity magnet. The stochastic micromagnetics simulation based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for the two-grain model with various inter-grain exchange coupling reproduces the experimentally observed relationship between E-0 and H-0. Moreover, the behavior for the lower-coercivity magnet can be explained by assuming the presence of a low magnetic anisotropy layer on the grain surface. (C) 2020 Acta Materialia Inc.

  • In Situ Study of Molecular Doping of Chlorine on MoS2 Field Effect Transistor Device in Ultrahigh Vacuum Conditions

    We report a precise measurement of the sensor behavior of the field effect transistor (FET) formed with the MoS2 channel when the channel part is exposed to Cl2 gas. The gas exposure and the electrical measurement of the MoS2 FET were executed with in situ ultrahigh-vacuum (UHV) conditions in which the surface analysis techniques were equipped. This makes it possible to detect how much sensitivity the MoS2 FET can provide and understand the surface properties. With the Cl2 gas exposure to the channel, the plot of the drain current versus the gate voltage (Id-Vg curve) shifts monotonically toward the positive direction of Vg, suggesting that the adsorbate acts as an electron acceptor. The Id-Vg shifts are numerically estimated by measuring the onset of Id (threshold voltage, Vth) and the mobility as a function of the dosing amounts of the Cl2 gas. The behaviors of both the Vth shift and the mobility with the Cl2 dosing amount can be fitted with the Langmuir adsorption kinetics, which is typically seen in the uptake curve of molecule adsorption onto well-defined surfaces. This can be accounted for by a model where an impinging molecule occupies an empty site with a certain probability, and each adsorbate receives a certain amount of negative charge from the MoS2 surface up to the monolayer coverage. The charge transfer makes the Vth shifts. In addition, the mobility is reduced by the enhancement of the Coulomb scattering for the electron flow in the MoS2 channel by the accumulated charge. From the thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) measurement and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we concluded that the adsorbate that is responsible for the change of the FET property is the Cl atom that is dissociated from the Cl2 molecule. The monotonic shift of Vth with the coverage suggests that the MoS2 device sensor has a good sensitivity to detect 10-3 monolayers (ML) of adsorption corresponding to the ppb level sensor with an activation time of 1 s.
