Nonstationary spin waves in a single rectangular permalloy microstrip under uniform magnetic excitation

Ferromagnetic resonance modes in a single rectangular Ni80Fe20 microstrip were directly imaged using time-resolved scanning transmission x-ray microscopy combined with a phase-locked ferromagnetic resonance excitation scheme, and the findings were corroborated by micromagnetic simulations. Although under uniform excitation in a single confined microstructure typically standing spin waves are expected, all imaged spin waves showed a…

Direct Imaging of the ac Component of Pumped Spin Polarization with Element Specificity

Spin pumping in a ferromagnet-nonferromagnet heterostructure is directly imaged with spatial resolution as well as element selectivity. The time-resolved detection in scanning transmission x-ray microscopy allows us to directly probe the spatial extent of the ac spin polarization in Co-doped ZnO, which is generated by spin pumping from an adjacent permalloy microstrip. Comparing the relative…
