Field- and temperature-modulated spin diode effect in a GMR nanowire with dipolar coupling

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Francesco Antonio Vetrò

The magnetization dynamics of single Co/Cu/Co spin valves, embedded in electrodeposited nanowires of 30 nm avarage diameter, was observed using the spin-diode effect. The electrically-detected magnetic resonances were compared when using modulation of eith ...

Thermal spin torques in magnetic insulators

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Haiming Yu, Francesco Antonio Vetrò, Ping Che, Yi Zhang, Sa Tu, Cheng Zhao, Yao Zhang

The damping of spin waves transmitted through a two-port magnonic device implemented on a yttrium iron garnet thin film is shown to be proportional to the temperature gradient imposed on the device. The sign of the damping depends on the relative orientati ...

Short-Wavelength Spin Waves in Yttrium Iron Garnet Micro-Channels on Silicon

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Haiming Yu, Francesco Antonio Vetrò, Ping Che, Sa Tu, Yao Zhang

Yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has been widely used in spin wave studies thanks to its low Gilbert damping constant. However, most high-quality YIG films are grown on gadolinium gallium garnet (GGG) substrate, which makes it difficult to integrate with existing ...

Linear response to a heat-driven spin torque

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Lucas Fitoussi, Haiming Yu, Francesco Antonio Vetrò, Christian Caspers

The existence of a heat-driven spin torque is demonstrated using Co/Cu/Co spin valves embedded in metallic nanowires. Heat currents flowing in one direction or its opposite were obtained by heating optically one end or the other of the nanowires. The spin ...

Effect of Heat Current on Magnetization Dynamics in Magnetic Insulators and Nanostructures

Francesco Antonio Vetrò

The term "spin caloritronics" defines a novel branch of spintronics that focuses on the interplay between electron spins with heat currents. In the frame of this research area, this thesis is aimed at investigating the effect of a heat current on magnetiza ...

Evidence for a Magnetic Seebeck Effect

Jean-Philippe Ansermet, Sylvain Bréchet, Elisa Papa, Francesco Antonio Vetrò

The irreversible thermodynamics of a continuous medium with magnetic dipoles predicts that a temperature gradient in the presence of magnetization waves induces a magnetic induction field, which is the magnetic analog of the Seebeck effect. This thermal gr ...
