Electric field control of magnetodynamics in magnetoelectric (ME) heterostructures has been the subject of recent interest due to its fundamental complexity and promising applications in room temperature devices. The present work focuses on the tuning of magnetodynamic parameters of epitaxially grown ferromagnetic (FM) LaSrMnO(LSMO) on a ferro(piezo)electric (FE) Pb(MgNb)O-PbTiO(PMN-PT) single crystal substrate. The uniaxial magnetic anisotropy of LSMO on PMN-PT confirms the ME coupling at the FM/FE heterointerface. The magnitude of the Gilbert damping constant (α) of this uniaxial LSMO film measured along the hard magnetic axis is significantly small compared to the easy axis. Furthermore, a marked decrease in the α values of LSMO at positive and negative electrical remanence of PMN-PT is observed, which is interpreted in the framework of strain induced spin dependent electronic structure. The present results clearly encourage the prospects of electric field controlled magnetodynamics, thereby realising the room temperature spin-wave based device applications with ultra-low power consumption.

The coherent spin waves, magnons, can propagate without accompanying charge transports and Joule heat dissipation. Room-temperature and long-distance spin waves propagating within nanoscale spin channels are considered promising for integrated magnonic applications, but experimentally challenging. Here we report that long-distance propagation of chiral magnonic edge states can be achieved at room temperature in manganite thin films with long, antiferromagnetically coupled spin spirals (millimetre length) and low magnetic Gilbert damping (~3.

Spin pumping has been reported on interfaces formed with ferromagnetic metals and layered transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), as signified by enhanced Gilbert damping parameters extracted from magnetodynamics measurements. However, whether the observed damping enhancement purely arises from the pumping effect has remained debatable, given that possible extrinsic disturbances on the interfaces cannot be excluded in most of the experiments. Here, we explore an atomically clean interface formed with CoFeB and atomically thin MoSe, achieved by an all growth strategy based on molecular beam epitaxy.

Half-metals are a class of quantum materials with 100% spin polarization at the Fermi level and have attracted a lot of attention for future spintronic device applications. CrO is one of the most promising half-metal candidates for which the electrical and magnetic properties have been intensively studied in the last several decades. Here, we report the observation of a giant anisotropy (∼1600%) of effective Gilbert damping in the single-crystalline half-metallic (100)-CrO thin films, which is significantly larger than the values observed on conventional ferromagnetic Fe and CoFe thin films.

Half-metallic materials are widely used as spintronic devices such as electrodes, magnetic tunneling junction, and giant magnetoresistance. In this work, we have systematically investigated the structural stability, Gilbert damping, electronic structure, and magnetism together with exchange interactions and Curie temperatures for MnTaAl and MnWAl alloys. Initially, we estimate their structural stability and offer possible phase synthesis.
