Magnetization dynamics in synthetic antiferromagnet with adjacent Pt layer is investigated. Using dc bias, magnetic damping can be effectively controlled by the spin-orbit torque from the Pt layer. In the spin-flop state, the acoustic mode is modulated by the dc bias, but the optical mode is not sufficiently modulated. In the saturation state, the optical mode is effectively modulated. By appropriately selecting acoustic and optical modes and magnetization states such as the spin-flop and saturation states, modulation of the mutual phases of the ac spin currents driven by the ac damping torques can be realized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
