Spin-dependent band structure, Fermi surface, and carrier lifetime of permalloy

Abstract: Angle-resolved photoemission is used to determine the energy bands of permalloy (Ni 0.8 Fe 0.2) and compare them to Ni, Co, and Cu. The energy and momentum resolution ͑Ϸ0.01 eV and Ϸ0.01 Å Ϫ1 ͒ is high enough to resolve the magnetically split bands at the Fermi level that are responsible for spin-dependent conductivity and tunneling. For the ⌺ 1 band we find the magnetic exchange splittings ␦E ex ϭ0.27 eV ͑0.23 eV for Ni͒, ␦k ex ϭ0.16Ϯ0.02 Å Ϫ1 (0.12Ϯ0.01 Å Ϫ1 for Ni͒, the Fermi velocity v F↑ ϭ(0.22Ϯ0.02)10 6 … Show more

“…Additional experiments can provide insight about the magnitude of the individual contributions P I , λ F . Angle-resolved photoemission provides information about the relaxation length λ F of ferromagnets 44 (albeit high in the energy band), while the conductance polarization of ferromagnets P I can be investigated by measuring the Doppler shift of spin-waves. 45 Although the model fits the observed spin-valve signals of devices with clean interfaces very well, 34 in lateral systems the model often overestimates the observable spin-valve signals.…”

“…A Fermi sphere reasonably approximates Fermi surfaces of the alkali and noble metals 4 and Ca. 84 Band structure calculations, including evaluation of angle-resolved photoemission experiments, 85 give u Fermi ∼ 0.3×10 6 m·s −1 for Ti, Ni, Co, and the Fe-Ni alloy permalloy, which is a factor of ∼4 lower than that associated with Fermi spheres for these elements. However, even with a four fold increase, calculated mean free paths remain significantly below interatomic distances.…”
