Large interfacial perpendicular magnetocrystalline anisotropy (iPMA) and low Gilbert magnetic damping constant (α) in tunnel junctions (MTJs) are desired to achieve higher storage density lower standby power operations random-access memory. This work theoretically investigates effects of nitrogen fluoride anions (N-anion F-anion) substitution on the MgO barrier interface Fe/MgO/Fe MTJ for iPMA α using first-principles calculations. We find that N-anion significantly enhances by four times...

The first-principles calculation of correlated materials within density functional theory remains challenging, but the inclusion a Hubbard-type effective on-site Coulomb term $({U}_{\mathrm{eff}})$ often provides computationally tractable and physically reasonable approach. However, reported values ${U}_{\mathrm{eff}}$ vary widely, even for same ionic state material. Since final physical results can depend critically on choice parameter computational details, there is need to have consistent...

The spin-1 chiral semimetal is a state of quantum matter hosting unconventional fermions that extend beyond the common Dirac and Weyl fermions. B20-type CoSi prototypal material accommodates such an exotic quasiparticle. To date, spin-transport properties in semimetals have not been thoroughly explored. In this work, we fabricated B20-CoSi thin films on sapphire $c$-plane substrates by magnetron sputtering studied spin Hall effect (SHE) combining experiments first-principles calculations....

Half-metallic ferromagnets have been widely investigated by first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations, but extending such studies to investigate spin-polarization at finite temperatures is still challenging due the difficulty of incorporating temperature effects appropriately. We present DFT based on a Green's function formulation, which include thermal via disordered local-moment method address this issue. The calculations are carried out for Heusler...

Abstract We demonstrated the sensitivity enhancement for magneto-optical surface plasmon resonance (MOSPR) using noble/ferromagnetic metals multilayers. The proposed structure is based on Kretschmann configuration in transverse Kerr effect (TMOKE) methods with FeCu superlattices (SLs) as magneto-plasmonic materials and gelatin biomolecules analyte. dielectric constants of SLs are taken from first principles calculation, which performed by a full-potential linearized augmented plane wave...

Advances in communication technology have moved carrier frequencies to the terahertz (THz) regime where conventional microwave technologies and materials cannot work as their physical properties no longer respond such frequencies. Antiferromagnets are whose magnetic interact with THz-frequency electromagnetic waves. Phenomenologically, response frequency is readily determined by exchange energy anisotropy. In this paper, we revisit antiferromagnetic resonance of NiO, an archetypical...

In materials informatics using machine learning and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, it is often hard to obtain enough database due extremely large costs of DFT. Therefore, required a technique that learns complex target relationship from limited dataset. the present work, overcome this issue, we built neural network by implementing two techniques: Gaussian data augmentation (GDA) method, which injects noises into training dataset, ensemble learning, employs multiple models...

In spintronics, simultaneous realization of high tunneling magnetoresistance and low resistivity in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) is challenging because insulating layers with higher barrier heights generally generate highly spin-polarized currents but increase resistivity. We overcome this trade-off relationship using Brillouin-zone-folded bands at the interfaces Fe/spinel ${\mathrm{MgGa}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}/\mathrm{Fe}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{MTJ}$. Interfacial resonant...

The role of magnetic anisotropy on magnon in NiO was theoretically investigated. By using first-principles calculations, parameters spin-exchange constants, magnetocrystalline (MCA) constant, and moment for the by dipole–dipole interaction (MDIA) were extracted, where MDIA is found to have a more dominant contribution than MCA does. Second quantization representation reveals that lifts degeneracy two modes, labeled as α β agrees with experiments. frequency mode has large shift higher due...
