Abstract

In this report, magnetic static and dynamic properties have been studied on sputtered Ta (10 nm) /FeGaB (10 ~ 30 nm)/Ta (5 nm) /FeGaB (15 nm) /Ta (3 nm) film stack. The surface characterization suggests good quality thin films with a low roughness value. The magnetization study suggests that the magnetic coercive field has increased as long as changing the bottom FeGaB layer thickness. The dynamic properties of multilayer thin films stack provide the inhomogeneous linewidth (∆H0), the damping factor (α) and other parameters. The thickness dependence of damping factor provides the bulk damping used to calculate the spin-mixing conductance g↑↓, which shows a larger value than single layer ferromagnetic stack, and also gets enhanced at the lower temperature of 100 K.
