Abstract:
We report the measurement of a spin pumping effect due to fluctuations of the magnetic order of IrMn thin films. A precessing NiFe ferromagnet injected spins into IrMn spin sinks, and enhanced damping was observed around the IrMn magnetic phase transition. Our data were compared to a recently developed theory and converted into interfacial spin mixing conductance enhancements. By spotting the spin pumping peak, the thickness dependence of the IrMn critical temperature could be determined and the characteristic length for the spin-spin interactions was deduced.

Diamagnetism was discovered by Anton Brugmans in 1778 when he observed that bismuth gets repelled by magnetic fields, thus theorizing that diamagnets get repelled by magnets....
