Our article “Light and microwave driven spin pumping across FeGaB–BiSb interface” has been published in PR Materials! This article, recently published in Phys. Rev. Materials 5, 124410 (2021), results from primarily-MRSEC supported research through a collaboration between IRG2 groups Jungfleisch, Gundlach, Jannotti and Bryant in collaboration with Prof. Ramesh Budhani at Morgan State University.Calculated thickness-dependent spin-Hall conductivity (left), and corresponding inverse spin-Hall voltage (top, right) and THz emission results (bottom, right).

Research focus: Experimental studies combined with theoretical calculations of spin dynamics across a wide frequency range from ~10 GHz to several THz in a novel amorphous ferromagnet (FM)/3D topological insulator (TI) (FeGaB/BiSb) system that is scalable and provides a promising platform for spin-orbit torque devices.
