Abstract
We characterize the magnetic interfacial coupling of the Fe/FeGe heterostructure and its influence on the magnetic damping via ferromagnetic resonance in the temperature range of 200–300 K. When the temperature is below the critical temperature of FeGe, the interfacial coupling rises. The strength of the magnetic interfacial coupling is determined as a function of the temperature and reaches up to 0.194 erg/cm2 at 200 K. Meanwhile, the Gilbert damping of the Fe layer is enhanced from 0.035 at 300 K to 0.050 at 200 K. The enhancement is linearly proportional to the strength of magnetic interfacial coupling. We attribute the enhancement to the interfacial coupling that transfers spin angular momentum from Fe to FeGe via the exchange interaction. Our results reveal that the interfacial coupling is an effective approach to inject spin current into the chiral spin texture.
