The relationship between proximity induced magnetism (PIM) at the heavy metal/ferromagnet interface and spin-transport across such interfaces has generated significant debate. To investigate the link between the two, element specific X-ray magnetic c... Read More about Proximity induced magnetism and the enhancement of damping in ferromagnetic/heavy metal systems.

The proximity-induced moment (PIM) in heavy metal layers may play a significant role in heterostructured spintronic systems. In particular, the PIM of a heavy metal adjacent to a magnetic layer has been linked to interfacial spin transport behavior....
