Proximity-induced magnetism in Pt layered with rare-earth–transition-metal ferrimagnetic alloys (2020)
Journal Article
Swindells, C., Nicholson, B., Inyang, O., Choi, Y., Hase, T., & Atkinson, D. (2020). Proximity-induced magnetism in Pt layered with rare-earth–transition-metal ferrimagnetic alloys. Physical Review Research, 2(3), Article 033280. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevresearch.2.033280

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....
