We present a brief review of our recent study on spin pumping in ferromagnetic multilayers. First, we present theoretical models describing spin pumping induced by ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Then we apply the spin-pumping theory to FMR in ferromagnetic multilayers and show that the line width of the FMR spectrum depends on the thickness of the ferromagnetic metal layer which is not in resonance. We also show that the penetration depths of transverse spin current in ferromagnetic metals can be determined by analyzing the line width of the FMR spectrum. The obtained penetration depths of the transverse spin current were 3.7 nm for Py , 2.5 nm for CoFe , 12.0 nm for CoFeB , and 1.7 nm for Co , respectively.

AbstractA quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator hosts topological states at the one-dimensional (1D) edge, along which backscattering by nonmagnetic impurities is strictly prohibited. Its 3D analogue, a weak topological insulator (WTI), possesses similar quasi-1D topological states confined at side surfaces. The enhanced confinement could provide a route for dissipationless current and better advantages for applications relative to strong topological insulators (STIs). However, the topological side surface is usually not cleavable and is thus hard to observe. Here, we visualize the topological states of the WTI candidate ZrTe5 by spin and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES): a quasi-1D band with spin-momentum locking was revealed on the side surface. We further demonstrate that the bulk band gap is controlled by external strain, realizing a more stable WTI state or an ideal Dirac semimetal (DS) state. The highly directional spin-current and the tunable band gap in ZrTe5 will provide an excellent platform for applications.

A Spin Current Generated by Spin Pumping in a Ferromagnetic/Nonmagnetic/Spin-Sink Trilayer Film Is Calculated Based on the Spin Pumping Theory and the Standard Spin Diffusion Equation. By Attaching the Spin-Sink Layer, the Injected Spin Current Is Drastically Enhanced when the Interlayer Thickness Is Shorter than the Spin Diffusion Length of the Interlayer. We Also Provided the Formula of the Charge Current which Is Induced from the Pumped Spin Current via the Inverse Spin-Hall Effect.
