Abstract
We study the spin dynamics of a ferromagnetic insulator on which graphene is placed. We show that the Gilbert damping is enhanced by the proximity exchange coupling at the interface. The modulation of the Gilbert damping constant is proportional to the product of the spin-up and spin-down densities of states of graphene. Consequently, the Gilbert damping constant in a strong magnetic field oscillates as a function of the external magnetic field that originates from the Landau level structure of graphene. We find that a measurement of the oscillation period enables the strength of the exchange coupling constant to be determined. The results demonstrate in theory that the ferromagnetic resonance measurements may be used to detect the spin resolved electronic structure of the adjacent materials, which is critically important for future spin device evaluations.
