Abstract
This paper presents the experimental studies of ferromagnetic layers separated by a heavy metal wedge. The studied system consists of two thin layers of CoFeB separated by a wedged Au spacer. By performing Brillouin light scattering measurements of the spin-wave dispersion relations, and dependences on the magnetic field, we extract magnetic parameters in the studied ferromagnetic layers as a function of heavy metal thickness. We concluded that for thin ferromagnetic double layers, the magnetic properties strongly depend on the thickness of the wedge gold layer spacer. In particular, the presence of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy diminishes as the thickness of the magnetic material is increased, and at the spacers thicker than 2.5 nm the dynamic coupling between propagating spin waves in both layers is negligible. These findings have potential advantages for the development of future spintronic devices.
