Independent Tuning of Surface Acoustic-Waves and Spin-Waves via Buffer-Layer Engineering in Co2FeGe Heusler Thin Films
Understanding and controlling acoustic and spin-wave excitations in magnetic thin films is critical for the development of magnonic and spin-acoustic devices. We report on the use of Cr and W buffer layers to independently modify the acoustic and magnetic excitations in Co2FeGe full-Heusler thin films grown on MgO(001)...
