Damping by slow relaxing rare earth impurities in Ni80Fe20.
Doping Ni80Fe20 by heavy rare earth atoms alters the magnetic relaxation properties of this material drastically. We show that this effect can be well explained by the slow relaxing impurity mechanism. This process is a consequence of the anisotropy of the on site exchange interaction between the 4f magnetic moments and the conduction band. As expected from this model the magnitude of the dampi...
متن کاملGrain boundary strengthening in alumina by rare earth impurities.
Impurity doping often alters or improves the properties of materials. In alumina, grain boundaries play a key role in deformation mechanisms, particularly in the phenomenon of grain boundary sliding during creep at high temperatures. We elucidated the atomic-scale structure in alumina grain boundaries and its relationship to the suppression of creep upon doping with yttrium by using atomic reso...
متن کاملArsenic impurities in GaN
We present a comprehensive first-principles investigation of arsenic incorporation in GaN. Incorporation of As on the N site, which has previously been implicitly assumed, is favorable only under n-type conditions in a Ga-rich environment. Less Ga-rich conditions, and particularly p-type doping, strongly favor incorporation of As on the Ga site, where it behaves as a deep double donor. Arsenic ...
متن کاملLATTICE LOCATION AND OPTICAL ACTIVATION OF RARE EARTH IMPLANTED GaN
This paper reviews the current knowledge on rare earths (REs) implanted into GaN with a special focus on their lattice location and on the optical activation by means of thermal annealing. While emission channeling experiments have given information on the lattice location of rare earths following low-dose (≈10 cm) implantation, both in the asimplanted state and after annealing up to 900°C, the...
متن کاملGiant Extrinsic Spin Hall Effect due to Rare-Earth Impurities
We investigate the extrinsic spin Hall effect in the electron gas model due to magnetic impurities, by focusing on Ceand Yb-impurities. In the dilute limit, the skew scattering term dominates the side jump term. For Ce-impurities, the spin Hall angle αSH due to skew scattering is given by −8πδ2/7, where δ2 (≪ 1) is the phase shift for d (l = 2) partial wave. Since αSH reaches O(10 ) if δ2 > ∼ 0...
