Micromagnetic parameters and longitudinal relaxation in ultrathin asymmetrically sandwiched magnetic films

Ultrathin asymmetric magnetic films are a prominent material science platform, which combines unique magnetic and electronic properties enabling prospective memory and logic spin-orbitronic devices. Here, we present the quantification mechanism to distinguish all static and dynamic micromagnetic parameters of the layer stack based on magnetometry [1] and quasi-static morphology experiments on domain wall equilibrium tilts [2]. The DW damping is found to be about 0.1 [2] and it is demonstrated to arise from a longitudinal relaxation being dominant among transversal mechanisms for ultrathin films [3].
