Nutational Spin Pumping and Dissipation
Hans Gløckner Giil, Arne Brataas
Abstract
At terahertz drive frequencies, magnetization dynamics enter an inertial regime beyond the scope of standard Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) theory. We reveal a nutational damping torque comprising a bulk term and an interfacial contribution that describes spin emission into adjacent metals. The interfacial term generates nutational spin pumping: a dc spin current that scales quadratically with the drive frequency. Using a scattering approach, we relate this effect to microscopic material parameters and predict pronounced enhancements in ultrathin films and low-Fermi-energy conductors. Nutational spin pumping can be detected directly via the inverse spin Hall effect or indirectly via thickness-dependent renormalization of nutational damping.
