First principles calculation for Gilbert damping constants in ferromagnetic/non-magnetic junctions

We evaluated an intrinsic α in ferromagnetic (FM)/non-magnetic (NM) junctions from first principles (FM = Co, Fe, and Ni and NM = Cu, Pd, and Pt) to investigate the effects of the inserted NM layer. α is calculated by liner muffin-tin orbital methods based on the torque-correlation model. We confirm...
