Abstract

Gilbert damping is one of the critical parameters in magnetic thin films for developing low-power spintronic devices, and Co40Fe40B20 (CFB) is one of the sought-after materials in this regard. Here, we report the effect of annealing on the structural, magnetization reversal, and spin dynamics of CFB thin films. X-ray diffraction results show that as-deposited films are amorphous and retain their nature upon annealing up to 350 degrees C. Magnetization reversal results exhibit anisotropic behavior in both as-deposited and annealed samples. The random anisotropy model explains the change in coercivity in the transverse axis with respect to the longitudinal axis for CFB annealed at 350 degrees C. Broadband ferromagnetic resonance spectra reveal that the damping parameter decreases with increasing annealing temperature. Ultra-low damping of 0.004 is obtained with annealing at 350 degrees C. Surface topographical images from atomic force microscopy are rewarded for supporting the observed variation of the damping constant. Our systematic study gives an insight into CFB magnetization reversal and dynamics for developing ultra-low damping magnetic thin films via annealing.
