Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spin wave detection, and in particular to a spin wave dispersion spectrum testing method and system for realizing wave vector resolution based on a microwave method. Background Art

[0002] The main parameters of spin waves are amplitude, frequency, phase and wave vector. The eigenfrequency of spin waves in magnetic media is not only related to the effective magnetic field and exchange interaction, but also to the wave vector. Therefore, the wave vector-resolved dispersion relation is very important for studying the propagation characteristics of spin waves.

[0003] Experimentally, spin wave modes can be studied using the excitation method or the inelastic scattering method. Using ultrafast lasers or microwaves to excite spin waves, vertical standing wave modes with fixed wave vectors can be detected. In continuous films, for magnetostatic long-wave spin waves with wave vectors in the plane, only Brillouin light scatterers using optical inelastic scattering methods can achieve wave vector-resolved spin wave dispersion spectrum testing. There are also a few works that have achieved the testing of a few standing wave modes of magnetostatic surface waves by photolithography into micron-scale stripes.

[0004] Due to the development of phase-locked ferromagnetic resonance technology in recent years, microwave methods have become increasingly sensitive to high-frequency dynamics testing in thin films. Through special sample processing and design, it has become possible to use microwave methods to perform magnetostatic surface wave dispersion testing. Since the Brillouin light scattering instrument uses internal thermal excitation of the material to generate spin waves, and uses the wave vector of the laser to achieve wave vector resolution of the spin wave spectrum, there is a problem of low efficiency.

[0068] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0069] Figure 1 and Figure 4 An exemplary structure of the above-mentioned spin wave dispersion spectrum testing system that realizes wave vector resolution based on the microwave method is shown.

[0070] The microwave source module 1 is used to transmit microwaves of different frequencies to the sample to be tested through the coplanar waveguide plate of the test fixture according to the first control signal;

The width and spacing of the strips are both 3μm, and the length of the strips is 4mm. The microwave source module 1 is used to emit microwaves to realize the spin wave dispersion test with wave vector resolution function. This spin wave dispersion test with wave vector resolution can only be realized by Brillouin in the past.

[0072] The uniform magnetic field module 2 is used to provide a uniform magnetic field with different magnetic field strengths to the sample to be tested according to the second control signal;

[0073] The uniform magnetic field module 2 comprises:

[0074] The electromagnet unit 21 is used to provide a static uniform magnetic field to the sample to be tested.

[0075] The test fixture module 3 is connected to the microwave source module 1, and is used to place the sample to be tested. The test fixture is located in the middle of the uniform magnetic field. The sample to be tested generates spin wave resonance under the uniform magnetic field and microwave excitation environment.

[0076] Under the action of the spin wave resonance, the amplitude of the microwave emitted by the test fixture changes;

[0077] detecting the amplitude of the changed microwave, converting the changed microwave signal into a first voltage signal through a diode power detector, and outputting the first voltage signal;

[0078] The test fixture module 3 comprises:

[0079] The coplanar waveguide plate 31 is used to place the sample to be tested;

[0080] Both ends of the coplanar waveguide plate 31 are connected to the coaxial adapter 32 respectively; the coplanar waveguide plate 31 is fixed at the center point of the Helmholtz coil 4; the central conductor strip 311 in the coplanar waveguide plate 31 is parallel to the magnetic field direction of the Helmholtz coil 4;

[0081] The coaxial adapter 32 is connected to the microwave source module 1 via the coaxial cable;

[0082] The diode power detector 33 is connected to the coaxial adapter 32, and is used to detect the amplitude of the changed microwave, convert the changed microwave signal into a first voltage signal, and output the first voltage signal; the test fixture module 3 is placed at the center point of the static uniform magnetic field.

[0083] In one example, both ends of the coplanar waveguide plate 31 are connected to the coaxial adapter 32 by welding technology. The diode power detector 33 is connected to the signal input end of the phase-locked amplifier module 5 through a radio frequency adapter line. The coplanar waveguide plate 31 is fixed at the center of the Helmholtz coil 4, and the long axis direction of the coplanar waveguide plate 31 is parallel to the direction of the magnetic field of the Helmholtz coil 4. The coplanar waveguide plate 31 includes:

[0084] The central conductor strip 311 is used to transmit microwave signals;

[0085] The ground plane 312 is located on both sides of the central conductor strip and is evenly distributed on the entire coplanar waveguide plate; there is a spacing 315 between the central conductor strip 311 and the ground plane 312;

[0086] N electrostatic shielding holes 313 are used to confine microwaves and shield external electromagnetic interference;

[0087] The back side covering metal 314 and the front side ground plane 312 are connected via an electrostatic shielding hole 313 .

[0088] like Figure 3 As shown, the coplanar waveguide plate 31 is an impedance-matched coplanar waveguide plate. The dielectric plate of the coplanar waveguide plate 31 is a RO4003C microwave PCB produced by Rogers Company, with a length of 25 mm and a width of 18 mm. A metal 312Cu layer with a thickness of 15 μm is deposited on the PCB, and a layer of Au with a thickness of 0.025 μm is covered on the Cu layer as a protective layer. The coplanar waveguide plate includes a central conductor strip 311 for transmitting signals, which has a size of 1.14 mm in width, infinitely large ground planes 312 on both sides, and a spacing 315 between the central conductor strip 311 and the ground plane 312, and the spacing is 0.2413 mm. The electrostatic shielding holes 313 are evenly distributed on the coplanar waveguide plate, the diameter of the small holes is 0.508 mm, and the spacing between the holes is 1.02 mm. The back of the coplanar waveguide plate is completely covered with metal 314 and the ground plane 312 on the front is connected through the electrostatic shielding holes 313.

[0089] The diode power detector 33 is connected to the test fixture module 3, and the diode power detector 33 is used to:

[0090] detecting the amplitude of the changed microwave, converting the changed microwave signal into a first voltage signal, and outputting the first voltage signal;

[0091] The Helmholtz coil module 4 is connected to the output end of the phase-locked amplifier module 5, and the phase-locked amplifier module 5 is used to provide an alternating voltage of a fixed frequency to the Helmholtz coil module 4; and the test fixture module 3 is located in the middle of the Helmholtz coil module 4;

[0092] The lock-in amplifier module 5 is connected to the test fixture module 3 and the Helmholtz coil module 4 respectively, and is used for:

[0093] Providing a reference signal for the lock-in amplifier module to collect the first voltage signal according to the fixed-frequency alternating voltage signal, thereby collecting the first voltage signal at the same frequency and filtering out complex background signals;

[0094] The data processing module 6 is connected to the microwave source module 1, the uniform magnetic field module 2 and the lock-in amplifier module 5 respectively, and is used for:

[0095] sending the first control signal;

[0096] sending the second control signal;

[0097] Performing three-dimensional drawing processing on the microwave frequency, uniform magnetic field strength, and first voltage signal to obtain a dispersion relationship diagram;

[0098] According to the dispersion relationship diagram, in-plane spin wave standing waves of different orders are obtained, and data on the variation of the in-plane spin wave standing wave resonance frequency with the wave vector under different magnetic fields are obtained.

[0099] In one example, the Helmholtz coil 4 is connected to the signal output end of the phase-locked amplifier module 5 through a phase-locked dedicated test line. The phase-locked amplifier module 5 can provide a very small alternating voltage signal (voltage amplitude 2V, frequency 490Hz) to the Helmholtz coil 4. The sample to be tested 10 is placed on the coplanar waveguide plate 31, and the entire coplanar waveguide plate 31 is placed in the electromagnet unit 21. The collected signal is transmitted to the data processing module 6, and the size of the magnetic field of the uniform magnetic field module 2 and the size of the frequency of the microwave source module 1 are also controlled by the data processing module 6.

[0100] The data processing module 6 includes:

[0101] A ferromagnetic resonance image drawing unit, used for drawing a ferromagnetic resonance image of the first voltage signal at different microwave frequencies as the intensity of the uniform magnetic field changes;

[0102] A three-dimensional drawing unit, connected to the ferromagnetic resonance image drawing module, for performing three-dimensional drawing processing on the ferromagnetic resonance image to obtain a dispersion relationship diagram of frequency versus magnetic field;

[0103] A spin wave resonance frequency point extraction unit is connected to the three-dimensional drawing unit and is used to extract in-plane standing waves of different orders in the dispersion relation diagram, and obtain spin wave resonance frequency points of different orders under the corresponding uniform magnetic field strength according to the intersection points of the in-plane standing waves and different uniform magnetic field strengths;

[0104] The spectrum drawing unit is connected to the spin wave resonance frequency point extraction unit and is used to draw spectrum diagrams of resonance frequencies with different orders of in-plane standing waves under different magnetic fields according to the spin wave resonance frequency points.

[0105] According to the different orders of the in-plane standing wave, different wave vectors corresponding to each order of the standing wave are obtained; thereby, a frequency spectrum diagram of the resonance frequency points of the in-plane standing wave of the spin wave under the different uniform magnetic field intensities with the wave vector is drawn; the different wave vectors are used to characterize the spin wave dispersion spectrum test results based on the microwave method to achieve wave vector resolution.

[0106] In one example, the coplanar waveguide plate 31 provides a sufficiently large static uniform magnetic field through the electromagnet unit 21 (DC electromagnet) to completely magnetize the sample 10 to be tested, and the direction of the magnetic moment is arranged along the direction of the static uniform magnetic field. The microwave source module 1 provides a microwave excitation signal for the sample. The microwave source module 1 is connected to the coplanar waveguide plate 31 as a signal input terminal. The sample 10 to be tested is placed on the coplanar waveguide plate 31, and under microwave excitation, the magnetic moment in the sample 10 to be tested performs forced vibration around the direction of the static uniform magnetic field, which can also be called magnetic moment precession. The magnetic parameters of the sample to be tested can be analyzed by the trajectory of the magnetic moment precession. This magnetic moment precession will bring about changes in the microwave signal (amplitude). The microwave signal will be converted into a voltage signal through the diode power detector 33, and the voltage signal will be collected by the phase-locked amplifier module 5. Therefore, detecting its voltage signal can detect the precession state of the magnetic moment. Changing the size of the static uniform magnetic field will change the precession frequency of the magnetic moment in the sample to be tested. When this frequency is consistent with the frequency of the microwave (excitation signal), the microwave absorption becomes stronger, and a sharp change in the voltage signal can be seen. The Helmholtz coil 4 is connected to the output end of the phase-locked amplifier module 5, so that an alternating voltage with a fixed frequency can be provided to the Helmholtz coil 4. The alternating voltage signal with a fixed frequency provides a reference signal for the phase-locked amplifier module 5 to collect the first voltage signal, so that the first voltage signal at the same frequency is collected and the complex background signal is filtered out; the ferromagnetic resonance curve graph that changes with the magnetic field at different frequencies can be detected by changing the size of the magnetic field of the electromagnet unit 21.

[0107] The ferromagnetic resonance diagrams at all frequencies can be processed into three-dimensional graphs to obtain the dispersion relationship diagram of frequency and magnetic field, such as Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal axis H is the magnetic field intensity and the vertical axis f is the frequency. In the dispersion relationship diagram, we can find in-plane standing waves of different orders, such as Figure 6 As shown, through the intersection of the in-plane standing wave and different magnetic fields, such as Figure 7 As shown, the resonant frequency points of spin waves of different orders under the same magnetic field can be found, so that the spectrum of the resonant frequency with different orders of in-plane standing waves under different magnetic fields can be derived. The different orders of in-plane standing waves can be used to deduce the different wave vectors corresponding to each order of standing waves according to the formula (k=nπ / d, k represents the wave vector, n represents the order of in-plane standing waves, and d represents the width of the micron strip), as shown in Figure 8 As shown, the horizontal axis Wavevector represents the wave vector, and Intensity represents the relative intensity. That is, through the current device, we can easily and conveniently obtain the spin wave dispersion test with wave vector resolution function.

[0108] In summary, the microwave source module emits microwaves of different frequencies to the sample to be tested; the uniform magnetic field module provides a uniform magnetic field of different magnetic field strengths to the sample to be tested; the sample to be tested generates spin wave resonance in a uniform magnetic field and microwave excitation environment; the amplitude of the microwave changes under the action of the spin wave resonance, and the changed microwave is obtained; the diode power detector converts the changed microwave signal into a corresponding first voltage signal; the lock-in amplifier module collects the first voltage signal; the data processing module performs three-dimensional drawing processing on the microwave frequency, uniform magnetic field strength, and the first voltage signal to obtain a dispersion relationship diagram; and the spin wave dispersion spectrum test result is obtained. The present invention improves the wave vector resolution efficiency and accuracy of the spin wave dispersion spectrum.

[0109] To achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present invention also provides the following solution:

[0111] Step 1: According to a first control signal, microwaves of different frequencies are emitted to the sample to be tested through the coplanar waveguide plate in the test fixture module; according to a second control signal, a uniform magnetic field of different magnetic field strengths is provided to the sample to be tested; a data processing module sends the first control signal and the second control signal;

[0112] Step 2: The sample to be tested generates spin wave resonance in a uniform magnetic field and microwave excitation environment; under the action of the spin wave resonance, the amplitude of the microwave changes, and the changed microwave is obtained;

[0114] Step 4: performing three-dimensional drawing processing on the microwave frequency, uniform magnetic field strength, and first voltage signal to obtain a dispersion relationship diagram;

[0115] Step 5: Obtain in-plane spin wave standing waves of different orders according to the dispersion relationship diagram, and obtain data on the variation of the in-plane spin wave standing wave resonance frequency with the wave vector under different magnetic fields.

[0123] (7) Thus, the spectrum of the resonance frequency with different orders of in-plane standing waves under different magnetic fields can be derived. The different orders of in-plane standing waves can be used to deduce the different wave vectors corresponding to each order of standing waves, thereby realizing the spin wave dispersion spectrum test with wave vector resolution.
