Abstract

Low spin-current generation efficiency has impeded further progress in practical spin devices, especially in the form of wireless excitation. To tackle this problem, a unique Plasmonic Diabolo Cavity (PDC) is proposed to enhance the spin pumping (SP) signal. The SP microwave photovoltage is enhanced ∼22-fold by PDC at ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). This improvement owes to the localization of the microwave magnetic field, which drives the spin precession process to more effectively generate photovoltage at the FMR condition. The in-plane anisotropy of spin pumping is found to be suppressed by PDC. Our work suggests that metamaterial resonant structures exhibit rich interactions with spin dynamics and could potentially be applied in future high-frequency spintronics.
