Abstract

In this work, magnetic anisotropy and magnetic damping factor (αs) were studied at different temperatures (T) for the tungsten diselenide (WSe2)/Pt/CoFe heterostructure samples with various WSe2 monolayer numbers (nML). We observed that the WSe2 underlayer could weaken the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy due to the increased interfacial roughness and decreased orbital hybridization effect. In particular, the insertion of WSe2 leads to a rather high αs, which mainly arises from the contributions of interfacial two-magnon scattering (TMS) and spin pumping by the WSe2 layer. When T is gradually reduced below 200 K, the magnetic damping factor of WSe2/Pt/CoFe exhibits a much strong temperature dependence, as compared with the single CoFe films or Pt/CoFe bilayer. We consider the significant drop in damping at T<200 K is due to the decreased TMS scattering since the interfacial random spins become ordered. Our work elucidates the significant implications of two-dimensional materials on the magnetic properties, which will be valuable for the development of transition-metal dichalcogenides based spintronics devices.
