  Effects of ruthenium seed layer on the microstructure and magnetization dynamics of thin permalloy films# 5 10 15 20 25 Jin Lichuan, Zhang Huaiwu, Tang Xiaoli, Bai Feiming, Zhong Zhiyong** (State Key Laboratory of Electronic Thin Films and Integrated Devices, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Chengdu, 610054) Abstract: The spin dynamics and microstructure properties of a sputtered 12 nm Ni81Fe19 thin film have been enhanced by the use of a ruthenium seed layer. Both the ferromagnetic resonance field and linewidth are enhanced dramatically as the thickness of ruthenium seed layer is increased. The surface anisotropy energy constant can also be largely tailored from 0.06 to 0.96 erg/cm-2 by changing the seed layer thickness. The changes to the dynamics magnetization properties are caused by both ruthenium seed layer induced changes in the Ni81Fe19 structure properties and surface topography properties. Roughness induced inhomogeneous linewidth broadening is also seen. The damping constant is highly tunable via the ruthenium thickness. This approach can be used to tailor both the structure and spin dynamic properties of thin Ni81Fe19 films over a wide range. And it may benefit the applications of spin dynamics and spin current based devices. Key words: magnetic thin films; magnetization dynamics; ferromagnetic resonance 0 Introduction The magnetization dynamics of thin magnetic layers are of great scientific and technological interest, as such layers are widely used in spin-injection and transport studies and in magnetic devices. Moreover, the damping behavior of the magnetic thin films is also important to applications in the terahertz frequencies. 1 It is often desirable to tailor the spin dynamics properties of the thin magnetic layer. There are many approaches to achieve this. Doping with various elements is the most common method to change the damping constant, 2-5 high energy ion implantation can also modify the dynamics propertie
