Although several works on anisotropic damping have been reported, no direct relationship between the band structure and anisotropic damping was established. Here, we observed an anisotropic damping in Fe/GeTe manipulated by the symmetric band structures of GeTe via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. Moreover, the anisotropic damping can be modified by the symmetry of band structures. Our Letter provides insightful understandings of the anisotropic Gilbert damping in ferromagnets interfaced with Rashba semiconductors and suggests the possibility of manipulating the Gilbert damping by band engineering.}, number={18}, journal={PHYSICAL REVIEW LETTERS}, author={Yang, Xu and Qiu, Liang and Li, Yan and Xue, Hao-Pu and Liu, Jia-Nan and Sun, Rui and Yang, Qing-Lin and Gai, Xue-Song and Wei, Yan-Sheng and Comstock, Andrew H. and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Nov} } @article{kim_vetter_yan_yang_wang_sun_yang_comstock_li_zhou_et al._2023, title={Chiral-phonon-activated spin Seebeck effect}, volume={2}, ISSN={["1476-4660"]}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41563-023-01473-9}, DOI={10.1038/s41563-023-01473-9}, abstractNote={Utilization of the interaction between spin and heat currents is the central focus of the field of spin caloritronics. Chiral phonons possessing angular momentum arising from the broken symmetry of a non-magnetic material create the potential for generating spin currents at room temperature in response to a thermal gradient, precluding the need for a ferromagnetic contact. Here we show the observation of spin currents generated by chiral phonons in a two-dimensional layered hybrid organic-inorganic perovskite implanted with chiral cations when subjected to a thermal gradient. The generated spin current shows a strong dependence on the chirality of the film and external magnetic fields, of which the coefficient is orders of magnitude larger than that produced by the reported spin Seebeck effect. Our findings indicate the potential of chiral phonons for spin caloritronic applications and offer a new route towards spin generation in the absence of magnetic materials.}, journal={NATURE MATERIALS}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Kim, Kyunghoon and Vetter, Eric and Yan, Liang and Yang, Cong and Wang, Ziqi and Sun, Rui and Yang, Yu and Comstock, Andrew H. and Li, Xiao and Zhou, Jun and et al.}, year={2023}, month={Feb} }
