Recently, theoretical research predicted demagnetization-driven spin current in terms of spindependent transport of hot electrons in a magnetic layer [2]. The findings of several subsequent experiments have been interpreted as supporting this hypothesis [3-5]. However, in our previous work [6] where a ferromagnet is indirectly heated by a thick Pt layer, we showed that ultrafast demagnetization produces volumetric spin generation due to the temperature difference between electrons and magnons of a ferromagnet combined with angular momentum conservation of electron-magnon coupling. Owing to this conservation, the demagnetization-driven spin generation rate is the negative of the demagnetization rate, NATURE PHYSICS 1
2 gg SS = dddd dddd. (S1) We obtain dm/dt from time derivative of measured M(t). We measure demagnetization of [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni] with both pump and probe beams incident on the Pt side of samples (Fig. S1 (a)). By comparing the transient Kerr rotation ( M) and static Kerr rotation (M), we determine the peak M/M: 0.26±0.04 and 0.23±0.04, respectively, for [Co/Pt]/Cu-10/CoFeB and [Co/Pt]/Cu- 100/CoFeB samples; 0.08±0.01 and 0.07±0.01, respectively, for [Co/Ni]/Cu-10/CoFeB and [Co/Ni]/Cu-100/CoFeB samples. A change in the thickness of the Cu heat sink layer from 10 nm to 100 nm only slightly reduces the demagnetization because the peak demagnetization, which is proportional to the peak magnon temperature, is mostly controlled by the thickness of the heat absorbing layer, Pt, not by the thickness of the heat sink layer, Cu. The difference in M/M between [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni] originates from the different Curie temperatures (Fig. S1 (b)). When the excursion in the magnon temperature is 100 K above room temperature, M/M is 0.22 and 0.08 for [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni], respectively (Fig. S1 (b)). The M/M and saturation magnetization of 4.2 and A m -1 for [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni], respectively, lead to a spin generation term gs that is two times larger using [Co/Pt] as FM1 than using [Co/Ni] (Fig. 3 (b) of the main text). Supplementary Note 2: Initial energy distribution in thermal modeling There are two aspects to the initial deposition of energy from the pump optical pulse. The first aspect is to analyze how much optical energy is absorbed by electrons in the Pt+FM1 layer and how much optical energy is absorbed directly by electrons in the underlying Cu layer. We calculated the light absorption from the optical model for the multilayer structure by a transfer matrix method, using the refractive indexes of 1.76, ii 5.9, ii 5.6, and 1.73 for the 2 NATURE PHYSICS
3 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION sapphire, Pt, Cu, and capping oxide and assuming the refractive index of [Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni] is the same as that of Pt. For the sapphire substrate/ Pt (20)/ FM1 ([Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni]) (3.2)/ Cu (100)/ Capping oxide (15) (units in nm) structure, the optical calculation predicts that the Pt+FM1 layer absolves 98.5 % and the Cu layer absorbs 1.5 % of the total absorbed energy (Fig. S2 (a)). In other words, the direct absorption of optical energy in the Cu layer is negligible. For simplicity, in the thermal modeling, we assume the Pt+FM1 layer absolves 100 % of energy. Within the Pt+FM1 layer, the optical calculation predicts an exponential decay of light energy at a length scale of 11 nm (Fig. S2 (a)). The second aspect of the problem is the effect of ballistic motion of electrons before thermalization. For s/p band metals, such as Au, the ballistic motion can distribute energy deeply into the layer, and the length scale for energy distribution can be >100 nm [7]. For d band metals, such as Pt, the electron-phonon coupling is much stronger and therefore the length scale for energy distribution is on the order of 20 nm [7]. When we compare the results of the thermal modeling using an initial energy distribution with a length scale of 11 versus 20 nm in the Pt+FM1 layer, we find the difference is not significant (Fig. S2 (b)). In the thermal modeling of Fig. 2 of the main text, we distribute the initial energy in the electron heat capacity of the Pt+FM1 layer with a decay length of 20 nm. Given the initial energy distribution, the temperature evolution of each layer is determined by parameters of heat capacity, thermal conductivity, and electron-phonon coupling of each layer. These parameters for thermal modeling in Fig. 2 in the main text are summarized in Supplementary Table I. Supplementary Note 3: Analytic estimation of heat current NATURE PHYSICS 3
4 The heat current, JQ, through FM1 in the Pt/FM1/Cu (effect of FM2 can be ignored when its thickness much smaller than others) structure can be estimated by assuming that the initial energy deposited by the pump optical pulse is initially confined to the Pt layer and that JQ decays exponentially in time, JQ = J0 exp(-t/τ): Pt acts as a heat absorbing layer and Cu acts as a heat sink layer. The total energy transfer (time integral of JQ) from Pt to Cu is then determined by the relative thickness of Cu compared to the thickness of Pt, 0 JJ 0 ee tt/ττ dddd = EE abs CC Cu h Cu, CC Pt h Pt +CC Cu h Cu (S2) where τ is the thermal relaxation time, Eabs is the energy fluence absorbed by Pt, CPt is the heat capacity of Pt, CCu is the heat capacity of Cu, hpt is the thickness of Pt, and hcu is the thickness of Cu. Solving equation (S2) leads to equation (1) of the main text. The thermal relaxation time, τ, is determined by the heat capacities, thicknesses, and thermal resistances of the multilayer structure. The dominant mechanism of thermal resistance is different for Pt and Cu because of their large difference in the electron-phonon coupling: the major thermal resistance of Pt is h/λ, where Λ is the electronic thermal conductivity; the major thermal resistance of the Cu layer is 1/(gh), where g is the electron-phonon coupling parameter. Then, τ is approximately given by, ττ ( 1 CC Pt h Pt + 1 CC Cu h Cu ) 1 ( h Pt ΛΛ Pt + h FM1 ΛΛ FM1 + 1 gg Cu h Cu ). (S3) In the Pt (20 nm)/ FM1 (3.2 nm)/ Cu (h nm) structure, Eq. (S3) leads to τ of 30 and 40 ps with hcu of 100 and 10 nm, respectively. Applying these τ to Eq. (1) of the main text, JJ QQ 100 ee tt/(30 ps) GW m -2 with Cu 100 nm and JJ QQ 35 ee tt/(40 ps) GW m -2 with Cu 10 nm. Despite the simplicity, this estimation of JQ agrees well with the numerical simulation using a finite difference method (inset of Fig. 2 (c) in the main text). 4 NATURE PHYSICS
5 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION Supplementary Note 4: Demagnetization signal seen through Cu layer When we measure TR-MOKE on the Cu side of samples, the Kerr rotation due to the demagnetization of [Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni] decreases exponentially with increasing Cu layer thickness by, θθ Demag exp ( 4ππππh ), (S4) λλ where κ is the extinction coefficient and h is the thickness of Cu, and λ is the wavelength of light. From the light transmission measurement, we determine κ = 5.6±0.3 for Cu (Fig. S3 (a)). Given the peak θdemag of 75 and 19 µrad on the Cu side of [Co/Pt]/Cu-10/CoFeB and [Co/Ni]/Cu- 10/CoFeB samples, respectively, the peak θdemag on the Cu side should be 0.02~0.04 µrad for the [Co/Pt]/Cu-100 sample (Fig. S3 (b)). To get θk by spin accumulation, we subtract the residual demagnetization signal from the raw data assuming the peak of θdemag on the Cu side of the [Co/Pt]/Cu-100 sample is 0.03 µrad (Fig. S3 (c)). For the [Co/Ni]/Cu-100 sample, the peak of θdemag is less than 0.01 µrad and can be neglected. The demagnetization signal of [Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni] significantly contributes to TR-MOKE on the CoFeB side of [Co/Pt]/Cu-10/CoFeB and [Co/Ni]/Cu-10/CoFeB because of the small Cu thickness. To get the precession data of CoFeB, we subtract the demagnetization signal assuming a polynomial functional form (Fig. S4). Supplementary Note 5: dm/dt-driven spin accumulation at 10 ps We have included zoomed-in figures in Fig. 3 (b) in the main text to show that dm/dt goes to zero after 3 ps within the uncertainties of our measurement. In principle, a small negative contribution to spin generation from dm/dt exists after 3 ps as the temperature of the metal layers equilibrate. As the magnon temperature of FM1 decreases until > 100 ps (Fig. 2 in the main text), NATURE PHYSICS 5
6 ΔM in increases, and consequently there is a small negative component of spin generation due to dm/dt even after 3 ps. However the rate of change in M is so slow after 3 ps that dm/dt becomes negligible compared to the SDSE-driven spin generation at t>3 ps. To verify this argument, we obtain dm/dt after 3 ps from the numerical fitting of demagnetization data up to 100 ps. Calculating spin accumulation including the finite dm/dt after 3 ps shows that this contribution does not make a distinguishable difference in the spin accumulation (Fig. S5). One might argue that the long spin relaxation time (τs) of Cu, 17 ps, can produce an offset in spin accumulation at 10 ps even if dm/dt becomes zero after 3 ps. However, in coupled layers, the layer with the smallest τs will determine if there is significant spin accumulation due to the demagnetization-driven spin generation (gs=-dm/dt) at 10 ps. Because τs of FM1 ([Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni]) is less than 1 ps, the gs=-dm/dt cannot produce an offset in spin accumulation at 10 ps. Even if τs of FM1 were not small, the τs of 0.5 ps of Pt suppresses spin accumulation in the Pt/FM1/Cu structure at 10 ps (Fig. S6). Supplementary Note 6: Magnetic field dependence on the CoFeB frequency The frequency of the CoFeB precession depends on the applied magnetic field. When we increase the in-plane magnetic field from 0.05 T to 0.2 T for the [Co/Ni]/Cu-100/CoFeB sample, the CoFeB frequency increases from 7.8 GHz to 16.4 GHz (Fig. S7). The frequency is well described by Kittel s equation, ff = γγ e 2ππ BB x(bb x + μμ 0 MM S ), where γe = rad s -1 T -1 is the electron gyromagnetic ratio, Bx is the in-plane magnetic field, µ0 is the vacuum permeability, and MS is the saturation magnetization of CoFeB of A m -1. Since μμ 0 MM S BB x, ff BB x. In addition, the amplitude of the CoFeB precession decreases by a half with in-plane field of 0.2 T. This is because the magnetization of [Co/Ni] deviates from perpendicular direction at the in-plane 6 NATURE PHYSICS
7 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION field of 0.2 T. The hysteresis curve of [Co/Ni] shows that in-plane field of 0.2 T significantly tilts its magnetization (Fig. S7 (c)). Although the frequency doubles by increasing the Bx from 0.05 to 0.2 T, we do not observe much difference in the phase: for both fittings in Figs. S7 (a) and S7 (b), we use the same ϕ of - 30 o of the damped cosine function of cos(2 ft+ )exp(-t/ ). Our calculation using equation (6) of the main text also predicts that the magnitude of Bx does not change the phase much (Fig. S8): the phase difference, Δϕ, between [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni] is 130 o and 120 o at Bx of 0.05 T and 0.2 T, respectively. Supplementary Note 7: Dependence of spin accumulation on τs of FM Given the same spin generation rate, either by demagnetization or by SDSE, in FM1, the amount of spin accumulation in Cu (or spin current to FM2) is determined by τs of FM1: a longer τs produces a larger spin accumulation (Fig. S9). For the spin accumulation by demagnetization, if we assume the same τs for [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni], [Co/Pt] would produce more than two times larger spin accumulation than [Co/Ni] because of larger demagnetization (Fig. S1 (a)). However, the measured spin accumulation is about two times smaller in [Co/Pt]/Cu-100 than [Co/Ni]/Cu- 100 (Fig. 3 (a) of the main text), suggesting that τs of [Co/Pt] is much shorter than [Co/Ni]. The spin accumulation by SDSE is also affected by τs, but the dependence is less significant because SDSE creates interfacial spin generation while demagnetization creates volumetric spin generation. Supplementary Note 8: Calculation of spin accumulation in NM To calculate spin accumulation in Cu, we solve coupled spin diffusion equation (equation (3) of the main text) for the Pt/ [Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni]/ Cu structure with boundary conditions of dμs/dz NATURE PHYSICS 7
8 = 0 at the end of Pt (next to the substrate) and at the surface of Cu. We calculate the demagnetization-driven and SDSE-driven components of the spin accumulation independently (Fig. S10). First, we calculate the demagnetization-driven spin accumulation by including the volumetric spin generation rate of gs = -dm/dt at [Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni]. The dm/dt of [Co/Pt] is approximately two times larger than that of [Co/Ni], but the τs of [Co/Pt] is much smaller than that of [Co/Ni], resulting in the smaller spin accumulation with [Co/Pt] than [Co/Ni]. Second, we calculate the SDSE-driven spin accumulation by including the interfacial spin generation rate of GS described by Eq. (2) of the main text. The SDSE-driven spin current produces a peak spin accumulation at 0.8 ps and an offset in the spin accumulation at 10 ps. Total spin accumulation is the sum of the demagnetization-driven and SDSE-driven ones. To compare calculated spin accumulation with measured Kerr rotation on Cu, we need to know the relationship between the Kerr rotation and spin accumulation θθ ΔMM Cu. In our previous work [6], we have determined θθ ΔMM Cu rad m A -1 assuming τs=0.05 ps of the [Co (0.4)/ Pt (1)] 5/Co (0.4) layer, which is estimated from the theory of Elliot-Yafet [8, 9]. In this work, we determine τs as a fitting parameter for measured spin accumulation and STT results of different FMs (Supplementary Table II). This fitting procedure leads to θθ ΔMM Cu rad m A -1. Recently, we compared θθ of Cu, Ag, and Au and related them to spin-orbit coupling of conduction band ΔMM [10]. The comparison between calculation and measurement of spin accumulation is shown in Fig. 3 (a) of the main text. Supplementary Note 9: Calculation of spin currents to FM2 8 NATURE PHYSICS
9 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION We calculate spin current that is absorbed by CoFeB by solving the coupled spin diffusion equation (equation (3) of the main text) for the Pt/ [Co/Pt] or [Co/Ni]/ Cu/ CoFeB structure with boundary conditions of dμs/dz = 0 at the end of Pt (next to the substrate) and µs = 0 at CoFeB. The spin current is comprised of demagnetization-driven and SDSE-driven components. We find that the demagnetization-driven spin current does not differ much between [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni] because the smaller dm/dt of [Co/Ni] is compensated by a larger τs of [Co/Ni]. The major difference in the efficacy of the two ferromagnetic layers results from the SDSE-driven component that persists for ~100 ps and has negative (positive) sign for [Co/Pt] ([Co/Ni]) (Fig. S11). When we solve the coupled-spin-diffusion equation for the Pt/FM1/Cu/FM2 structure with spin generation in FM1 held constant, JS_FM2 decreases by a factor of 2 with increasing the Cu thickness from 10 to 100 nm because it is difficult for spins to diffuse through a thick Cu layer. Therefore, given the similar dm/dt in FM1, the demagnetization-driven JS_FM2 with Cu 100 nm is approximately half of that with Cu 10 nm. By contrast, the SDSE-driven JS_FM2 is comparable with Cu 10 nm and 100 nm. This is because the spin generation rate by SDSE, GS of equation (2) in the main text, is proportional to the heat current through FM1; GS with Cu 100 nm is more than twice larger than that with Cu 10 nm. This larger heat current compensates for the larger spin loss by the thicker Cu layer. The JS_FM2 with Cu 10 nm is shown in Fig. S 11, and JS_FM2 with Cu 100 nm is shown in Figs. 6 (a) and (b) in the main text. Supplementary Note 10: Proposed explanation for different signs of SS of [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni] In the 3d transition metals, the s electrons are the main carriers of electrical current, and the interband sd scattering controls σ [11-13]. We approximate σσ = nnee 2 ττ ssss /mm, where n is NATURE PHYSICS 9
10 number density, m * is the effective mass, and τsd is the relaxation time and is primarily determined by the density of states of d electrons at EF, N d (EF), and the sd scattering matrix VV ssss kk,kk, 1 ssss 2 ττ ssss = 2ππ ħ NNd (EE F ) VV kk,kk kk. (S5) Mott s original two current model assumes that the spin of s electrons is conserved during scattering process at temperature well below the Curie temperature where the number of magnons is negligible [11-13]. In our experiment, the relatively short spin relaxation time, especially for [Co/Pt], suggests that the spin-flip scattering occurs with a non-ngligible number of magnons. Here we extend the Mott s sd scattering model including the spin-flip scattering process. Using Matthiessen's rule, the relaxation time of s electron can be expressed in terms of spin-conserving sc and spin-flipping relaxation times, ττ ssss and ττ sf ssss : 1 = 1 sc + 1 ττ ssss ττ ssss ττ sf. ssss (S6) Consequently, the difference in the density of states of majority and minority d electrons gives rise to the spin-dependent relaxation time of majority and minority s electrons: 1, = 2ππ (NN ħ, d (EE F ) Σ sc + NN d, (EE F ) Σ sf ), ττ ssss (S7) where Ʃ sc and Ʃ sf are the summation in Eq. (S5) for the spin-conserving and spin-flipping sd scatterings, respectively. Then spin-dependent σ is then σσ, = nnee2 mm ħ (NN 2ππ, d (EE F ) Σ sc + NN d, (EE F ) Σ sf ) 1. (S8) Thus, the energy derivative of σ, becomes σσ, = nnee2 mm d ħ 2ππ ( NN, d Σ sc + NN, Σ sf ) (NN d, (EE F ) Σ sc + NN d, (EE F ) Σ sf ) 2. EE F EE F (S9) Here, we ignored the energy dependency of Ʃ for simplicity under the assumption that the scattering matrix is approximately constant near EF. 10 NATURE PHYSICS
11 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION These simple derivations indicate that the sign of SS is determined by the signs and magnitudes of NN d,, and the relative magnitude of Ʃ sc and Ʃ sf. The band structure shows EE F d d NN < 0 and NN > 0 for [Co/Pt] and [Co/Ni] [14]. If Ʃ sc >> Ʃ sf, σ / E > 0 and σ / E < 0, EE F EE F which consequently gives SS < 0. This is the case of the [Co/Ni] layer which shows a relatively long spin relaxation time. By contrast, if Ʃ sc Ʃ sf, there could be a sign inversion in the spindependent σ/ E, i.e., σ / E < 0 and σ / E > 0, which consequently result in SS > 0. The very short spin relaxation time of the [Co/Pt] layer suggests Ʃ sc Ʃ sf. Supplementary References 1. Beaurepaire, E., Merle, J.-C., Daunois, A. & Bigot, J.-Y.
