“…While the literature includes studies on spin pumping in coupled layers [24][25][26][27][28], most focus on one or a few frequencies. Here we investigate spin pumping in a wide frequency range of 3-37 GHz using a broadband FMR setup and examine four regimes: strong, intermediate, weak, and zero IEC.…”

Magnetic thin films at ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) leak angular momentum, which may be absorbed by adjacent layers. This phenomenon, known as spin pumping, is manifested by an increase in the resonance linewidth (∆H), and the closely related Gilbert damping. Another effect of this transfer of spin currents is a dynamical and long-range coupling that can drive two magnetic layers into a collective precession when their FMR frequencies coincide. A collective behavior is also found in magnetic trilayers with interlayer exchange coupling (IEC). In this study we investigate the interplay between IEC and spin pumping, using Co/Cu/Py pseudo-spin values. We employ broadband FMR spectroscopy to explore both the frequency and coupling-strength dependence of ∆H. Our observations show that there exists a cut-off frequency, set by the IEC strength, below which the precession is truly collective and the spin pumping is suppressed. These results demonstrate that it is possible to control the spin pumping efficiency by varying the frequency or the interlayer exchange coupling.
