Depending on the Fe concentration, the binary alloy Fe1−xVx is usually bcc-ordered and exhibits a low energy product as well as low intrinsic Gilbert damping, which makes it a candidate platform for low-loss spintronic devices. While an optimum V concentration of x=0.2 was found for the intrinsic Gilbert damping, at higher concentrations of x=0.4 the formation of a paramagnetic (PM), amorphous phase can be exploited. Using post-growth ion irradiation on the 40 nm thin-films, a phase transition from PM to FM can be achieved, enabling one-step writing of FM structures in a PM template, yielding a Gilbert damping parameter of 0.0027. In order to gain a deeper understanding of the aforementioned phase transition, Nuclear Inelastic Scattering experiments were performed, giving direct insights into the Fe-partial vibrational density of states of the as-grown and ion irradiated films. Along with Mössbauer spectroscopy, the interplay of chemical and structural disorder is deduced.
We acknowledge funding by the DFG through project no. 322462997 and the ESRF for granting the beamtime at beamline ID18.
