Abstract
The 2D magnet Fe3GaTe2 has received considerable attention for its high Curie temperature (TC), robust intrinsic ferromagnetism, and significant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). In this study, the dynamic magnetic properties of Fe3GaTe2 are systematically investigated using an all-optical pump–probe technique. We find that the spin precession frequency (f) is as high as 351.2 GHz at T = 10 K under a field of H = 70 kOe. However, it decreases to 242.8 GHz at 300 K, mainly due to the reduced effective PMA field (Hkeff). The Gilbert damping factor (α) is modest, which increases from 0.039 (10 K) to 0.075 (300 K) owing to the enhanced scattering rate. Interestingly, when Fe3GaTe2 is coupled with 2 nm of Co, the Hkeff, f, and α just decrease slightly, highlighting the dominant influence of Fe3GaTe2. These findings substantially deepen our understanding of Fe3GaTe2, promoting the development of spintronic devices based on advanced 2D magnetic materials.
