Abstract

The 2D magnet Fe <subscript>3</subscript> GaTe <subscript>2</subscript> has received considerable attention for its high Curie temperature ( T <subscript>C</subscript> ), robust intrinsic ferromagnetism, and significant perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). In this study, the dynamic magnetic properties of Fe <subscript>3</subscript> GaTe <subscript>2</subscript> 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 ( H <subscript>keff</subscript> ). 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 Fe <subscript>3</subscript> GaTe <subscript>2</subscript> is coupled with 2 nm of Co, the H <subscript>keff</subscript> , f , and α just decrease slightly, highlighting the dominant influence of Fe <subscript>3</subscript> GaTe <subscript>2</subscript> . These findings substantially deepen our understanding of Fe <subscript>3</subscript> GaTe <subscript>2</subscript> , promoting the development of spintronic devices based on advanced 2D magnetic materials.
