Contribution of the spin current to the damping of the magnetic moment precession of Fe impurities in Pd

We investigate the spin dynamics of a magnetic adatom on a non-magnetic surface with strong Stoner enhancement. We find a strong damping of the adatom's magnetization precession and a large shift of the resonance frequency from its bare value. Stoner enhancement in the substrate reduces the damping. We explore the damping dependence on features of the electronic structure.
