报告题目:Antiferromagnets with large spin orbit torque efficiency and Electrical

                    switching of single magnetic layer with perpendicular anisotropy

内容简介:Electrical manipulation of magnetization is essential for integration of magnetic functionalities such as magnetic memories and magnetic logic devices into electronic circuits. The current induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) in heavy metal/ferromagnet (HM/FM) bilayers via the spin Hall effect in the HM and/or the Rashba effect at the interfaces provides an efficient way to switch the magnetization. In current presentation, we will present our recent works on antiferromagnets with large spin orbit torque efficiency and electric switching of single magnetic layer with perpendicular anisotropy. (1) combining the results from neutron diffraction and spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance experiments, we show that the room-temperature magnetic structure of epitaxially grown L10-IrMn (a collinear AFM) is distinct from the widely presumed bulk one. It consists of two types of domains with the spin axes orienting towards [111] and [-111], respectively. We find that this unconventional magnetic structure is responsible for a much larger SOT efficiency up to 0.60±0.04, comparing to 0.083±0.002 for the polycrystalline face-centered-cubic IrMn. Furthermore, we reveal that the magnetic structure of L10-IrMn induces a large isotropic bulk contribution to the SOT efficiency and an anisotropic interfacial contribution of comparable magnitude, where the latter depends strongly on the electric current direction in the film plane. (2) Current induced SOT switching in a single magnetic layer has also been observed in ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As and antiferromagnetic metals CuMnAs and Mn2Au with globally or locally broken inversion symmetry, respectively. Here we demonstrate the current induced magnetization switching in a single ferromagnetic layer, L10 FePt, with centrosymmetric crystal structure. The spin-orbit effective fields increase with the chemical ordering of L10 FePt films. In 20 nm FePt films with higher chemical ordering, we observe a surprisingly large charge-to-spin conversion efficiency, which is one order of magnitude larger than that in HM/FM bilayers. In addition, we find the switching current density of the 20 nm FePt film as low as 7.0×106 A/cm2.
