Coherent control of nanomagnet dynamics via ultrafast spin torque pulses
We demonstrate reliable manipulation of the magnetization dynamics of a precessing nanomagnet by precisely controlling the spin transfer torque on the subnanosecond time scale. Using a simple pulse shaping scheme consisting of two ultrafast spin torque pulses with variable amplitudes and delay, we demonstrate coherent control over the precessional orbits and the ability to tune the switching pr...
متن کاملSelf-current induced spin-orbit torque in FeMn/Pt multilayers
Extensive efforts have been devoted to the study of spin-orbit torque in ferromagnetic metal/heavy metal bilayers and exploitation of it for magnetization switching using an in-plane current. As the spin-orbit torque is inversely proportional to the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer, sizable effect has only been realized in bilayers with an ultrathin ferromagnetic layer. Here we demonstrate ...
متن کاملSpin-transfer torque and current-induced vortex superlattices in nanomagnets
Influence of the spin-transfer torque on the vortex state magnetic nanodisk is studied numerically via the Slonczewski-Berger mechanism. The existence of a critical current is determined for the case of same-directed electrical current, its spin polarization, and the polarity of the vortex. The critical current separates two regimes: (i) deformed but static vortex state and (ii) essentially dyn...
متن کاملSpin-polarized current switching of a Co thin film nanomagnet
A thin film Co nanomagnet in the shape of an elongated hexagon has been incorporated in a vertical device structure consisting of the nanomagnet and a thin Cu spacer layer formed on top of a thick Co film. The spin-polarized current flowing between the nanomagnet and the Co film is used to abruptly switch the magnetic alignment of the nanomagnet relative to that of the thick Co layer by the tra...
متن کاملSpin-Flip Scattering Effect on the Current-Induced Spin Torque in Ferromagnet-Insulator-Ferromagnet Tunnel Junctions
We have investigated the current-induced spin transfer torque of a ferromagnet-insulator-ferromagnet tunnel junction by taking the spin-flip scatterings into account. It is found that the spin-flip scattering can induce an additional spin torque, enhancing the maximum of the spin torque and giving rise to an angular shift compared to the case when the spin-flip scatterings are neglected. The ef...
