Enhancing current-induced torques by abutting additional spin polarizer layer to nonmagnetic metal layer
Recently, the switching of a perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnet (FM) by injecting an in-plane current into an attached non-magnet (NM) has become of emerging technological interest. This magnetization switching is attributed to the spin-orbit torque (SOT) originating from the strong spin-orbit coupling of the NM layer. However, the switching efficiency of the NM/FM structure itself may be i...
متن کاملCurrent-induced spin-wave excitations in a single ferromagnetic layer.
Evidence for a current-induced spin-transfer torque effect has been investigated in a series of point contacts to single ferromagnetic layers. At specific current densities, abrupt resistance changes, similar to those attributed to current-induced spin-wave excitations in multilayers, have been observed for one current polarity. The critical current for these resistance changes depends linearly...
متن کاملCurrent Perspectives Spin transfer torques
This tutorial article introduces the physics of spin transfer torques in magnetic devices. Our intention is that it be accessible to beginning graduate students. We provide an elementary discussion of the mechanism of spin transfer torque and review the theoretical and experimental progress in this field. This article is meant to set the stage for the articles which follow in this volume of the...
متن کاملCurrent-induced torques in the presence of spin-orbit coupling.
In systems with strong spin-orbit coupling, the relationship between spin transfer torque and the divergence of the spin current is generalized to a relation between spin transfer torques, total angular momentum current, and mechanical torques. In ferromagnetic semiconductors, where the spin-orbit coupling is large, these considerations modify the behavior of the spin transfer torques. One exam...
