چکیده
We present measurements of spin-orbit torques generated by Ir as a function film thickness in sputtered Ir/CoFeB and Ir/Co samples. find that provides dampinglike component torque with maximum spin-torque conductivity $\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{DL}}^{\mathrm{eff}}=(1.4\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}0.1)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{5}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\frac{\ensuremath{\hbar}}{2e}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ efficiency ${\ensuremath{\xi}}_{DL}=0.042\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.005$, which is sufficient to drive switching 0.8 nm CoFeB perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. also observe surprisingly large fieldlike (FLT). Measurements indicate substantial contribution the FLT from an interface mechanism, so ultrathin limit there nonzero $\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{\mathrm{FL}}^{\mathrm{eff}}=\ensuremath{-}(5.0\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}0.5)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{4}\phantom{\rule{0.28em}{0ex}}\frac{\ensuremath{\hbar}}{2e}{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}{\mathrm{m}}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. When becomes comparable or greater than its spin diffusion length, $1.6\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.3\phantom{\rule{0.16em}{0ex}}\mathrm{nm}$, smaller bulk torque.

Intrinsic spin torque without spin-orbit coupling.
We derive an intrinsic contribution to the non-adiabatic spin torque for non-uniform magnetic textures. It differs from previously considered contributions in several ways and can be the dominant contribution in some models. It does not depend on the change in occupation of the electron states due to the current flow but rather is due to the perturbation of the electronic states when an electri...
متن کاملSpin-torque ferromagnetic resonance induced by the spin Hall effect.
We demonstrate that the spin Hall effect in a thin film with strong spin-orbit scattering can excite magnetic precession in an adjacent ferromagnetic film. The flow of alternating current through a Pt/NiFe bilayer generates an oscillating transverse spin current in the Pt, and the resultant transfer of spin angular momentum to the NiFe induces ferromagnetic resonance dynamics. The Oersted field...
متن کاملNanowire spin torque oscillator driven by spin orbit torques.
Spin torque from spin current applied to a nanoscale region of a ferromagnet can act as negative magnetic damping and thereby excite self-oscillations of its magnetization. In contrast, spin torque uniformly applied to the magnetization of an extended ferromagnetic film does not generate self-oscillatory magnetic dynamics but leads to reduction of the saturation magnetization. Here we report st...
متن کاملGiant facet-dependent spin-orbit torque and spin Hall conductivity in the triangular antiferromagnet IrMn3
There has been considerable interest in spin-orbit torques for the purpose of manipulating the magnetization of ferromagnetic elements for spintronic technologies. Spin-orbit torques are derived from spin currents created from charge currents in materials with significant spin-orbit coupling that propagate into an adjacent ferromagnetic material. A key challenge is to identify materials that ex...
متن کاملSpin Hall Current and Spin-transfer Torque in Ferromagnetic Metal
We theoretically examine the spin-transfer torque in the presence of spin-orbit interaction (SOI) at impurities in a ferromagnetic metal on the basis of linear response theory. We obtained, in addition to the usual spin-transfer torque, a new contributioin ∼ jSH ·∇n in the first order in SOI, where jSH is the spin Hall current driven by an external electric field. This is a reaction to inverse ...
