Spin–orbit torque-assisted switching in magnetic insulator thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy

As an in-plane charge current flows in a heavy metal film with spin-orbit coupling, it produces a torque on and thereby switches the magnetization in a neighbouring ferromagnetic metal film. Such spin-orbit torque (SOT)-induced switching has been studied extensively in recent years and has shown higher efficiency than switching using conventional spin-transfer torque. Here we report the SOT-ass...

Thin films of barium ferrite with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy produced by laser ablation deposition

Barium ferrite thin films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy have been prepared on heated (001) sapphire substrates by laser ablation deposition in an oxygen atmosphere using a KrF excimer laser. X-ray diffraction patterns reveal highly oriented films of the magnetoplumbite phase with a c-axis angular spread of 1.8”. Scanning electron micrographs reveal that these films are polycrystalline ...
