Chirality from interfacial spin-orbit coupling effects in magnetic bilayers.
As nanomagnetic devices scale to smaller sizes, spin-orbit coupling due to the broken structural inversion symmetry at interfaces becomes increasingly important. Here, we study interfacial spin-orbit coupling effects in magnetic bilayers using a simple Rashba model. The spin-orbit coupling introduces chirality into the behavior of the electrons and through them into the energetics of the magnet...
متن کاملTunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance driven by resonant surface states: First-principles calculations of a Fe(001) surface
Fully-relativistic first-principles calculations of the Fe(001) surface demonstrate that resonant surface (interface) states may produce sizeable tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance in magnetic tunnel junctions with a single magnetic electrode. The effect is driven by the spin-orbit coupling. It shifts the resonant surface band via the Rashba effect when the magnetization direction changes....
متن کاملTunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance in Fe/GaAs/Au junctions: orbital effects
We report experiments on epitaxially grown Fe/GaAs/Au tunnel junctions demonstrating that the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) effect can be controlled by a magnetic field. Theoretical modelling shows that the interplay of the orbital effects of a magnetic field and the Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling in the GaAs barrier leads to an independent contribution to the TAMR effect with...
متن کاملTunnel-barrier-enhanced dc voltage signals induced by magnetization dynamics in magnetic tunnel junctions
We theoretically study the recently observed tunnel-barrier-enhanced dc voltage signals generated by magnetization precession in magnetic tunnel junctions. While the spin pumping is suppressed by the high tunneling impedance, two complementary processes are predicted to result in a sizable voltage generation in ferromagnet F insulator I normal metal N and F I F junctions with one ferromagnet be...
متن کاملAnisotropic tunneling magnetoresistance and tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance: Spin-orbit coupling in magnetic tunnel junctions
The effects of the spin-orbit coupling SOC on the tunneling magnetoresistance of ferromagnet/ semiconductor/normal-metal tunnel junctions are investigated. Analytical expressions for the tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance TAMR are derived within an approximation in which the dependence of the magnetoresistance on the magnetization orientation in the ferromagnet originates from the interfer...
