单个Co纳米粒子中隧道电流引起的磁不稳定性

Magnetic instability induced by tunnel current in single Co nanoparticles

F. Tijiwa Birk, W. Jiang, D. Davidović

摘要:

测量了单个Co纳米颗粒在稀释制冷机温度下的磁滞回线。纳米颗粒通过隧道结与块状Al引线电接触。隧道电流对磁场显示磁滞回线。通过电流降低磁切换场,并且可以通过施加电压脉冲来切换纳米颗粒的磁化,这表明纳米颗粒的磁稳定性被电子输运减弱。大电流可以驱动磁化的额外转变和随机切换。

英文摘要:

Measurements of magnetic hysteresis loops in single Co nanoparticles at dilution refrigerator temperatures are presented. The nanoparticles are in electric contact with bulk Al leads via tunnel junctions. The tunnel current versus magnetic field displays a magnetic hysteresis loop. The magnetic switching field is reduced by current, and the magnetization of the nanoparticle can be switched by applying a voltage pulse, demonstrating that the magnetic stability of the nanoparticle is diminished by electron transport. Additional transitions and random switches of magnetization can be driven by large currents.
