摘要:

具有大的垂直磁各向异性(PMA)和高自旋轨道矩(SOT)效率的磁性三层膜是制备非易失性磁存储器和逻辑器件的关键。在这项工作中,PMA和SOTs系统地研究了在Pt/Co/Cr堆叠作为Cr厚度的函数。在10189 Oe附近获得了增强的垂直各向异性场,该各向异性场与Co和Cr层之间的界面有关。此外,一个有效的自旋霍尔角高达0.19观察到由于改善的抗阻尼类扭矩通过采用不同的金属Pt和Cr与相反的符号的自旋霍尔角的Co层的相对侧。最后,从自旋霍尔角和纵向电阻率的温度依赖关系中,我们观察到自旋霍尔角和纵向电阻率之间存在近似线性关系,这表明自旋霍尔效应可能是由非本征斜散射机制引起的.我们的研究结果表明,具有较大负自旋霍尔角的3d过渡金属Cr可以用于设计三层膜的界面,以增强PMA和SOTs。

英文摘要:

Magnetic trilayers having large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) and high spin-orbit torques (SOTs) efficiency are the key to fabricate nonvolatile magnetic memory and logic devices. In this work, PMA and SOTs are systematically studied in Pt/Co/Cr stacks as a function of Cr thickness. An enhanced perpendicular anisotropy field around 10189 Oe is obtained and is related to the interface between Co and Cr layers. In addition, an effective spin Hall angle up to 0.19 is observed due to the improved antidamping-like torque by employing dissimilar metals Pt and Cr with opposite signs of spin Hall angles on opposite sides of Co layer. Finally, we observed a nearly linear dependence between spin Hall angle and longitudinal resistivity from their temperature dependent properties, suggesting that the spin Hall effect may arise from extrinsic skew scattering mechanism. Our results indicate that 3d transition metal Cr with a large negative spin Hall angle could be used to engineer the interfaces of trilayers to enhance PMA and SOTs.
