摘要:

自旋极化电流通过在铁磁薄膜上施加转矩来有效地控制铁磁薄膜的磁化强度。如果自旋电流是通过铁磁层和非磁性层之间的自旋-轨道相互作用产生的,则这种效应被称为自旋-轨道转矩(SOT),并通过测量注入器件的充电电流产生的有效场来量化。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种新的实验技术,直接量化的SOT的基础上测量的直流电流-电压(IV)特性的非线性霍尔条器件采用一个简单的仪器。通过对IV曲线的分析,该技术直接提供了有效场与电流的线性度、热效应可能相关的电流范围的检测、当不满足SOT的对称关系时未对准伪影的出现、以及单域近似的有效性的条件,这在开关电流和二次谐波产生的现有技术实验中没有考虑。研究了具有垂直磁各向异性的Ta/Co/Pt非对称叠层中SOT引起的反阻尼和类场力矩。

英文摘要:

Spin polarized currents are employed to efficiently manipulate the magnetization of ferromagnetic ultrathin films by exerting a torque on it. If the spin currents are generated by means of the spin-orbit interaction between a ferromagnetic and a non-magnetic layer, the effect is known as spin-orbit torque (SOT), and is quantified by measuring the effective fields produced by a charge current injected into the device. In this work, we present a new experimental technique to quantify directly the SOT based on the measurement of non-linearities of the dc current-voltage (IV) characteristics in Hall bar devices employing a simple instrumentation. Through the analysis of the IV curves, the technique provides directly the linearity of the effective fields with current, the detection of the current range in which the thermal effects can be relevant, the appearance of misalignments artefacts when the symmetry relations of SOT are not fulfilled, and the conditions for the validity of the single domain approximations, which are not considered in switching current and second harmonic generation state-of-the-art experiments. We have studied the SOT induced antidamping and field-like torques in Ta/Co/Pt asymmetric stacks with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy.
