铂合金自旋-轨道转矩转换效率的基准测试

Benchmarking of spin-orbit torque switching efficiency in Pt alloys

Chen-Yu Hu, Chi-Feng Pai

摘要:

我们系统地研究了具有垂直磁各向异性的Pt $_{x}$ Cu $_{1-x}$ /Co/MgO磁性异质结构,并报告了Pt-Cu合金系统自旋轨道扭矩转换效率的显着改善。由磁滞回线位移测量确定的Pt $_{0.57}$ Cu $_{0.43}$的最大类阻尼自旋轨道力矩效率约为0.44,这是由于合金化调整了较高的电阻率。此外,从电流感应开关测量的结果,一个较低的临界开关电流密度是通过适当的合金化,由于同时提高自旋轨道转矩效率和减少的钴层的矫顽力。最后,证明了使用Pt $_{x}$ Cu $_{1-x}$合金降低功耗和保持良好热稳定性的能力,这表明Pt $_{x}$ Cu $_{1-x}$是未来SOT-MRAM应用的有吸引力的候选者。

英文摘要:

We systematically survey on Pt$_{x}$Cu$_{1-x}$/Co/MgO magnetic heterostructure with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and report a significant improvement on spin-orbit torque switching efficiency in Pt-Cu alloy system. The largest damping-like spin-orbit torque efficiency determined by hysteresis loop shift measurement is about 0.44 for Pt$_{0.57}$Cu$_{0.43}$, which is originated from the higher resistivity tuned by alloying. Moreover, from the results of current-induced switching measurements, a lower critical switching current density is achieved by proper alloying due to the simultaneous enhancement of spin-orbit torque efficiency and reduction of coercivity of the Co layer. Finally, the ability to lower power consumption and preserve good thermal stability using Pt$_{x}$Cu$_{1-x}$ alloy is demonstrated, which suggests that Pt$_{x}$Cu$_{1-x}$ is an attractive candidate for future SOT-MRAM applications.
