摘要:

提出了一种磁性隧道结(MTJ),其两个铁磁层分别为单椭圆(SE)和双交叉椭圆(TCE)。MTJ呈现出与TCE结构的四种电阻状态相对应的四种不同的电阻状态。在下面的Ta层中流动的电流在相邻的TCE结构中产生自旋轨道转矩,其引起四态MTJ在其所有电阻状态之间的无场切换。所展示的四态MTJ是制造具有多种电阻状态的多级MTJ的重要一步,这在各种自旋电子学应用中可能是重要的,例如多级磁随机存取或神经形态存储器。

英文摘要:

We present a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) where its two ferromagnetic layers are in the form of a single ellipse (SE) and two-crossing ellipses (TCE). The MTJ exhibits four distinct resistance states corresponding to the four remanent states of the TCE structure. Flowing current in an underlying Ta layer generates in the adjacent TCE structure spin-orbit torques which induce field-free switching of the four-state MTJ between all its resistance states. The demonstrated four-state MTJ is an important step towards fabricating multi-level MTJs with numerous resistance states which could be important in various spintronics applications, such as multi-level magnetic random access or neuromorphic memory.
