摘要:

通过重金属中的自旋霍尔效应产生纯自旋电流是近十年来的一个活跃的研究课题。为了减少有效地切换相邻铁磁层以用于应用所需的能量,不仅应该增加电荷-自旋转换效率,而且还应该降低重金属的纵向电阻率。在这项工作中,我们研究了自旋霍尔电导率在W_{1-x} Ta_{x} / CoFeB / MgO(x = 0 - 0.2)使用自旋扭矩铁磁共振测量。将W与Ta合金化后,样品的有效自旋霍尔角(从-0.15到-0.3)和纵向电阻率(60 - 120 μW·cm-1)都发生了2倍的变化。当Ta含量为11%时,自旋霍尔角达到-0.3,纵向电阻率为100 μW·cm-1,这使得这种W基合金的功耗非常低。这项工作表明,溅射沉积的W-Ta合金可能是一种有前途的高能效自旋电流产生材料。

英文摘要:

Generating pure spin currents via the spin Hall effect in heavy metals has been an active topic of research in the last decade. In order to reduce the energy required to efficiently switch neighbouring ferromagnetic layers for applications, one should not only increase the charge- to-spin conversion efficiency but also decrease the longitudinal resistivity of the heavy metal. In this work, we investigate the spin Hall conductivity in W_{1-x}Ta_{x} / CoFeB / MgO (x = 0 - 0.2) using spin torque ferromagnetic resonance measurements. Alloying W with Ta leads to a factor of two change in both the damping-like effective spin Hall angle (from - 0.15 to - 0.3) and longitudinal resistivity (60 - 120 μW cm). At 11% Ta concentration, a remarkably high spin Hall angle value of - 0.3 is achieved with a low longitudinal resistivity 100 μW cm, which could lead to a very low power consumption for this W-based alloy. This work demonstrates sputter-deposited W-Ta alloys could be a promising material for power-efficient spin current generation.
