摘要:

理解反铁磁序的电操纵是设计工作在太赫兹频率的反铁磁器件的一个关键方面。重点是共线绝缘反铁磁NiO/Pt薄膜作为一个材料平台,我们确定的结晶取向的域,可以通过电流切换和量化的Néel矢量方向的变化。我们证明了不同的T-域之间的电流脉冲的电开关,发现在这些域的Néel矢量取向是沿$[\pm5\ \pm5\ 19]$,不同的相比,散装$<11\bar{2}>$方向。在沿着$[1\ \pm1\ 0]$方向的电流脉冲$\textbf{j}$之后,Néel矢量$\textbf{n}$切换的最终状态是$\textbf{n}\parallel \textbf{j}$。通过比较所观察到的Néel矢量取向和应变的薄膜,假设这种变化完全来自磁弹性效应,我们量化的磁弹性耦合系数的数量级为$b_{0}+2b_{1}=3*10^7 J\ m^{-3}$。这些信息对于理解反铁磁体中的电流感应开关以及设计和使用自旋电子器件中的有源元件等器件至关重要。

英文摘要:

Understanding the electrical manipulation of antiferromagnetic order is a crucial aspect to enable the design of antiferromagnetic devices working at THz frequency. Focusing on collinear insulating antiferromagnetic NiO/Pt thin films as a materials platform, we identify the crystallographic orientation of the domains that can be switched by currents and quantify the Néel vector direction changes. We demonstrate electrical switching between different T-domains by current pulses, finding that the Néel vector orientation in these domains is along $[\pm5\ \pm5\ 19]$, different compared to the bulk $<11\bar{2}>$ directions. The final state of the Néel vector $\textbf{n}$ switching after current pulses $\textbf{j}$ along the $[1\ \pm1\ 0]$ directions is $\textbf{n}\parallel \textbf{j}$. By comparing the observed Néel vector orientation and the strain in the thin films, assuming that this variation arises solely from magnetoelastic effects, we quantify the order of magnitude of the magnetoelastic coupling coefficient as $b_{0}+2b_{1}=3*10^7 J\ m^{-3}$ . This information is key for the understanding of current-induced switching in antiferromagnets and for the design and use of such devices as active elements in spintronic devices.
