摘要:

自旋轨道矩(SOT)驱动的连续开关是实现自旋电子学神经形态计算的首选。在这里,我们已经应用聚焦离子束(FIB)选择性地照射图案化区域的Pt/Co/MgO带与垂直磁各向异性(PMA),软化的照明区域,并实现连续开关的SOT驱动的成核过程。结果表明,较大的面内场有利于降低成核势垒,增加转变过程中的成核畴数和中间态数,最终使转变曲线平坦化.我们提出了一个唯象模型来解释磁化强度与电流的关系以及成核畴数与外加电流和磁场的关系。因此,这项研究可以促进SOT设备的诞生,这是有前途的神经形态计算架构。

英文摘要:

Continuous switching driven by spin-orbit torque (SOT) is preferred to realize neuromorphic computing in a spintronic manner. Here we have applied focused ion beam (FIB) to selectively illuminate patterned regions in a Pt/Co/MgO strip with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), soften the illuminated areas and realize the continuous switching by a SOT-driven nucleation process. It is found that a large in-plane field is a benefit to reduce the nucleation barrier, increase the number of nucleated domains and intermediate states during the switching progress, and finally flatten the switching curve. We proposed a phenomenological model for descripting the current dependence of magnetization and the dependence of the number of nucleation domains on the applied current and magnetic field. This study can thus promote the birth of SOT devices, which are promising in neuromorphic computing architectures.
