摘要:

由传统的自旋霍尔效应驱动的电流感生自旋轨道力矩被广泛用于操纵磁化。然而,这种方法对于高密度磁存储和存储器器件所需的具有垂直磁各向异性的磁体的切换是不确定的且效率低下的。在这里,我们证明可以通过利用非共线反铁磁体(例如Mn 3 Sn)中的磁自旋霍尔效应来克服这一限制。Mn 3Sn的磁群对称性允许产生携带由面内电荷电流引起的自旋极化的面外自旋电流。该自旋电流驱动面外抗阻尼扭矩,提供相邻Ni/Co多层的垂直磁化的确定性切换。与传统的自旋-轨道转矩器件相比,所观察到的开关不需要任何外部磁场,并且需要低得多的电流密度。我们的研究结果表明,利用非共线反铁磁体中的磁自旋霍尔效应进行低功率自旋电子学研究具有广阔的前景。

英文摘要:

Current induced spin-orbit torques driven by the conventional spin Hall effect are widely used to manipulate the magnetization. This approach, however, is nondeterministic and inefficient for the switching of magnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy that are demanded by the high-density magnetic storage and memory devices. Here, we demonstrate that this limitation can be overcome by exploiting a magnetic spin Hall effect in noncollinear antiferromagnets, such as Mn3Sn. The magnetic group symmetry of Mn3Sn allows generation of the out-of-plane spin current carrying spin polarization induced by an in-plane charge current. This spin current drives an out-of-plane anti-damping torque providing deterministic switching of perpendicular magnetization of an adjacent Ni/Co multilayer. Compared to the conventional spin-orbit torque devices, the observed switching does not need any external magnetic field and requires much lower current density. Our results demonstrate great prospects of exploiting the magnetic spin Hall effect in noncollinear antiferromagnets for low-power spintronics.
