摘要:

我们报告的电流诱导自旋轨道转矩和巨磁阻在一个单一的设备,以实现全电写入和读出的磁化相结合。该器件由垂直磁化的TbCo和Co层组成,由Pt或Cu间隔物隔开。通过这样的层的电流注入施加自旋轨道转矩和切换的Co层的磁化,而TbCo磁化保持固定。随后的电流注入较低的幅度感测的Co和TbCo层的磁化的相对取向,这导致在两个不同的电阻水平的平行和反平行对齐由于电流在平面内的巨磁阻效应。我们进一步表明,包括一个单一的TbCo/间隔层/Co三层的器件的巨磁电阻可以提高从0.02%到6%,通过使用铜间隔层代替Pt。这种类型的设备提供了一个替代路线的两端自旋电子存储器,可以与适度的努力制造。

英文摘要:

We report on the combination of current-induced spin-orbit torques and giant magnetoresistance in a single device to achieve all-electrical write and read out of the magnetization. The device consists of perpendicularly magnetized TbCo and Co layers separated by a Pt or Cu spacer. Current injection through such layers exerts spin-orbit torques and switches the magnetization of the Co layer while the TbCo magnetization remains fixed. Subsequent current injection of lower amplitude senses the relative orientation of the magnetization of the Co and TbCo layers, which results in two distinct resistance levels for parallel and antiparallel alignment due to the current-in-plane giant magnetoresistance effect. We further show that the giant magnetoresistance of devices including a single TbCo/spacer/Co trilayer can be improved from 0.02% to 6% by using a Cu spacer instead of Pt. This type of devices offers an alternative route to a two terminal spintronic memory that can be fabricated with moderate effort.
