摘要:

无场自旋-轨道矩诱导的垂直磁化180°重取向有利于高性能磁存储器。反铁磁材料(AFM)可以提供比铁磁对应物更高的操作速度。在本文中,我们提出了一个三层AFM/绝缘体/重金属结构的AFM存储器件。研究表明,采用两个正交电流分别提供均匀的类阻尼力矩和类交错场力矩,可以实现垂直Néel矢量的AFM的无场开关.可逆切换可以通过反转任一电流来获得。1.79 10^11 A/m^2的电流密度足以引起开关。此外,在切换期间,两个磁矩变得非共线。这使得40微微秒内的超快切换成为可能。提出的器件和切换机制为确定性地切换具有垂直Néel矢量的AFM提供了一种很有前途的方法。它还可以刺激基于AFM的超快MRAM的发展。

英文摘要:

The field-free spin-orbit torque induced 180° reorientation of perpendicular magnetization is beneficial for the high performance magnetic memory. The antiferromagnetic material (AFM) can provide higher operation speed than the ferromagnetic counterpart. In this paper, we propose a trilayer AFM/Insulator/Heavy Metal structure as the AFM memory device. We show that the field-free switching of the AFM with perpendicular Néel vector can be achieved by using two orthogonal currents, which provide the uniform damping-like torque and stagger field-like torque, respectively. The reversible switching can be obtained by reversing either current. A current density of 1.79 10^11A/m^2 is sufficient to induce the switching. In addition, the two magnetic moments become noncollinear during the switching. This enables an ultrafast switching within 40 picoseconds. The device and switching mechanism proposed in this work offer a promising approach to deterministically switch the AFM with perpendicular Néel vector. It can also stimulate the development of ultrafast AFM-based MRAM.
