AI总结:

针对磁性绝缘体中自旋轨道矩测定受弱信号与寄生热电效应限制的问题,提出结合谐波霍尔检测与宏自旋模拟的定量方法,精准测得Bi掺杂YIG/Pt异质结的SOT参数,揭示焦耳热对界面自旋透明度的影响,为相关基础研究与器件设计提供支撑。

摘要:

自旋轨道矩(SOTs)已成为电学调控铁磁异质结磁化状态的有效手段。近年来,重金属(HM)/磁性绝缘体(MI)双层膜中的自旋轨道矩因其可调的磁学性质与绝缘特性受到越来越多的关注。因此,定量表征HM/MI异质结中的SOTs,对于从根本上理解电荷-自旋相互作用及设计新型器件至关重要。但目前由于电信号输出微弱、焦耳热引发的寄生热电效应占主导,MI中SOTs的精准测定仍受到限制。\n本文提出了一种基于谐波霍尔电压检测与宏自旋模拟的简便方法,可在MI基体系中分别精准量化类阻尼SOT、类场SOT以及热电贡献。采用该方法对典型的Bi掺杂YIG/Pt异质结开展实验,得到类场与类阻尼SOT的精确值,在电流密度为1.7×10¹¹ A/m²时分别达到-0.14 mT与-0.15 mT。我们进一步发现,电流诱导的焦耳热会改变界面处的自旋透明度,同时降低自旋霍尔磁电阻与类阻尼SOT。这些结果与所设计的方法有助于从根本上理解MI基异质结中的SOTs,并为需要精准掌握SOTs参数的新型器件设计提供支撑。

英文摘要:

Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) have emerged as an efficient means to electrically control the magnetization in ferromagnetic heterostructures. Lately, an increasing attention has been devoted to SOTs in heavy metal (HM)/magnetic insulator (MI) bilayers owing to their tunable magnetic properties and insulating nature. Quantitative characterization of SOTs in HM/MI heterostructures are, thus, vital for fundamental understanding of charge-spin interrelations and designing novel devices. However, the accurate determination of SOTs in MIs have been limited so far due to small electrical signal outputs and dominant spurious thermoelectric effects caused by Joule heating. Here, we report a simple methodology based on harmonic Hall voltage detection and macrospin simulations to accurately quantify the damping-like and field-like SOTs, and thermoelectric contributions separately in MI-based systems. Experiments on the archetypical Bi-doped YIG/Pt heterostructure using the developed method yield precise values for the field-like and damping-like SOTs, reaching -0.14 and -0.15 mT per 1.7x$10^{ 11}$ A/$m^2$, respectively. We further reveal that current-induced Joule heating changes the spin transparency at the interface, reducing the spin Hall magnetoresistance and damping-like SOT, simultaneously. These results and the devised method can be beneficial for fundamental understanding of SOTs in MI-based heterostructures and designing new devices where accurate knowledge of SOTs is necessary.
