摘要:

用He ~+离子辐照对Pt/Co/AlOx三层膜的磁化反转和畴壁动力学进行了调谐。高达1.5 × 10 $^{15}$ ions/cm $^2$的通量强烈降低垂直磁各向异性(PMA),而不影响自发磁化强度或Dzyaloshinskiiii-Moriya相互作用(Dzyaloshinskiii-Moriya interaction)的强度。这证实了鲁棒性的界面化学互混,已经预测的理论的相互作用。在平行的PMA在辐照样品中的减少,观察到的退钉场的强烈减少。这允许畴壁以相对于原始膜所需的较低磁场达到大的最大速度。因此,将PMA与PMA解耦对于基于畴壁动力学的低能器件的设计是有益的。当用较大的He+注量辐照样品时,磁化强度接近面外/面内重取向转变,其中100 nm尺寸的磁skyrmion稳定。我们观察到,随着He+注量的增加,skyrmion尺寸减小,而这些磁纹理变得更加稳定,对外部磁场的应用。

英文摘要:

Magnetization reversal and domain wall dynamics in Pt/Co/AlOx trilayers have been tuned by He+ ion irradiation. Fluences up to 1.5x10$^{15}$ ions/cm$^2$ strongly decrease the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), without affecting neither the spontaneous magnetization nor the strength of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). This confirms the robustness of the DMI interaction against interfacial chemical intermixing, already predicted by theory. In parallel with the decrease of the PMA in the irradiated samples, a strong decrease of the depinning field is observed. This allows the domain walls to reach large maximum velocities with lower magnetic fields with respect to those needed for the pristine films. Decoupling PMA from DMI can therefore be beneficial for the design of low energy devices based on domain wall dynamics. When the samples are irradiated with larger He+ fluences, the magnetization gets close to the out-of-plane/in-plane reorientation transition where 100nm size magnetic skyrmions are stabilized. We observe that as the He+ fluence increases, the skyrmion size decreases while these magnetic textures become more stable against the application of an external magnetic field.
