Observation of Spin Splitting Torque in a Collinear Antiferromagnet RuO2

H. Bai et al.

Summary: This article provides experimental evidence of the spin splitting torque (SST) in collinear antiferromagnet RuO2 films, which combines the advantages of conventional spin transfer torque (STT) and spin-orbit torque (SOT) and enables controllable spin polarization. The findings not only expand the research field of spin torques but also propose the potential of RuO2 as a spin source.

Tilted spin current generated by the collinear antiferromagnet ruthenium dioxide

Arnab Bose et al.

Summary: Symmetry plays a central role in determining the polarization of spin currents induced by electric fields. In this study, an out-of-plane damping-like torque is shown to be generated in RuO2/permalloy devices when the Neel vector of the collinear antiferromagnet RuO2 is canted relative to the sample plane. By measuring characteristic changes in the electric-field-induced torque vector, it is found that RuO2 generates a spin current with a well-defined tilted spin orientation parallel to the Neel vector. This antiferromagnetic spin Hall effect has distinct symmetries from other mechanisms of spin-current generation reported in antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic materials.

Wentao Wang et al.

Current-induced perpendicular effective magnetic field in magnetic heterostructures

Qianbiao Liu et al.

Summary: In this study, we report the discovery and profound impacts of a significant effective perpendicular magnetic field that can arise from asymmetric current spreading within magnetic microstrips and Hall bars. This finding challenges the widely assumed characteristics of an external-magnetic-field-free flow of sigma(z), and highlights the importance of considering current spreading effects in the analysis of spin polarizations and spin-orbit torques in magnetic heterostructures. Technologically, our results provide a novel and universally accessible mechanism for efficient, scalable, and external-magnetic-field-free magnetization switching in memory and computing technologies.

Strong Spin-Orbit Torque Induced by the Intrinsic Spin Hall Effect in Cr1-xPtx

Qianbiao Liu et al.

Summary: By studying the spin-orbit torque in Cr1-xPtx alloys, we have found that the dampinglike spin-orbit torque can be enhanced by tuning the Cr concentration in the Cr1-xPtx layer. The trade-off between the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity of Pt and the spin carrier lifetime in the dirty limit fully explains the mechanism and efficiency of spin-current generation in the Cr1-xPtx alloy.

Critical role of orbital hybridization in the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction of magnetic interfaces

Lijun Zhu et al.

Summary: In this paper, the authors quantitatively establish the roles of orbital hybridization and interfacial spin-orbit coupling (ISOC) in the determination of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), and propose orbital hybridization as a degree of freedom for the development of fast, dense spintronic memory and computing technologies. Through their study of the model magnetic interface Au1-xPtx/Co, they find that DMI, ISOC, and orbital hybridization can be quantified and tuned significantly at the same time by varying the composition of the Au1-xPtx. This research provides a quantitative framework for understanding interfacial DMI of various magnetic interfaces and establishes orbital hybridization as a new degree of freedom for controlling DMI.

Strong enhancement of spin-orbit torques in ferrimagnetic Ptx(Si3N4)1-x/CoTb bilayers by Si3N4 doping

Xin Lin et al.

Summary: We report a strong enhancement of spin-orbit torques in dirty metal Pt by incorporating Si3N4 impurities. The enhancement is attributed to the optimized trade-off between the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity and the spin carrier lifetime in the dirty limit, resulting in a twofold increase in the dampinglike spin-orbit torque per unit current density in Pt-x(Si3N4)(1-x)/Co0.65Tb0.35 bilayers. We also find that only 58% of the angular momentum of the spin current contributes to spin torque generation.

Control of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy at the Fe/MgO interface by phthalocyanine insertion

Shoya Sakamoto et al.

Summary: In this study, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy energy (PMA) at the Fe/MgO interface with Co-phthalocyanine (CoPc) adsorption was investigated. It was found that the CoPc adsorption increased the PMA while maintaining the voltage-controlled magnetic anisotropy effect. X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy measurements revealed that the CoPc adsorption induced hole accumulation at the Fe surface. The enhancement of PMA was attributed to the increased orbital magnetic moment anisotropy of the Fe atoms.

Efficient Electrical Spin Splitter Based on Nonrelativistic Collinear Antiferromagnetism

Rafael Gonzalez-Hernandez et al.

Summary: Through ab initio calculations, it was discovered that the metallic collinear antiferromagnet RuO2 can efficiently generate spin current at room temperature, with a 34 degrees propagation angle between spin-up and spin-down currents. The corresponding spin conductivity is three times larger than the highest value found in a survey of 20,000 nonmagnetic spin-Hall materials. A versatile spin-splitter-torque concept is proposed to overcome limitations in current magnetic memory devices.
