Chirality is one of important research topics in the diverse field because it leads interesting phenomena.[1] Since the chirality by the inversion symmetry breaking has been observed in magnetic ordered system,[2] researches on asymmetric exchange coupling was actively investigated.[3] Here, the chirality is known as affecting to the dynamic and static phenomena, so it can be one approach that influence on the magnetization state as well. But for understanding the role of chirality deeply, it is necessary to control the chirality as a unique variable while keeping other materials parameters. However, controlling only the chirality is limited because it is determined from the materials and structural origins in general, affecting other parameters simultaneously. Therefore, more consideration is still required for revealing the role of chirality deeply.
For understanding the chirality precisely, we prepared the lateral perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) symmetry breaking system. In this system, magnetizations of each PMA react differently by the SOT, which results in in-homogeneous spin configuration (i-hSC). Here, notable point is that i-hSC can induce different system energy when it is combined with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) as seen in Fig. 1.
The effect of i-hSC can be confirmed experimentally by measuring magnetization switching because the chirality reversal also occurs simultaneously (clockwise (CW) ↔ counter-clockwise (CCW)). Here, because more (less) energy should be required for switching the stabilized (destabilized) i-hSC, opposite directional shift of hysteresis loop is shown as seen in Fig. 2. The resultant degree of shift is directly related with the system energy variation, and our experimental analysis suggests the possibility of the chirality as one method determining the magnetization state.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

Skyrmion based logic devices are found to be promising for next-generation energy-efficient, high speed information processing technologies owing to the compact size and topologically protected spin texture of the skyrmions [1,2]. Skyrmions are nano-scale swirling spin textures with topological protection that exhibit particle-like behaviour. In this work, we exploit skyrmion for various logic operations using a Gate to locally alter the magnetic properties that control the skyrmion motion in the logic device using micromagnetic simulation. For example, we have shown the OR and AND logic operations in a single device by flowing current through a metallic gate and the resultant Oersted field (HOe) controls the skyrmion trajectory (Fig. 1(a)). The HOe generated near the Gate is one of the efficient ways to realize the logic operations [3]. By simply switching OFF and ON the current at the metallic gate, we can toggle between OR & AND logic operations (Fig. 1(b & c)), respectively. The binary information is denoted by the presence and absence of the skyrmion as “1” and “0”, respectively. Fig. 1(d) shows the realization of the AND logic for a specific combination of skyrmion driving current density (j) and HOe. The logic functions are implemented in the device structure by virtue of several physical effects on skyrmion motion such as spin-orbit torque, skyrmion-edge repulsion, skyrmion-skyrmion topological repulsion and skyrmion Hall effect. To understand the motion of the skyrmions and stability, we estimated the Skyrmion Hall angle. The performance of the logic device is studied by varying the material and geometrical parameters. In this presentation, we would like to explain various logic operations including a majority logic device based on skyrmions with different Gate operation schemes and novel logic device architectures for computation. The results are interesting for next generation energy-efficient and high-density computing technologies.

Logic devices based on gate controlled skyrmion trajectory

We study the efficiencies of damping-like torque in Nb/Ni and Ta/Ni bilayers by the spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) technique1 and compare it with Nb/Ni81Fe19(Py) and Ta/Py as a function of the thickness of ferromagnet. In both these systems, we observe that the sign of the damping-like torque is negative for the Nb/Py and it is positive for the Nb/Ni system suggesting two competing mechanisms responsible for the torque on the magnet: (1) spin-current generated from the bulk of Nb and Ta due to spin Hall effect (SHE) producing the spin-orbit torques that are predicted to have a negative sign1 and (2) orbital current2,3 generated from the bulk of Nb and Ta which convert into the spin-current while entering in the ferromagnet due to the spin-orbit coupling of the ferromagnet which is predicted to produce an orbital-torque with the positive sign4,5. In Ta/Ni and Nb/Ni bilayers, the orbital current is dominant as Ni is predicted to be a good detector of the orbital current as compared to Py resulting in the sign reversal of the damping-like torque efficiency in Ta/Ni and Nb/Ni bilayers as compared to Ta/Py and Nb/Py samples. We further inserted a Cu spacer between the non-magnet and Ni that still shows the positive sign of the damping-like torque suggesting a generation of the orbital current from the bulk of Ta and Nb. Generation of orbital torque will open up new possibilities to manipulate the magnetization more efficiently6.<br >

Observation of non local orbital transport and sign reversal of damping

We investigated orthogonal spin-orbit-induced (SOI) fields generated by a current along the [010] crystallographic direction in a ferromagnetic semiconductor GaMnAs film with 4-fold in-plane magnetic anisotropy. To perforem this study, we fabricated a Hall device aligned with the [010] direction, and carried out magnetoresistance (MR) measurements to monitor the magnetization reversal process in the film. Field scans of MR measured with opposite current polarities (Fig. 1(a)) clearly show shifts in opposite direction, indicating the presence of current-direction-dependent effective magnetic fields. The observed hysteresis shift is caused by the simultaneous presence of Dresselhaus and Rashba SOI fields that are perpendicular to each other when the current is oriented along the [010] direction. In order to quantify the two SOI fields, we performed angle-dependent MR measurements with two opposite current polarities (Fig. 1(b)). The splitting in transition angles between the two polarities increases with decreasing magnetic field. The equation relating this splitting and the applied external field was developed based on magnetic free energy that includes the effect of the two orthogonal SOI fields. Based on this formulation, we were able to obtain the magnitudes of the Rashba and Dresselhaus SOI fields from the magnetization transition angles as 0.568 and 1.632 Oe, respectively, at current density of 4.80×105 A/cm2 (2mA).

Measurement of Orthogonal Spin orbit Field Current along the [010] Crystallographic Direction in GaMnAs Film

A magnetic wire is one of the attractive candidates for high capacity memories and logic devices with low power consumption [1]. We reported that the wire of rare-earth transition metal (RE-TM) amorphous alloy show a current induced domain wall motion (CIDWM) with a faster wall speed of more than 1000 m/sec and a current induced magnetization switching (CIMS) with a lower current density of 5.5 MA/cm2 [2, 3]. However, domain creation method in the wire is one of the key technologies for their applications [4, 5]. In this paper, we demonstrate a laser assisted current induced magnetization switching in TbCo/Pt hetero-structure wire.
Figure 1 shows measuring setup for laser assisted current induced magnetization switching. A wire of 3 µm width is irradiated by laser spot of 1 µm diameter under applying both pulse current and external field. The film was fabricated on a thermally oxidized silicon substrate using a sputtering system. TbCo 12 nm layer was co-sputtered by Tb and Co targets and Pt layer was sputtered by Pt target as 2 nm under layer and 4 nm heavy metal layer. The film was patterned by SEM lithography with a liftoff method. CIMS was observed using a MOKE microscope.
Figure 2 shows 100 nsec pulse current dependencies of magnetizing switched domain diameter with/without laser assist, where external in-plane field of 500 Oe. The inset shows microscope view of the wire. Blue line showed a CIMS threshold for without laser assist. CIMS domain diameter increased with increasing current pulse heights. Laser assisted CIMS could reduce the threshold current more than 40 % that of without a laser assisted.
We demonstrated the laser assisted current induced magnetization switching of the magnetic wire. The method can reduce the current and controlled CIMS by laser. The laser assist CIMS is one of the attractive methods to create the domains in the magnetic wire.

Laser assisted current induced magnetization switching in a TbCo/Pt hetero structure wire

Interfacial magnetic skyrmions are topological spin textures which have been proposed for use as information carriers in spintronic devices [1]. Hence, it is vital that their creation, annihilation, and motion can be accurately controlled [1]. Still, their thermal stability and interactions with lattice defects are not fully understood. Recently, many groups studied the skyrmion creation/annihilation energy paths by reconstructing associated free energy landscapes (FELs) and calculating the minimum energy paths, by combining micromagnetic simulations with an enhanced sampling technique called the nudged elastic band method (NEBM) [2]. However, micromagnetics and NEBM do not fully account for thermal effects. In addition, most computational models assume defect-free material interfaces with idealized magnetic parameters; while lattice defects alter the skyrmion dynamics and show potential to be used as pinning, destruction/creation points in future devices.

To address these, we use atomic scale magnetic simulations combined with an enhanced sampling technique named metadynamics to reconstruct non-trivial FELs of certain skyrmion degrees of freedom called as collective variables (CVs) in metadynamics. Metadynamics systematically adds a potential bias on the CVs to sample states outside of the thermodynamic equilibrium and explore the whole configurational space [3,4]. Traditionally, this has been used to understand how molecules bind to surfaces. Recently, metadynamics has been used in magnetism to study simple situations such as the temperature dependence of anisotropy CVs [5]. We use it to explore how spin textures interact with defects. Thus, we demonstrate that metadynamics can be extensively used in computational magnetism to study the behaviour of spin textures by selecting appropriate CVs. Mainly, we use metadynamics to study the thermal stability of skyrmions, via studying the annihilation/creation energy barriers as a function of temperature. Additionally, we investigate how various defects modify these FELs and their associated energy barriers. Ultimately, we explore if certain defects alter the skyrmion stability, trap/repel skyrmions, disturb their motion and prevent/help their creation/annihilation.

Metadynamics Calculations of Skyrmion Free Energy Landscapes

Currently, the commercialization of SOT-MRAM is hampered by high switching current density due to relatively low switching efficiency. One of the key parameters determines the switching efficiency is the spin hall angle (SHA, θSH). The maximum θSH of commonly used materials in foundries are: Ta (~-0.12), Pt (~0.1), and β-W (~-0.3) [1-3]. Even though there are promising SOT channel materials, like topological insulators (TI), showing high θSH > 1, the resistivity is several orders higher than above mentioned normal heavy metals (HM). Meanwhile, TI is hard for manufacturing as it consists of materials not friendly to be used in silicon-based fabs. Then, it is important to pursue high θSH for HM for the SOT-MRAM. The purpose of our study is to re-visit at the θSH of modified tungsten-based SOT channels. We demonstrated relatively high θSH up to -0.44 and low resistivity ~130 μΩcm in the nitrogen-doped W buffer (WN) /W interlayer/ferromagnetic hybrid system measured by spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR). The θSH of the sample with WN/W SOT channel was nearly twice as large as 5nm β-W and 5nm β-WN (Fig. 1). The magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJ) with three kinds of SOT channels were also fabricated in order to check the device performance. Fig. 2 shows the typical R-J curves of MTJ devices by DC measurements. The switching current density of MTJs with the 3WN/2W SOT channel is 16.6 MA/cm2, which is 36.4% and 26.2% smaller than 26.1 MA/cm2 and 22.5 MA/cm2 respectively in the devices with 3.5W and 3.5WN SOT channels. The Damping like torques ξDL = TintθSH estimated from the switching current density is 0.28 for the system with 3WN/2W SOT channel, which is close to 2 times of that for the sample with 3.5W. The results from MTJ devices are consistent with values obtained from ST-FMR. Our promising results give potential solutions to the low switching efficiency issue for the W-based SOT-MTJ devices.

Enhanced charge to

The spin Hall effect (SHE) and the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) have been widely utilized to interconvert the charge and spin current. In them, the charge current, spin current and spin polarization are orthogonal to each other [1]. Based on the general tensor requirement of the spin-charge conversion, additional possibilities can be introduced when the order parameter, the magnetization of a ferromagnet, is involved [2]. We herein report the spin-charge conversion in perpendicular magnetized Ti(3 nm)/Co(0.6 nm)/Pd(2 nm)/[Co(0.4 nm)/Pd(2 nm)]4 multilayers, simplified as Co/Pd multilayers, with the spin pumping measurements. We unambiguously observed the anomalous inverse spin Hall effect (AISHE) in Co/Pd multilayers, where the charge current is collinear with the spin polarization. And both the sign and magnitude of AISHE can be linearly regulated by the out-of-plane magnetization of Co/Pd multilayers. Further, the observed amplitude ratio of AISHE/ISHE in spin pumping measurements is independent of the applied microwave frequency, indicating that it is a material specific parameter.

Anomalous inverse spin Hall effect in perpendicular magnetized Co/Pd multilayers

Inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect (IREE) [1] refers to the spin-to-charge conversion at the interface/surface with strong spin-orbit coupling and broken symmetry. Ag/Bi related system is a prototype system for studying the IREE and has been hotly discussed but with a long-term controversy [2-5]. In a joint effort of both experiments and first-principles calculations, we reconcile almost all the published experimental data in literatures with controversial conclusions and provide a coherent picture on the pure spin transport between Ag/Bi and ferromagnets. We demonstrate a strong IREE at the interface between Ag/Bi with a ferromagnetic metal (FM) but not with a ferromagnetic insulator. This is in sharp contrast with the previously claimed IREE at Ag/Bi interface or inverse spin Hall effect dominated spin transport. In addition, a more than one order of magnitude modulation of IREE signal is realized for different Ag/Bi-FM interfaces, casting strong tunability and a new direction for searching efficient spintronics materials.

A coherent picture on the pure spin transport between Ag/Bi and ferromagnets

Spin pumping is one of the most common ways to generate the desired spin current in experiment. With much shorter timescales than in ferromagnets (FM), antiferromagnetic (AFM) spin dynamics can offer much more attractive properties for potential applications in ultrafast spintronics devices. In recent years, although the AFM sub-terahertz spin pumping has been sucessfully observed, there is still some debate over the existence of cross-sublattice spin pumping in AFM. Here, we start from the most general form of AFM spin pumping and phenomenologically derive its Onsager reciprocal effect--current induced torque. By symmetry analysis we argue that the off-diagonal elements of spin-mixing conductance in net magnetization m and Neel vector n basis must vanish for a collinear AFM. The anti-damping like torques and cross-sublattice torques are shown to be proportional to the symmetric and asymmetric parts of the diagonal spin-mixing conductance respectively. For a conclusive evidence, we explicitly derive a more general form of spin-mixing conductance by scattering matrix method. For a insulating compensated AFM interface, the asymmetric parts of the diagonal spin-mixing conductance vanishes, manifesting the absence of cross-sublattice torques and spin pumping in collinear AFM.

Absence of cross sublattice spin pumping and spin torques in collinear antiferromagnets: symmetry and microscopic theory

We numerically studied the spin transfer torque oscillation (STO) in a magnetic orthogonal configuration by introducing a strong biquadratic magnetic coupling [1]. The advantage of the orthogonal configuration is the high efficiency of spin transfer torque leading the high STO frequency, but it is difficult to maintain the STO in a wide range of electric current. By introducing a biquadratic magnetic coupling into the orthogonal structure, it became possible to expand the electric current region realizing the stable STO, resulting that a high STO frequency. In this report, we systematically compared STO properties between the orthogonal magnetization disks with and without the biquadratic magnetic coupling, that is, B12=0.0 and -0.6.
In our model, the orthogonal configuration is FePt 2 nm/spacer 2 nm/Co90Fe10, or Ni80Fe20, or Ni 2 nm. The time-domain magnetization precessions of the top layer Ni under current density J=0.5×107 A/cm2, 3.0×107 A/cm2, and 6.0×107 A/cm2 are shown in Fig.1 (a), (b) and (c). Only B12 was changed and A12 is set 0 for simplicity. In the case of the biquadratic magnetic coupling B12=0.0, the STO was observed only when J=0.5×107 A/cm2. Compared to this, in the case of B12=-0.6, the STO can be obtained in the wide range of J. This means that by introducing biquadratic magnetic coupling, we can expand the electric current region realizing the stable STO and increase the frequency. In Fig. 2, we show the STO frequency and the intensity as a function of the current density. First, even when the top layer is changed from Ni, to Ni80Fe20, or Co90Fe10, the current density region realizing the stable STO is widened by introducing the biquadratic magnetic coupling. In addition, we increased STO frequency and the intensity, meaning the stable STO.
