Chiral spin torque arising from proximity-induced magnetization

Magnetization Dynamics Symmetry in Spin Torque Induced Magnetization Switching

Magnetization dynamics symmetry plays important roles in magnetization switching. Here we study magnetic field and spin torque induced magnetization switching. Spin moment transferring from polarized itinerant electrons to local magnetization provides a magnetization switching mechanism without using external magnetic field. Besides its importance in fundamental magnetization switching dynamics...

Thermally assisted spin-transfer torque magnetization reversal in uniaxial nanomagnets

We simulate the stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert dynamics of a uniaxial nanomagnet out to sub-millisecond timescales using a graphical processing unit based micromagnetic code and determine the effect of geometrical tilts between the spin-current and uniaxial anisotropy axes on the thermally assisted reversal dynamics. The asymptotic behavior of the switching time (I ! 0; hsi / expð"nð1 " IÞÞ...

Current-induced magnetization switching using an electrically insulating spin-torque generator

Current-induced magnetization switching through spin-orbit torques is the fundamental building block of spin-orbitronics, which promises high-performance, low-power memory and logic devices. The spin-orbit torques generally arise from spin-orbit coupling of heavy metals. However, even in a heterostructure where a metallic magnet is sandwiched by two different insulators, a nonzero spin-orbit to...
