متن کاملRoom-Temperature Spin-Orbit Torque Switching Induced by a Topological Insulator.
The strongly spin-momentum coupled electronic states in topological insulators (TI) have been extensively pursued to realize efficient magnetic switching. However, previous studies show a large discrepancy of the charge-spin conversion efficiency. Moreover, current-induced magnetic switching with TI can only be observed at cryogenic temperatures. We report spin-orbit torque switching in a TI-fe...
متن کاملInverse quantum spin Hall effect generated by spin pumping from precessing magnetization into a graphene-based two-dimensional topological insulator
We present a multiterminal nanostructure for electrical probing of the quantum spin Hall effect QSHE in two-dimensional 2D topological insulators TIs . The device consists of a ferromagnetic FM island with precessing magnetization that pumps in the absence of any bias voltage pure spin current symmetrically into the left and right adjacent 2D TIs modeled as graphene nanoribbons with the intrins...
متن کاملSpin-wave excitation in magnetic insulators by spin-transfer torque.
We study the excitation of spin waves in magnetic insulators by the current-induced spin-transfer torque. We predict preferential excitation of surface spin waves induced by an easy-axis surface anisotropy with critical current inversely proportional to the penetration depth and surface anisotropy. The surface modes strongly reduce the critical current and enhance the excitation power of the cu...
متن کاملEnhancement in spin-torque efficiency by nonuniform spin current generated within a tapered nanopillar spin valve
We examine the effect that a spatially nonuniform spin current with a component polarized partially out of the plane has on a low saturation magnetization nanomagnet free layer. Micromagnetic simulations indicate that the spin-torque efficiency acting upon the reversing nanomagnet can be enhanced through this process, resulting in faster switching with smaller currents. In doing so, we determin...
