▼ [19p-D104-3] Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in an antiferromagnet/ferromagnet heterostructure
キーワード:Antiferromagnet Spintronics, Spin-Orbit Interaction, Domain wall motion
Antiferromagnet (AFM)/ferromagnet (FM) heterostructures with spin-orbit interaction are perceived to open new opportunities for digital and analogue spintronic applications. In addition to spin-orbit torques generated by an in-plane current, the asymmetry of the stack structure with the spin-orbit interaction results in an interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). A quantitative evaluation of DMI is crucial for understanding of magnetization reversal in these heterostructures. Here, we study AFM PtMn thickness (tPtMn) dependence of DMI in a PtMn/[Co/Ni] system using two methods, a SOT driven DW motion and a bubble expansion technique, and compare the results to a reference Pt/[Co/Ni] system.
