▲ [19p-D104-6] Magnetoresistance in a nonmagnet/antiferromagnet metallic heterostructure
Keywords:Antiferromagnet Spintronics, Spin-Hall Magnetoresistance, Spin-orbit interaction
Utilization of antiferromagnets (AFMs) as active components of spintronic devices offers several unique advantages which complement current ferromagnet (FM) based devices. The injection of current in nonmagnet (NM)/AFM heterostructures results in magnetoresistive effects owing to spin-orbit torques (SOTs). Experimental investigations concerning spin current injection and manifestations of SOTs are expected to provide key insights into pertinent questions concerning manipulation and detection of AFM moments. Here, we study current-induced magnetoresistive effects in a non-collinear AFM Pt/PtMn symmetric heterostructure.
