▼ [14p-A501-3] Observation of spin orbit torque magnetization switching without external magnetic field in wire fabricated by magnetic field applied sputtering method
キーワード:Current-induced magnetization switching, Spin orbit torque
The spin orbit torque (SOT) has the higher potential for manipulating magnetization because it realizes the small power consumption due to the faster magnetization switching. To switch magnetization by SOT, an external in-plane magnetic field must be applied, which is disadvantage for the high density MRAM. Whereas, the SOT-current induced magnetization switching (CIMS) without external field with in-plane exchange bias field have been reported. However, to obtain the exchange bias field, we have to anneal the wire in high temperature. It often leads to weaken magnetic anisotropy. In this study, to generate exchange bias field in room temperature, we used magnetic field applied sputtering process and as a result successfully observed SOT-CIMS without external field.
