被引用回数：1 パーセンタイル：54.89(Physics, Applied)We report current-induced magnetization switching in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pt multilayers with different Ir layer thicknesses (
), where the perpendicularly magnetized Co layers are coupled ferromagnetically or antiferromagnetically through an interlayer exchange coupling and are sandwiched by the Pt spin Hall layers. The domain structures formed during switching vary depending on the magnetization alignment, i.e., ferromagnetically coupled or antiferromagnetically coupled configuration. These results clarify the macroscopic picture of switching process for interlayer exchange-coupled systems. The local picture of the switching process is also examined by a numerical calculation based on a macrospin model, which reveals the switching dynamics triggered by dual spin-orbit torque for both antiferromagnetically and ferromagnetically coupled cases. The numerical calculation shows that the dual spin-orbit torque from the two Pt layers effectively acts on the two Co layers not only for the antiferromagnetically coupled case but also for the ferromagnetically coupled one. Our findings deepen the under- standing of the switching mechanism in a magnetic multilayer and provide an avenue to design spintronic devices with more efficient spin-orbit torque switching.

) antiferromagnetic domains in NiO/Pt by performing concurrent transport and magneto-optical imaging measurements in an adapted Kerr microscope. By correlating the magnetic images of the antiferromagnetic domain changes and magneto-transport signal response in these current-induced switching experiments, we disentangle magnetic and non-magnetic contributions to the transport signal. Our table-top approach establishes a robust procedure to subtract the non-magnetic contributions in the transport signal and extract the spin-Hall magnetoresistance response associated with the switching of the antiferromagnetic domains, enabling one to deduce details of the antiferromagnetic switching from simple transport measurements.

被引用回数：118 パーセンタイル：98.44(Physics, Multidisciplinary)We probe the current-induced magnetic switching of insulating antiferromagnet-heavy-metal systems, by electrical spin Hall magnetoresistance measurements and direct imaging, identifying a reversal occurring by domain wall (DW) motion. We observe switching of more than one-third of the antiferromagnetic domains by the application of current pulses. Our data reveal two different magnetic switching mechanisms leading together to an efficient switching, namely, the spin-current induced effective magnetic anisotropy variation and the action of the spin torque on the DWs.

重金属・強磁性体ヘテロ構造に生じるスピン軌道トルク(SOT)は、磁化の電流操作手法における基幹技術のひとつである。一方で、従来型SOTには面直方向の対称性の破れに起因する不動点(invariant point)が存在し、垂直磁化膜の磁化反転プロセスにおいて終状態を制御できない問題(nondeterministic switching)が指摘されてきた。このような幾何学的制約に対し、近年、WTe
や
-CuPt/CoPtといった低対称性界面を使用した、新規SOT制御手法が注目されている。本研究では、C3v点群対称性を示すトポロジカル絶縁体BiTe
薄膜界面に対し、楔形構造化等に起因するC1点群への対称性低下(symmetry reduction)を実現することで、強い異方性を示すSOTの生成に成功した。このような対称性を低下させる摂動下では、従来の直交方向への偏極成分(y-DL)に加え、面直成分(z-DL, z-FL)と平行成分(x-DL)へのSOT生成が新たに導出された。この異方的SOTを採用し、磁気共鳴状態における特異な非相反性と、電流誘起磁化反転における極性依存性が実験的にも観測された。
