The realization of magnetization switching induced by in-plane current injection in heavy metal/ferromagnetic heterostructures has drawn increasing attention to spin-orbitronics, leading to the advent of spin-orbit torques magnetoresistive random access memories (SOT-MRAM). Compared to heavy metals, oxide 2D electron gases have emerged as alternative spin-orbitronics material systems, which benefit from an efficient spin-charge interconversion through the direct and inverse Edelstein effects. Recently, we have demonstrated an enhancement of the spin-to-charge conversion efficiency by two orders of magnitude in SrTiO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;-based 2D gas compared to conventional heavy metals [1], along with a non-volatile electric-control of the spin-to-charge conversion [2].

Spin-orbitronics exploits the interplay between charge and spin currents enabled by the spin-orbit coupling in non-magnetic systems. This spin-orbit coupling is indeed the phenomenon at the origin of spin-charge interconversions in bulk materials, via the spin Hall effect, and at surfaces presenting a broken inversion symmetry, via the Rashba-Edelstein effect. Recently, spin-to-charge conversion studies in Metal/SrTiO3-based two-dimensional (2D) electron gases have revealed a high conversion efficiency via the inverse Rashba-Edelstein effect [1]. The following demonstration of non-volatile electric-control of the spin-to-charge conversion further brings to light the great potential of these quantum materials for novels ultra-low power spintronics applications [2]. Achieving a metal barrier thickness study is thus desirable to gain insight on the different contributions to the charge-to-spin conversion in metal/SrTiO3-based 2D electron gases. Here, we report spin-orbit torques results obtained by spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR) in Metal/SrTiO3-based 2D electron gases, for different metal barrier thicknesses. A demonstration of charge-to-spin conversion at the metal/oxide interface is firstly achieved by ST-FMR on both Ta and Mg barrier-based heterostructures. The spin-orbit torques are further investigated for different temperatures, revealing temperature-dependent symmetric and antisymmetric ST-FMR signals. We further achieve the non-volatile electric-control of the sheet resistance of the 2D electron gas in ST-FMR devices, which makes it possible to investigate the gate dependence of the charge-to-spin conversion via ST-FMR techniques. Finally, the dependence of the charge-to-spin conversion with the metallic barrier thickness is discussed, providing routes to improve the spin-orbit torques, and opening the way to optimized spintronics devices based on Metal/SrTiO3 2D electron gases.

Spin-Orbit Torques Dependence on the Metal Barrier Thickness in Metal/SrTiO3-based Two-Dimensional Electron Gases Studied by Spin-Torque Ferromagnetic Resonance

The dynamics of magnetization generates a spin current, which is referred to as spin pumping [1]. The spin pumping has been intensively studied because it can be utilized in quantifying spin related parameters, such as spin Hall angle, spin diffusion length and spin mixing conductance [2, 3]. In ferromagnet (FM) / heavy metal (HM) layers, which has been a central focus of research during last decade [2-4], the magnetization dynamics of FM generates a spin current in the HM layer, and the spin current is converted into the tangible charge current via inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) [2-4]. However, the spin pumping efficiency is still low to be used directly for spintronic applications. Here we demonstrate a giant spin pumping induced by a phase transition of FeRh. FeRh is metallic alloy with CsCl structure which undergoes a phase transition from antiferromagnetic to ferromagnetic phase near 370 K [5]. We measured the transient ISHE voltage in FeRh/Pt bi-layer and found that the spin pumping signal appears during the phase transition of FeRh. Notably, the observed spin pumping signal is at least 2 orders of magnitude larger than those of previous reports [6, 7], suggesting that the spin pumping can be utilized in spintronic applications, e.g., magnetization switching [8]. The large transient spin pumping signal is ascribed to the total angular momentum change between antiferromagnet and ferromagnet during the phase transition, which accompanies the sign change of the exchange interaction. Our work provides a novel method to generate a large spin current, which could be utilized in spintronics application.

Direct Detection of Transient Spin Pumping during Phase Transition of FeRh

Magnetite (Fe3O4) is a unique half-metallic magnetic material for longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) investigations because of its characteristic Verwey transition (TV ≈ 125 K). Since Fe3O4 is metallic above TV, the measured LSSE signal is contaminated by the anomalous Nernst effect (ANE) arising from the Fe3O4 layer. Earlier study on the LSSE in Fe3O4/Pt [1] did not disentangle the LSSE and ANE signals as a function of temperature above and below TV. To address this, we have performed a comprehensive study of the temperature dependence of ANE and LSSE in Fe3O4 thin films (80 nm) grown on Si and Al2O3 substrates. We find that while both effects are present in Fe3O4/Pt at T &gt; TV, the ANE signal is much smaller compared to the intrinsic LSSE signal. Below TV, the total signal across Fe3O4/Pt is completely dominated by the LSSE. Through a comprehensive analysis of temperature dependent LSSE and ANE, we decouple their contributions that allow us, for the first time, to observe an anomalous temperature dependence of the intrinsic LSSE signal in Fe3O4/Pt around TV. A comparative study of the intrinsic LSSE in Si/Fe3O4/Pt and Al2O3/Fe3O4/Pt points to the important role of the ordering and density of spins on the Fe3O4 surface on the spin transport and spin-charge conversion efficiency [2,3]. The LSSE voltage measured at 300 K in Si/Fe3O4/Pt is about two times greater than that of Al2O3/Fe3O4/Pt. This finding is fully supported by the magnetic force microscopy study that reveals the higher density of magnetic domains on the surface of the Fe3O4 film grown on Si compared to the Fe3O4 film grown on Al2O3. Our study not only provides deeper insights into the LSSE and its temperature evolution in magnetic oxides like Fe3O4 but also an effective way for improving the spin-charge conversion efficiency in magnetic films through surface magnetism engineering.

Decoupling anomalous Nernst and longitudinal spin Seebeck effects in Fe3O4/Pt thin films around the Verwey transition

Spin-orbit torques (SOTs) provide an electrical way to manipulate the magnetization of magnetic films, which is promising for their application in magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) with high speed and long endurance [1,2]. SOT is usually observed in magnetic-heavy-metal bilayers and casued by the spin Hall effect (SHE) in the heavy metal and as-induced spin current. Restricted by the symmetry of the SHE, the spin current is normally polarized in plane, which can only determinstically switch a magnetic film with in-plane magnetic anisotropy (IMA). To switch a magnetic film with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), which is desired for high-density memory applications, an in-plane symmetry-breaking field is indispensable. The field can be provided directly by a sourcing current via the Ostered mechanism or from the exchange-bias or coupling effects [3]. Here, we demonstrate through both theory and experiments that an effective perpendicular field scaling with SOT can inherently result from a magnetic trilayer, which consists of a magnetic film with PMA, another magnetic film with IMA, and a spacer in between to mediate their coupling. More importantly, when the two magnetic films experience two SOTs with the same (opposite) polarity, the effective perpendicular field can favor (hamper) SOT switching of the perpendicular film. This special magentic trilayer can guide the design of efficient and versatile SOT MRAM devices. In our work, a macrospin model is employed to explain the generation of effective perpendicular field. And after a seris of experiments of SOT switching under different in-plane fields, the efficiency to produce the perpendicular field reaches 2.1 Oe/1010 Am-2[4].

Efficient Spin-Orbit-Torque Switching Assisted by an Effective Perpendicular Field in a Magnetic Trilayer

GdFeCo, a rare-earth/transition-metal composition, is a competitive candidate for practical applications on GMR devices [1,2], magneto-optical recording medium [3,4], and ultrafast magnetic switching [5,6]. Particularly, the ability to control magnetic coercivity (Hc) is one of the most important parameters for the advantage in magnetic data storage technologies. It is well known that the coercivity of the GdFeCo compound can be tuned by varying content of Gd or FeCo component [7]. Although these methods can effectively alter the magnetic properties of a sample, the changes are permanent, thus, one may expect a further increase in the flexible ability to manipulate Hc will be explored. Here, we reveal that the coercive field of GdFeCo adjacent to heavy metal Hf can be effectively modulated by electric current. The stack structure of Gd28.5(Fe80Co20)71.5 (7nm)/Hf(4nm)/MgO(4nm), as illustrated in Fig.1(a), is prepared by means of a RF magnetron co-sputtering, and then characterized by the X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy technique and the Alternating Gradient Magnetometer (AGM). A 5 μm-width and 100 μm-length Hall bar is fabricated using standard photolithography, E-beam lithography, and Ar ion-beam etching technique. We perform a measurement by injecting a DC current along the Hall channel in the presence of an external magnetic field which is swept perpendicularly to the sample plane, as illustrated in Fig.1(b). Interestingly, we observe that in the early stage of measurement, the Hc reduces drastically while at a higher current level coercivity is able to recover back to its initial value, as shown in Fig. 2. Such dependence of Hc on electric current can be explained by the competing interplay of the spin-orbit torque (SOT) that arises from heavy metal layer Hf and the Joule heating effects. This finding is a supplement for researchers and engineers who are working on spintronics materials

Manipulation of coercivity in GdFeCo/Hf heterostructures by an electrical current

The spin orbit torque is one of the most promising effects for inducing magnetization dynamics and switching in a thin ferromagnetic (FM) layer and is at the base of several advancements in the field of spintronic memory devices [1,2]. The effect is caused by the spin current electrically generated by the spin Hall effect in a adjacent heavy metal (HM) layer. The description of the spin orbit torque effects on the magnetization of FM requires the introduction of two torque components in the magnetization dynamic equation: the field-like (FL) and the damping-like (DL), both proportional to intensity of the spin Hall effect [3]. By projecting all the vectors into the plane perpendicular to the magnetization, one finds the DL in the direction of the projected spin current and the FL in the perpendicular direction. The harmonic Hall method permits a detailed characterization of the two components [4] and reveals that the FL is much smaller than the DL and that they both have a non obvious dependence upon the thicknesses of the layers. In the literature, the two torque terms are derived by the introduction of the spin mixing conductance of the interface, whose real and imaginary parts give rise to the two torque terms [3]. However the spin mixing conductance has a difficult physical interpretation and justification. We propose here an alternative approach which is based on the definition of the spin current at the interface of a ferromagnet. To derive the torque terms we allow for the presence of a spin current at the interface of a FM and therefore we extend the boundary conditions of micromagnetism, therefore replacing the classical Brown's boundary conditions. The analysis reveals that by using the continuity of the spin current at the interface between the FM and the HM, one is able to derive two torque components. As a result the ratio between the DL and the FL is proportional to the damping constant of the FM and depends on thicknesses of the two layers. In the present paper we will present the derivation and the properties of the DL and FL torque terms and we will compare the outcome with experimental results from the literature [5].

Spin currents at the interface and spin Hall torque

Spintronics devices based on spin-orbit torque (SOT) are promising for next generation information technology. Perpendicularly magnetized MnGa/Co2MnSi (CMS) bilayer [1], in which MnGa and CMS layers are antiferromagnetically coupled to each other, is attractive for a ferromagnetic layer of such devices because of the relatively large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of MnGa and the half metallicity of CMS. Moreover, previous our study showed that SOT was enhanced by using a MnGa/CMS bilayer structure compared with that in a MnGa single layer structure [2]. Further enhancement of SOT is expected at or near the magnetization-compensation point of MnGa/CMS bilayer because the efficiency of SOT generation is inversely proportional to the magnetization of the ferromagnetic layer. In this work, we systematically investigated SOT in MnGa/CMS/Ta structures with various CMS thicknesses (tCMS) including the compensation point. A wedged structure consisting of, from the substrate side, MgO (10)/NiAl (5)/MnGa (2.5)/CMS (tCMS = 0-1.7)/Ta (5)/MgO (2) was deposited on an MgO(001) substrate (numbers in parentheses are nominal thicknesses in nm ). The wedged structure was processed into Hall devices with a 5-µm wide channel to investigate the SOT. We measured the effective magnetic field Heff arising from the interaction between SOT and magnetization in domain walls (DWs) created during the magnetization reversal under current I and in-plane magnetic field Hx along current direction. The magnitude of Heff almost linearly increases with increasing |Hx| at low |Hx| and saturates at large |Hx|. The saturated Heff per I (µ0Heff*/I, µ0 is the permeability in vacuum) is shown as a function of tCMS in Figure. The value of µ0Heff*/I is increased near the compensation point and reaches about six times that in the device without CMS. These results indicate that magnetization compensation is useful for enhancing the efficiency of SOT generation.

Spin-orbit torque in structures with magnetization-compensated MnGa/Co2MnSi bilayer

Generation of spin-current and its transport across interfaces, as well as its interaction with magnetic moments, are the central themes of spintronic community to enable fast and efficient magnetization dynamics for data storage devices. There are two main mechanisms to produce the spin-current in non-magnetic materials: (a) spin Hall effect (SHE) in heavy metals such as Pt or Ta and (b) Rashba effect (RE) at the interfaces1. Irrespective of the origin, the spin-current exerts torques on adjacent ferromagnetic layer with two components: damping-like (DL) & field-like (FL)2. However, disentangling properly SHE from RE remains highly challenging. In this experimental study we identify the mechanisms of spin-transport in ultrathin magnetic multilayer whose thicknesses range from less to above the characteristic spin- decoherence length. To this aim, we quantify the different SOT contributions in series of samples Pt8|Cox|Al1.4|Pt3 and P8|Cox|Cu1.4|Pt3 (as a reference ) with x varying from 0.4 to 1.4 nm. We extract, in each case, a spin decoherence length to be around 1.1 nm. Surprisingly, SOT investigation in the Pt8|Cox|Al 1.4|Pt 3 reveals a dominating FL torque (HFL/HDL&gt;1), which is a signature of a strong Rashba interface in Al-based systems. As a comparison, we find that the Rashba interaction is small in Pt8|Cox|Cu1.4|Pt3 samples. Moreover, we determine the SOTs characteristics in Pt(x)/Co(0.9)/Al(5) by varying the Pt thickness (tPt). The bulk spin Hall angle of Pt(θSHE) and ratio of HFL and HDL as a function of tPt are shown in Figure 1(a) and (b). The increase in HFL/HDL in the range of Pt thickness where the bulk SHE of Pt started decreasing, strongly favors our argument of the presence of Rashba interface3, exhibiting thus the specific role of Al insertion layers to enhance spin-orbit effects.

Rashba Spin-Orbit Torque in Interface Engineered Ultrathin Metallic Multilayers

Ferromagnetic materials with high spin polarization are highly suitable materials for the spin transfer torque based magnetoresistive random access memories. In this regard, spin gapless semiconductor (SGS) materials such as quaternary Heusler Alloy CoFeMnSi (CFMS) are very promising candidates for the same because of their unique band structure [1]. However, all these exotic properties are susceptible to the microstructure of the grown film. Therefore, optimized growth of a SGS material is a prerequisite for its practical realization in spintronic-based devices. Here, in this study we have tailored the structural ordering in CFMS thin films (~60 nm) grown at different substrate temperatures (TS) from 150oC to 550oC range over Si(100) substrates using pulsed DC magnetron sputtering. All the grown films were polycrystalline in nature with an enhancement in structural ordering with Tc. Among all the film samples, the film grown at 550oC showed the optimal structure with L21 ordering. The magnetic measurements revealed that saturation magnetization (Ms) of the sample decreased with the measurement temperature with a value ~3.42 μB/f.u. at 5K to 3.11 μB/f.u. at 300 K. The Curie temperature (TC) of the sample was found to be 778±13K. The longitudinal resistivity measurement clearly exhibited a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity, indicating the semiconducting behavior of these CFMS films. The carrier concentration (n) and mobility (μ) were found to be nearly temperature-independent, revealing typical SGS characteristics. The room temperature n and μ values were found to be 3.9 ± 0.04 cm-3 and 88.83 ± 1.58 cm2/V.s, respectively. The temperature-dependent anomalous Hall effect measurements have also been carried out to identify the dominant scattering mechanisms occurring in these films. This measurement suggests the dominance of phonon-induced scattering over impurity-induced scattering.

Investigation of Spin Gapless Semiconducting Behaviour in Quaternary CoFeMnSi Heusler Alloy Thin Films on Si (100)

Magnetic random access memories (MRAMs) driven by current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) become a promising candidate of next generation nonvolatile memory due to the high reliability, ultrafast writing speed, and good compatibility with COMS circuits[1] Pursuing the efficient manipulation of SOT in SOT-MRAM, recent research has focused on sorts of materials with large spin hall angle, like Platinum, β-tungsten, and topological insulators, or on SOT-channels with the special structure like ultrathin insertion layer of Hf or Co in Pt[2-4]. Here we demonstrate a type of SOT channel with large spin hall angle (θSH) up to 0.62 and relatively low resistivity of about ~200μΩ*cm by oxygen and nitrogen periodically doped in tungsten. As shown in Fig.1(a), our sample stacks from bottom to top are Si/SiO sub./X(t)/CoFeB(1.9)/MgO(1.5)/Ta(1.5)(units in nm). The X layer refers the different SOT channels which include tungsten, oxygen doped tungsten(WO), nitrogen doped tungsten(WN), and oxygen and nitrogen periodically doped in tungsten(WO/WN). The resistivity shows that we obtain a larger β-phase window with oxygen or nitrogen or both two elements incorporation in Fig.1(b), which can provide a more stable deposition condition of β-tungsten. The spin hall angle measurement was carried out by spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR). The voltage spectra Vmix measured by ST-FMR at frequency f = 5 ~ 10 GHz in (WO/WN) sample is displayed in Fig. 2(a). Fig. 2(b) shows the fitting of the measured curve at 7GHz by the Lorentzian function. By analyzing the Vmix spectra, we figure out that the damping constant is about 0.01(Fig. 2(c)). While the spin hall angle attains approximately 0.62 which implies its high efficiency to exert spin-orbit torques and a decline of writing current density in SOT-MRAM.
