Hybrid Switching

AbstractRecently, magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) with shape perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (S-PMA) have been studied extensively because they ensure high thermal stability at junctions smaller than 20 nm. Furthermore, spin-transfer torque (STT) and spin-orbit torque (SOT) hybrid switching, which guarantees fast magnetization switching and deterministic switching, has recently been achieved in experiments. In this study, the critical switching current density of the MTJ with S-PMA through the interplay of STT and SOT was investigated using theoretical and numerical methods. As the current density inducing SOT ($$J_{\text {SOT}}$$ J SOT ) increases, the critical switching current density inducing STT ($$J_{\text {STT,c}}$$ J STT,c ) decreases. Furthermore, for a given $$J_{\text {SOT}}$$ J SOT , $$J_{\text {STT,c}}$$ J STT,c increases with increasing thickness, whereas $$J_{\text {STT,c}}$$ J STT,c decreases as the diameter increases. Moreover, $$J_{\text {STT,c}}$$ J STT,c in the plane of thickness and spin-orbit field-like torque ($$\beta$$ β ) was investigated for a fixed $$J_{\text {SOT}}$$ J SOT and diameter. Although $$J_{\text {STT,c}}$$ J STT,c decreases with increasing $$\beta$$ β , $$J_{\text {STT,c}}$$ J STT,c slowly increases with increasing thickness and increasing $$\beta$$ β . The power consumption was investigated as a function of thickness and diameter at the critical switching current density. Experimental confirmation of these results using existing experimental techniques is anticipated.

We investigate theoretically the spin current and spin current induced electric field in a weak Rashba spin-orbit coupling quantum wire (QW) using a definition for spin current by means of scattering matrix. It is found that there exists two non-zero linear spin current density elements which have oscillation peaks at the center of QW and their strengths can be changed by the number of propagation modes and Rashba constant, respectively. Moreover, the spin current induced electric field has also been calculated and its strength is measurable with present technology with which can be used to detect spin current.
