AbstractThe formation of magnetic domains in thin epitaxial Co/Au(111) films is investigated by spin-polarized scanning electron microscopy. Three-monolayer films are shown to decay into out-of-plane domains of micrometer size. The transition from out-of-plane to in-plane magnetization at a crossover thickness of 4.5 layers is followed by imaging the domains, and the transition is shown to occur as a continuous rotation of the magnetization. The domain size in field-free-grown perpendicular films depends linearly on film thickness. From high-resolution line scans across magnetization reversals we determine the resolution in magnetic imaging to be better than 40 nm.

ABSTRACTWe report on a preferred phase shift ΔΦ0 between a spin torque oscillator (STO) and an ac current (Iac) injected at the intrinsic frequency (fSTO) of the STO. In the in-plane precession mode (IP) the STO adjusts to a state where its resistance (or voltage) lags Iac about a quarter of a wave length (ΔΦ0 = 87°−94°). In the IP mode ΔΦ0 increases somewhat with the dc current. As the precession changes into the Out-Of-Plane (OOP) mode, ΔΦ0 jumps by about 180°, i.e. the STO resistance now precedes Iac by about a quarter of a wave length (|ΔΦ0| = 86°). At the IP/OOP boundary, the ac current mixes the two oscillation modes and both periodic and chaotic oscillations are observed. As a consequence of mixing, subharmonic terms appear in the STO signal. ΔΦ0 can furthermore be tuned by changing one or more of the anisotropy field, the demagnetizing field or the applied field. At the IP/OOP boundary, Iac mixes the two oscillation modes. The intrinsic ΔΦ0 will impact any circuit design based on STO technology and will e.g. have direct consequences for phase locking in networks of serially connected STOs.

The quasi-periodic magnetic domains in metallic Fe-silicide nanowires self-assembled on the Si(110)-16 × 2 surface have been observed at room temperature by direct imaging of both the topographic and magnetic structures using spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. The spin-polarized differential conductance (dI/dV) map of the rectangular-sectional Fe-silicide nanowire with a width and height larger than 36 and 4 nm, respectively, clearly shows an array of almost parallel streak domains that alternate an enhanced (reduced) density of states over in-plane (out-of-plane) magnetized domains with a magnetic period of 5.0 ± 1.0 nm. This heterostructure of magnetic Fe-silicide nanowires epitaxially integrated with the Si(110)-16 × 2 surface will have a significant impact on the development of Si-based spintronic nanodevices.

AbstractWe have investigated an InAs channel Hall-bar structure with ferromagnetic spin injector in one of the current terminals. After magnetizing the Fe electrode, spin polarized electrons are injected through the edge of the isolation mesa structure and the anomalous Hall voltage is observed, when electrons are injected from the ferromagnetic terminal. However, when electrons are injected from the non-magnetic metal (Ti/Au) of opposite terminal, the Hall voltage disappeared to the variation error level due to the fabrication imperfections. This result suggests the possibility that out-of-plane spin injection from the channel edge lead to perpendicular nuclear magnetic field. It is presumably caused by nuclear spin polarization in InAs channel near the spin source edge through Overhauser effect. The estimated internal magnetic field was 2000 Gauss.

AbstractWe numerically investigate the ultrafast nucleation of antiferromagnetic (AFM) skyrmion using in-plane spin-polarized current and present its key advantages over out-of-plane spin-polarized current. We show that the threshold current density required for the creation of AFM skyrmion is almost an order of magnitude lower for the in-plane spin-polarized current. The nucleation time for the AFM skyrmion is found to be $$12-7$$ 12 - 7  ps for the corresponding current density of 1–$$3\times 10^{13}~\text{A/m}^{2}$$ 3 × 10 13 A/m 2 . We also demonstrate ultrafast nucleation of multiple AFM skyrmions that is possible only with in-plane spin polarized current and discuss how the current pulse width can be used to control the number of AFM skyrmions. The results show more than one order of magnitude improvement in energy consumption for ultrafast nucleation of AFM skyrmions using in-plane spin-polarized current, which is promising for applications such as logic gates, racetrack memory, and neuromorphic computing.
