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.

Abstract We present analysis of the effect of Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya interaction (DMI) on spin wave nonreciprocity and bubble expansion asymmetry in Pt/Co/Ir/Co/Pt synthetic ferrimagnets with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. We propose analysis of the DMI by Brillouin Light Scattering technique (BLS) and Kerr microscopy (MOKE) in the presence of interlayer exchange coupling strongly changing spin wave dispersion law and field dependences of domain wall velocity in comparison with those observed earlier in Ir/Co/Pt structures with a single Co layer. We have determined DMI values of each Co layer from unusually inverted dependence of velocity of the domain wall on in-plane magnetic field. Opposite signs of effective fields and DMI fields in the two Co layers invert field dependence of the domain wall velocity. DMI energy determined from BLS is higher than values, determined by bubble expansion.
