Interface-engineered voltage-driven magnetic tunnel junctions with ultra-low-energy magnetization switching

Yu Zhang, Meng Xu, Bowei Zhou +9

Electric-field control of spin states offers a promising route to ultra-low-power, ultra-fast magnetization switching in spintronic devices such as magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs)…

Minimal quantum thermal machine in a bandgap environment: non-Markovian features and anti-Zeno advantage

Meng Xu, J. T. Stockburger, G. Kurizki +1

A minimal model of a quantum thermal machine is analyzed, where a driven two level working medium (WM) is embedded in an environment (reservoir) whose spectrum possesses bandgaps.…

Voltage-controlled antiferromagnetism in magnetic tunnel junctions

Meng Xu, Mingen Li, Pravin Khanal +11

We demonstrate a voltage-controlled exchange bias effect in CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunnel junctions that is related to the interfacial Fe(Co)Ox formed between the CoFeB electrode…

Spin-orbit torque switching of synthetic antiferromagnets

Chong Bi, Hamid Almasi, Kyle Price +5

We report that synthetic antiferromagnets (SAFs) can be efficiently switched by spin-orbit torques (SOTs) and the switching scheme does not obey the usual SOT switching rule. We sh…
