Giant Orbital Torque-driven Picosecond Switching in Magnetic Tunnel Junctions

Yuxuan Yao, Chen Xiao, Xiaobai Ning +18

Orbital Hall effect was recently discovered as a novel pathway for driving magnetic moment. However, the integration of orbital Hall effect in magnetic memories suffers from low or…

All-optical helicity-independent switching state diagram in GdFeCo alloys

Jiaqi Wei, Boyu Zhang, Michel Hehn +5

Ultra-fast magnetization switching induced by a single femtosecond laser pulse, under no applied magnetic field has attracted a lot of attention during the last 10 years because of…

Domain-wall motion induced by spin transfer torque delivered by helicity-dependent femtosecond laser

Boyu Zhang, Yong Xu, Weisheng Zhao +8

In magnetic wires with perpendicular anisotropy, moving domain with only current or only circularly polarized light requires a high power. Here, we propose to reduce it by using bo…

Energy-efficient domain wall motion governed by the interplay of helicity-dependent optical effect and spin-orbit torque

Boyu Zhang, Yong Xu, Weisheng Zhao +6

Spin-orbit torque provides a powerful means of manipulating domain walls along magnetic wires. However, the current density required for domain wall motion is still too high to rea…

Influence of heavy metal materials on magnetic properties of Pt/Co/heavy metal tri-layered structures

Boyu Zhang, Anni Cao, Junfeng Qiao +11

Pt/Co/heavy metal (HM) tri-layered structures with interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) are currently under intensive research for several emerging spintronic effect…
