Enabling high giant magnetoresistance in simple spin valves with ultrathin seed and free layers
Sachli Abdizadeh, Rachel E. Maizel, Dylan L. Haymore +3
Emerging spin-orbit-torque devices based on spin valves require a thin magnetic free layer to maximize the torque per moment. However, reducing the free-layer thickness to $\lesssi…

Vertically Graded Fe-Ni Alloys with Low Damping and a Sizeable Spin-Orbit Torque
Rachel E. Maizel, Shuang Wu, Purnima P. Balakrishnan +13
Energy-efficient spintronic devices require a large spin-orbit torque (SOT) and low damping to excite magnetic precession. In conventional devices with heavy-metal/ferromagnet bila…
