SPIN ORBIT AND SPIN TRANSFER TORQUE-BASED SPINTRONICS DEVICES

摘要

A spin orbit torque-based spintronics device that includes a ferromagnet layer having a first surface and a second surface opposed to each other, a metal layer and a spacer layer covering the first surface and the second surface of the ferromagnet layer, respectively, and an dielectric layer covering either the metal layer or the spacer layer. Also disclosed are two related spin orbit torque-based spintronics devices and methods of using these three spintronics devices.

1. A spintronics device comprising:
a ferromagnet layer, 0.1 to 1000 nm in thickness, having a first surface and a second surface opposed to each other; a metal layer covering the first surface of the ferromagnet layer; a spacer layer covering the second surface of the ferromagnet layer; and a dielectric layer covering either the metal layer or the spacer layer,wherein the magnetization direction of the ferromagnet layer is switchable.
