The emergence of a large helical orbital texture due to the formation of the surface states at the metallic Co/Al interfaces originating from the orbital Edelstein effect and giving rise to a nonequilibrium orbital accumulation is revealed to produce large current-induced torques, providing an essential theoretical background for the experimental observations. Spin-orbit coupling is found […]

By performing transport simulations on carefully derived Wannier tight-binding models, Janus chromium-based transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers are found to exhibit a spin-orbit torque (SOT) performance comparable to the most efficient two-dimensional materials, while additionally allowing for field-free perpendicular magnetization switching, due to their reduced in-plane symmetry.   The spin–orbit torque (SOT) mechanism represents an innovative […]

We propose the concept of a core-shell composite structure coupled antiparallel via dipolar interaction, as the storage layer in perpendicular-shape-anisotropy magnetic random access memory (PSA MRAM). Benefits compared with a standard PSA MRAM include a reduced write time and the stray field. CoFeB core with a Co shell (height 8 nm; diameters 14 and 20 […]

Magnetic skyrmions are magnetic nanobubbles which are envisioned as bits of informations in our computers. A team from the Spintec laboratory in Grenoble has demonstrated that they can be moved by electric current at record speeds, up to 900 m/s, in antiferromagnetic stacks. These results hold promise for the use of skyrmions to store and […]
