Spin-orbit torques (SOT) allow the electrical control of magnetic states. Current-induced SOT switching of the perpendicular magnetization is of particular technological importance. The SOT consists of damping-like and field-like torques so…
We demonstrate ultra-fast (down to 400 ps) bipolar magnetization switching of a three-terminal perpendicular Ta/FeCoB/MgO/FeCoB magnetic tunnel junction. The critical current density rises significantly as the current pulse shortens below…
The discovery of current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) orthogonal reorientation, also known as orthogonal switching, of metallic Mn$_2$Au and CuMnAs has opened the door for ultrafast writing of an antiferromagnet (AFM). Phenomenological…
Realizing deterministic current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) magnetization switching, especially in systems exhibiting perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), typically requires the application of a collinear in-plane field, posing a…
Electric field induced spin-orbit torques are the crucial mechanism for electric regulations of antiferromagnetic order. However, the spin-orbit torques in antiferromagnets and the induced spin dynamics remain largely unexplored. In this…
The 5d transition-metal oxides have been an intriguing platform to demonstrate efficient charge to spin current conversion due to a unique electronic structure dominated by strong spin-orbit coupling. Here, we report on stacking-order…
The concept of perpendicular shape anisotropy spin-transfer torque magnetic random-access memory (PSA-STT-MRAM) consists in increasing the storage layer thickness to values comparable to the cell diameter, to induce a perpendicular shape…

Spin-orbit torques, which utilize spin currents arising from the spin-orbit coupling, offer a novel method to electrically switch the magnetization with perpendicular anisotropy. However, the necessity of an external magnetic field to…
The scaling of magnetic memory into nanometer size calls for a theoretical model to accurately predict the switching current. Previous models show large discrepancy with experiments in studying the spin-orbit torque switching of…
Application of sufficient lateral current to a heavy metal (HM) can switch the perpendicular magnetization orientation of adjacent ferromagnetic layer (FM) through spin-orbit torques (SOTs). The choice of the HM and its arrangement plays a…

Using a pure electric current to control kagome noncollinear antiferromagnets is promising in information storage and processing, but a full description is still lacking, in particular, on intrinsic (i.e., no external magnetic fields or…
Current induced spin-orbit torques driven by the conventional spin Hall effect are widely used to manipulate the magnetization. This approach, however, is nondeterministic and inefficient for the switching of magnets with perpendicular…

It is shown that magnetic states and field-driven reorientation transitions in synthetic antiferromagnets crucially depend on contributions of higher-order anisotropies. A phenomenological macrospin model is derived to describe the magnetic…
Spin pumping converting sub-terahertz electromagnetic waves to DC spin currents has recently been demonstrated in antiferromagnets (AFMs) with easy-axis magnetic anisotropy. However, easy-plane AFMs such as NiO, which are easier to prepare…
