Description

Magnetization turning device based on track transfer torque and implementation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of spin electronics of condensed state physics, in particular to a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization switching device without the assistance of an external magnetic field and an implementation method thereof.
Background
Spintronics (spintronics) utilizes the freedom of the spin and magnetic moment of electrons to enable the solid-state device to be added with the spin and magnetic moment transport of electrons in addition to charge transport. Spintronics is an emerging subject and technology, and has application potential in the aspects of hard disk magnetic heads, magnetic random access memories, spin field emission transistors, spin light emitting diodes and the like. In the field of spintronics, one important finding is the Giant Magnetoresistance effect (Giant magnoresistance). The giant magnetoresistance effect refers to the phenomenon that the resistivity of a magnetic material has great change under the action of an external magnetic field. It is usually produced in a layered magnetic thin film structure. The structure, namely a magnetic tunneling junction, specifically comprises two ferromagnetic layers, which are separated by an insulator film. When the magnetization directions of the two ferromagnetic layers are the same, the carrier receives the minimum scattering related to spin, and the tunneling resistance of the system is in a low resistance state; when the magnetization directions of the two are opposite, the carrier is subjected to the largest spin-dependent scattering, and the tunneling resistance is in a high resistance state. The giant magnetoresistance effect has been successfully applied to hard disk magnetic heads, and has significant commercial value. The giant magnetoresistance effect has only used less than 10 years from physical findings (20% of the room temperature tunneling magnetoresistance effect was found in 1995) to material fabrication and mass production (> 270 Gbit/inch 2) of magnetic read head devices based on the giant magnetoresistance effect in 2005. From 1997 to date, magnetic read head products and their hard disks based on the above giant magnetoresistance effect have been widely used in network servers and desktop computers, laptop computers, digital cameras, and music players such as MP3, MP4, etc., significantly contributing to the progress of computer and information technology. Because of this, the nobel prize in 2007 awarded the discoverers of the giant magnetoresistance effect, Albert Fert and Peter Grunberg, to highlight their contributions to the scientific development of contemporary condensed-state physical and information materials.
However, to achieve the giant magnetoresistance effect, it is necessary to change the magnetization state of the free ferromagnetic layer in the magnetic thin film structure. In the past, people realize the change of the magnetization state by an external magnetic field, but the external magnetic field usually means larger power consumption, and simultaneously increases the complexity of the device, and limits the application range of the device. In 1996, Slonczewski and Berger theoretically and independently proposed a new spin-dependent effect, i.e., a current-induced magnetization switching effect, in which the magnetization direction of a ferromagnetic layer is changed, or even switched, not by an applied magnetic field, but by injecting a spin-polarized current. The technique of realizing magnetization switching by using the current effect is very important for the practical application of the giant magnetoresistance effect. Therefore, the switching of magnetization by using the current effect becomes an important issue in the field of spintronics, and the technology has important application value in the aspects of read-write magnetic heads, magnetic memory units, spin logic devices and the like.
At present, in the field of spintronics, three main current modes are used for realizing magnetization reversal by using current.
1. In the early application of giant magnetoresistance effect, the magnetization of the free ferromagnetic layer is switched by using a magnetic field generated by current, but the mode has the defects of high power consumption, difficult application in a nanoscale device, complex circuit design and the like.
2. Spin-transfer torque (STT), a new technique, achieves magnetization switching by a spin-polarized current rather than an oersted field generated by a current, as compared to switching magnetization by a magnetic field. When a current flows through the magnetic layer, the current will be polarized, forming a spin-polarized current. And current is introduced into the magnetic tunneling junction, and the spin momentum is transferred to the magnetic moment of the free layer by electrons, so that the direction of the magnetic moment of the free ferromagnetic layer is changed after the spin momentum is obtained, and the magnetization is switched. One important application scenario for implementing magnetization switching using the current effect is the read/write head. When the spin transfer torque technology is used, because current needs to be introduced into the tunneling junction when information is written and read, the read-write path is not separated, and the write current is larger, so that the insulation layer has the defects of serious joule heat accumulation, poor durability and the like.
3. Scientists further propose that spin-orbit torque (SOT) is realized by using spin-orbit coupling effect of materials to perform magnetization reversal, so as to successfully realize separation of read and write paths, and spin-orbit torque is a storage technology with higher speed, higher density and higher efficiency compared with spin-orbit torque. The Spin-Orbit torque refers to a Spin-Orbit Coupling (SOC) based on a material, and a Spin transfer torque is generated by using a Spin current induced by a charge flow, thereby achieving the purpose of regulating and controlling a magnetic memory cell. In general materials, electrons are spin degenerate; when spin-orbit coupling exists, the electrons are subjected to an equivalent magnetic field generated by the spin-orbit coupling during the motion process. Electrons with different spin directions are subjected to different equivalent magnetic field directions to generate shunt currents. When current flows, part of the current is converted into transverse net spin current, and the spin current spin polarization direction, the current direction and the spin current direction are 90 degrees. The flowing charge current generates a spin current perpendicular to the charge flow direction, i.e., the spin hall effect, thereby generating a spin-orbit torque. When the current is reversed, the spin polarization is also reversed, causing the spin-orbit moment to be reversed, resulting in an opposite effect on the magnetic moment of the free ferromagnetic layer. In some two-dimensional systems with broken symmetry (especially in the two-dimensional interface system of heterojunction, the environment around the electrons in the interface is different), the electrons do not have spin degeneracy, the equivalent Hamilton quantity of the system has an additional term related to spin-orbit coupling, and similar to the spin Hall effect, the conversion of current and spin current is also involved, so-called Rashba-Edelstein effect, and the spin-orbit moment is also generated by the effect.
In 2009, the spin-orbit torque effect was first observed in semiconductor (Ga, Mn) As and the torque was found to come from dreselhaus spin-orbit coupling effects characteristic of the sphalerite crystal structure. One year later, it was reported that the spin orbit moment caused by the interfacial Rashba effect was detected in Pt/Co/AlOx. Some heavy metals, such as Pt, have strong spin-orbit coupling by themselves, and can create a spin hall effect and thus also have a spin-orbit torque effect. In addition, the spin orbit torque is also found on the surface of the topological insulator, and the spin orbit coupling effect mainly comes from the characteristic non-energy gap dirac surface state of the topological insulator.
At present, the concept of spin orbit torque has shown great promise in the fields of magnetic memory, arithmetic, memory devices, and the like. In addition, the spin orbit torque has great application value in microwave oscillators and spin logic devices with low energy consumption. The spin orbit torque provides a new way for realizing the microwave oscillating circuit. Since the transmission frequency can be controlled by current, a spin-orbit-torque-based microwave oscillator generally has an ultra-wide frequency range. Therefore, spin orbit torque has great application potential in the fields of wireless communication and induction devices, such as space communication, high-speed radio frequency broadcasting, vehicle radar application, health safety field and the like.
Spin-orbit torque has many advantages, but its practical application still has many challenges. The most critical scientific problem is that the spin orbit torque and the perpendicular magnetic field are respectivelyIncompatibility of the switching of the anisotropy magnetization. The in-plane magnetic anisotropy material is difficult to further reduce to a nanometer scale, and is not beneficial to high-density device integration, and the magnetization reversal of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has the advantages of fast reversal and high integration, so the magnetization reversal of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is the mainstream choice for future application. At present, most researches on spin orbit torque related principles utilize anti-damping torque in a current generation plane to realize deterministic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization reversal, and at the moment, an external magnetic field parallel to the current is additionally applied to break the symmetry of a system or introduce the asymmetry of a structure to assist in reversal to realize the deterministic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization reversal. For this mechanism, the critical anti-damping torque needs to be satisfied

Here, the
Figure 384594DEST_PATH_IMAGE002
Namely the reverse damping moment in the critical plane,
Figure 667808DEST_PATH_IMAGE003
the ratio of the magnetic flux to the magnetic flux is,
Figure 693533DEST_PATH_IMAGE004
is the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy field. The mechanism is the mainstream research direction of the current spin orbit torque, no matter the spin Hall effect of heavy metal, the Rashba-Edelstein effect of an interface or the surface state of a topological insulator, the magnetization reversal of the deterministic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is realized through the in-plane anti-damping torque, and therefore, an external magnetic field or a complex structural design is needed to assist in the realization of the reversal.
In addition to utilizing the in-plane anti-damping torque, if the out-of-plane anti-damping torque of the spin current can be realized, the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization reversal without the assistance of an external magnetic field can be realized. However, the required symmetry conditions for realizing out-of-plane anti-damping torque are very strict, and the symmetry is not satisfactory for common spin orbit torque systems, namely heavy metals, the interfacial Rashba effect and topological insulatorsOut-of-plane anti-damping moment conditions. The specific form of the anti-damping moment satisfies
Figure 429408DEST_PATH_IMAGE005
Here, the
Figure 113461DEST_PATH_IMAGE006
In order to provide an anti-damping torque,
Figure 251181DEST_PATH_IMAGE007
is the direction of the magnetization and is,
Figure 978966DEST_PATH_IMAGE008
the polarization direction of the current spin or orbital magnetic moment. From this equation, it can be seen that to achieve the out-of-plane anti-damping moment, the out-of-plane must be achieved
Figure 202137DEST_PATH_IMAGE008
. For the spin Hall effect of heavy metal, the Rashba-Edelstein effect of the interface or the surface state of a topological insulator, the spin (magnetic moment) polarization generated by the current is along the in-plane direction, i.e. the spin Hall effect is along the in-plane direction
Figure 407990DEST_PATH_IMAGE008
Is in-plane, so in these systems the anti-damping moment is also in-plane. In fact, it is very difficult to achieve out-of-plane polarization by the Edelstein effect of electron spins, which is only possible in some very specific systems (e.g. topological insulators with warping effect). But the conditions for its implementation are often very harsh or require fine adjustments, making practical use difficult. Thus, the incompatibility of spin-orbit torque with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization switching presents challenges for its application.
In summary, three main current ways of realizing magnetization switching by using the current effect, namely, current-induced oersted field, spin transfer torque and spin orbit torque, face challenges in practical applications. The complexity of the device is increased by realizing magnetization switching by using an oersted field generated by current; the spin transfer torque has the problem that the read-write current paths are not separated, so that the durability of the device is poor; the spin orbit torque realizes the separation of read-write current paths, but the magnetization reversal of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy is realized by the assistance of an external magnetic field.

In a two-dimensional system, the spin magnetic moments can still be aligned in-plane due to two-dimensional planar constraints, but the orbital magnetic moments are aligned in the out-of-plane direction due to dimensional constraints. The current-induced orbital magnetic moment polarization generates out-of-plane anti-damping torque, and the deterministic perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization reversal can be realized without the assistance of an additional magnetic field. This out-of-plane anti-damping moment based on the orbital magnetic moment is in principle completely different from the spin-orbit moment, which is due to the polarization of the spins, and therefore this out-of-plane anti-damping moment based on the orbital magnetic moment is referred to as the orbital transfer moment by the present invention. Furthermore, fixThe orbital magnetic moment of a bloch electron in a body is closely related to the geometric phase curvature, the belief curvature, of its wave function. When particle-hole symmetry is present, the orbital magnetic moment and the bery curvature exhibit a simple proportional relationship. Achieving current-induced orbital magnetic moment polarization is equivalent to achieving current-induced bery curvature polarization. The concept of bery curvature dipole moment is just as useful to describe the polarization effect of bery curvature under current. Therefore, for a two-dimensional system with a nonzero Belgium curvature dipole moment, current-induced out-of-plane orbital magnetic moment polarization can be realized, and therefore the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magnetization reversal based on the orbital transfer moment effect is realized. The system with non-zero Belgium curvature dipole moment D can generate macroscopic orbital magnetization under the action of an electric field E

The invention has the advantages that:
the present invention provides a new principle to achieve magnetization switching of perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, i.e. the track transfer torque. The current three main flow modes, namely the Oersted effect of current, spin transfer torque and spin orbit torque, realize magnetization reversal based on the electron spin degree of freedom, and the orbit transfer torque is based on the electron orbit magnetic moment degree of freedom; the track transfer torque can simultaneously realize simple device structure, separable read-write paths (combined with magnetic tunnel junctions) and no need of auxiliary turnover of an external magnetic field, namely, the advantages of the three main flow modes are absorbed and the defects are avoided; the track transfer torque realizes the magnetization reversal of the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and has the advantages of high efficiency, high speed and high integration; in addition, due to perpendicular magnetic anisotropy based on track transfer torqueThe sexual magnetization reversal utilizes the out-of-plane anti-damping moment, and the out-of-critical-plane anti-damping moment is satisfied
