Large Unidirectional Magnetoresistance In Metallic Heterostructures In The Spin Transfer Torque Regime
PHYSICAL REVIEW B(2021)
摘要
A large unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR) ratio of UMR/R-xx approximate to 0.36% is found in W/CoFeB metallic bilayer heterostructures at room temperature. Three different regimes in terms of the current dependence of the UMR ratio are identified: a spin-dependent-scattering mechanism regime at small current densities J approximate to 10(9)A/m(2) (UMR ratio proportional to J(3)), a spin-magnon-interaction mechanism regime at intermediate J approximate to 10(9) A/m(2) (UMR ratio proportional to J(3)), and a spin transfer torque (STT) regime at J approximate to 10(11)Delta/m(2) (UMR ratio independent of J). We verify the direct correlation between this large UMR and the transfer of spin angular momentum from the W layer to the CoFeB layer by both field-dependent and current-dependent UMR characterizations. Numerical simulations further confirm that the large STT-UMR stems from the tilting of the magnetization affected by the spin Hall effect-induced STTs. An alternative approach to estimate dampinglike spin torque efficiencies from magnetic heterostructures is also proposed.
