Yuichiro Kurokawa, Masakazu Wakae, Satoshi Sumi, Hiroyuki Awano, Kohei Ohnishi, Hiromi Yuasa, Spin-orbit torque-driven current-induced domain wall motion in Gd-Fe magnetic wires, Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 10.7567/1347-4065/aafa91, 58, 3, 2019.03, We fabricated Gd-Fe/Ta/sub. and W/Gd-Fe/Ta/sub. perpendicular magnetized magnetic wires and investigated current-induced domain wall motion (CIDWM) in them. The propagation field of the Gd-Fe wires is low (∼3 mT), and the wires were found to have a low threshold current density (∼3.1 ×1010 A m-2) of CIDWM. The directions of the CIDWM in Gd-Fe/Ta and W/Gd-Fe/Ta wires are opposite to each other, indicating that the CIDWM in both wires is driven by spin-orbit torque because the spin Hall torque generated by the Ta underlayer and W cap layer oppose each other.. |

Masakazu Wakae, Yuichiro Kurokawa, Hiromi Yuasa, Observation of spin-orbit torque-induced magnetization switching in Gd-Fe perpendicular magnetized wire with in-plane exchange bias field, Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 10.7567/1347-4065/aaf877, 58, 2019.01, We fabricated a Ta/Gd-Fe/Ta and a Ta/Gd-Fe/Ir22Mn78/Co90Fe10/Ta multilayered magnetic wire and investigated spin-orbit torque current-induced magnetization switching in these wires. Magnetization switching in the Ta/Gd-Fe/Ir22Mn78/Co90Fe10/Ta multilayered magnetic wire can be observed by an electric current even if the external in-plane magnetic field is not applied at all. Moreover, we successfully observed the periodical magnetization switching in the Ta/Gd-Fe/Ir22Mn78/Co90Fe10/Ta multilayered magnetic wire in zero magnetic field. This indicates that the present wire is a promising material to realize magnetic random access memory with low power consumption.. |

(3 nm) multilayered magnetic wire and investigated current-induced domain wall
motion within it.We found that the Hall resistance of the Pt/Tb-Co/Ta/Tb-Co/Pt wire
has four stable levels under a magnetic field of zero. Moreover, we observed that the
domain walls in both the upper and lower ferromagnetic layers are controlled by a
single current source. This indicates that Pt/Tb-Co/Ta/Tb-Co/Pt wire can be used in
multi-level magnetic wire memory.. |
