Figure 6. Switching experiments utilizing spin-orbit torque induced by in-plane current.

Figure 6

(a) The magnetization direction detected by AHE measurement after each pulsed current of 10μs while sweeping current. The in-plane magnetic field Hx of 200 Oe is continuously applied during the measurement. Each line is independent AHE measurement as a function of Hz, which is designated in the top axis. The arrows indicate the critical current density for magnetization switching. (b) The inverse ratio of critical current density (Jc) to magnetic anisotropy (Hk) as a function of the W thickness, which is corresponded to the SOT-switching efficiency or the magnitude of SOT.
