Determination of spin-orbit-torque efficiencies in heterostructures with in-plane magnetic anisotropy
It has been shown that the spin Hall effect from heavy transition metals can generate
sufficient spin-orbit torque and further produce current-induced magnetization switching in
the adjacent ferromagnetic layer. However, if the ferromagnetic layer has in-plane magnetic
anisotropy, probing such switching phenomenon typically relies on tunneling
magnetoresistance measurement of nano-sized magnetic tunnel junctions, differential
planar Hall voltage measurement, or Kerr-imaging approaches. We show that in magnetic …

It has been shown that the spin Hall effect from heavy transition metals can generate sufficient spin-orbit torque and further produce current-induced magnetization switching in the adjacent ferromagnetic layer. However, if the ferromagnetic layer has in-plane magnetic anisotropy, probing such switching phenomenon typically relies on tunneling magnetoresistance measurement of nano-sized magnetic tunnel junctions, differential planar Hall voltage measurement, or Kerr-imaging approaches. We show that in magnetic heterostructures with spin Hall metals, there exist current-induced in-plane spin Hall effective fields and unidirectional magnetoresistance that will modify their anisotropic magnetoresistance behavior. We also demonstrate that by analyzing the response of anisotropic magnetoresistance under such influences, one can directly and electrically probe magnetization switching driven by the spin-orbit torque, even in micron-sized devices. This pump-probe method allows for efficient and direct determination of key parameters from spin-orbit torque switching events without lengthy device fabrication processes.
