Abstract

Antiferromagnets are hard to control by external magnetic fields because of the alternating directions of magnetic moments on individual atoms and the resulting zero net magnetization. However, relativistic quantum mechanics allows for generating current-induced internal fields whose sign alternates with the periodicity of the antiferromagnetic lattice. Using these fields, which couple strongly to the antiferromagnetic order, we demonstrate room-temperature electrical switching between stable configurations in antiferromagnetic CuMnAs thin-film devices by applied current with magnitudes of order 10(6) ampere per square centimeter. Electrical writing is combined in our solid-state memory with electrical readout and the stored magnetic state is insensitive to and produces no external magnetic field perturbations, which illustrates the unique merits of antiferromagnets for spintronics.

摘要

反铁磁体由于各原子磁矩的反向排列以及由此导致的净磁矩为零,因此很难通过外部磁场进行控制。然而,相对论量子力学允许产生与反铁磁晶格周期性相反的电流感应内部场。通过使用这些与反铁磁有序强烈耦合的场,我们在反铁磁 CuMnAs 薄膜器件中展示了通过施加每平方厘米约 10(6)安培的电流,在稳定配置之间进行室温电切换。在我们的固态存储器中,电写入与电读取相结合,并且存储的磁状态对外部磁场干扰不敏感也不会产生外部磁场干扰,这说明了反铁磁体在自旋电子学中的独特优势。
