We achieve current-induced switching in collinear insulating antiferromagnetic CoO/Pt, with fourfold in-plane magnetic anisotropy. This is measured electrically by spin Hall magnetoresistance and confirmed by the magnetic field-induced spin-flop transition of the CoO layer. By applying current pulses and magnetic fields, we quantify the efficiency of the acting current-induced torques and estimate a current-field equivalence ratio of 4×10^{-11} T A^{-1} m^{2}. The Néel vector final state (n⊥j) is in line with a thermomagnetoelastic switching mechanism for a negative magnetoelastic constant of the CoO.
我们在具有四重面内磁各向异性的共线绝缘反铁磁体CoO/Pt中实现了电流诱导开关。这通过自旋霍尔磁电阻进行电学测量，并通过CoO层的磁场诱导自旋翻转转变得到证实。通过施加电流脉冲和磁场，我们量化了起作用的电流诱导转矩的效率，并估计出电流 - 场等效比为4×10⁻¹¹ T A⁻¹ m²。奈尔矢量最终状态（n⊥j）与CoO负磁弹性常数的热磁弹性开关机制一致。
