Abstract:In this lecture, I will begin with a basic introduction of the physical origin of SOT, followed by the related symmetry analysis of a magnetic thin film in a sandwiched structure for the generation of a net SOT effect. Then I will introduce a new method---a composition gradient along the thin-film normal for breaking the inversion symmetry--to generate bulk-like SOT [1] . I will give a detailed discussion on our methods for the realization of all-electric switching of perpendicular magnetization: the use of a spin source layer with low magnetic symmetry and low crystal symmetry[2]; interfacial 3m1 symmetry, which induces a new “3m” spin torque [3]; precise control of the tilting of magnetocrystalline anisotropy easy axis [4]; and a spin-current gradient along the current direction [5].
