Spin–orbit torque induced magnetization switching in the W/CoFeB/Zr/MgO multilayers with high thermal stability

We demonstrate the spin–orbit torque (SOT) induced perpendicular magnetization switching in an annealed W/CoFeB/Zr/MgO multilayer with high thermal stability. It is found that the thermal stability factor can reach 79 after annealing at 540 °C. With an increase in the annealing temperature, the abso...
