Spin–orbit torque switching in a T-type magnetic configuration with current orthogonal to easy axes

Spin–orbit torque switching in a T-type magnetic configuration with current orthogonal to easy axes

Spin-orbit torque (SOT) induced magnetization switching facilitates all electric multi-state spin memories and spin logic devices. Here the authors show a new SOT field-free switching mode where the perpendicular layer with tilted easy axis is coupled to an in-plane layer with a uniaxial easy axis.
