Effects of thermal annealing on the spin–orbit torque and unidirectional spin Hall magnetoresistance in Pt/CoFe/Ta trilayers

We investigated the spin–orbit torque (SOT) and unidirectional spin Hall magnetoresistance (USMR) in Pt/CoFe/Ta trilayer as well as Pt/CoFe and CoFe/Ta bilayers with in-plane magnetic anisotropy by performing transverse and longitudinal second harmonic resistance measurements. Compared to the two bi...
