Spin-orbit torque magnetization switching in Co/Pt multilayers for multistate memory and logic devices by Lim, Gerard Joseph

“…It has proven to be a serious contender in emerging memory technology due to its intrinsic non-volatility, low power dissipation, and high speed. The spin degree of freedom further opens opportunities that exploit its ultrafast dynamics and spin transport. …”

Programmable spin–orbit-torque logic device with integrated bipolar bias field for chirality control by Lim, Gerard Joseph, Chua Daniel, Gan Weiliang, Murapaka Chandrasekhar, Lew Wen Siang

“…While several field-free spin–orbit torque (SOT)-driven logic devices have been proposed, their operation typically requires additional initialization or reset pulses, the exchange-coupled canted spins reduce both anomalous Hall sign-to-noise ratio as well as thermal stability of the ferromagnetic layer, and device-to-device variation in exchange coupling strength is expected. …”

Janus particle preparation through UV-induced partial photodegradation of spin-coated particle films by Tan, Jasmine Si Jia, Wong, Chong Hui, Chen, Zhong

“…Photocatalytic titanium dioxide particles prefunctionalized with a surface coating were assembled as particle films via spin-coating on a substrate. The particle films were placed directly under an ultraviolet light source, which induced the photodegradation of the surface coating only on the particle surfaces exposed to the light. …”
