Spin orbit torques induced magnetization reversal through asymmetric domain wall propagation in Ta/CoFeB/MgO structures by Cao, Jiangwei, Chen, Yifei, Jin, Tianli, Gan, Weiliang, Wang, Ying, Zheng, Yuqiang, Lv, Hua, Cardoso, Susana, Wei, Dan, Lew, Wen Siang

“…The magnetization reversal induced by spin orbit torques in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in perpendicularly magnetized Ta/CoFeB/MgO structures were investigated by using a combination of Anomalous Hall effect measurement and Kerr effect microscopy techniques. By analyzing the in-plane field dependent spin torque efficiency measurements, an effective field value for the DMI of ~300 Oe was obtained, which plays a key role to stabilize Néel walls in the film stack. …”

Near-field dynamics of parallel twin jets in cross-flow by Zang, Bin, New, Tze How

“…Moreover, as the separation distance decreases to 1.5D, the twin jets interact closer to the jet exit such that organized leading-edge and lee-side vortices are present along the symmetry plane. Cross-stream results indicate that the pair of inner vortices associated with the two resulting CVPs is being induced to move towards each other along the symmetry plane, where their opposite-signed vorticities annihilate with each other eventually. …”
