Abstract:
Currently double-interface magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs) have been developed for enhancing the thermal stability barrier at the nanoscale technology node. Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) inevitably exists in such devices due to the use of the heavy-metal/ferromagnet structures. Previous studies have demonstrated the detrimental effect of DMI on the conventional single-interface spin-transfer torque (STT) MTJs. Here, in this work, we will prove that the detrimental effect of DMI could be almost eliminated in the double-interface STT-MTJ. This conclusion is attributed to the suppressing effect of Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) interaction on the DMI. Detailed mechanisms are analyzed based on the theoretical models and micromagnetic simulation results. Our work highlights the importance of appropriately controlling the DMI in the composite free layer of the double-interface STT-MTJ.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
