Article Abstract
Current-induced spin-orbit torques (SOTs) enable fast and efficient manipulation of the magnetic state of magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), making them attractive for memory, in-memory computing, and logic applications. However, the requirement of the external magnetic field to achieve deterministic switching in perpendicularly magnetized SOT-MTJs limits its implementation for practical applications. Here, we introduce a field-free switching (FFS) solution for the SOT-MTJ device by shaping the SOT channel to create a "bend" in the SOT current. The resulting bend in the charge current creates a spatially nonuniform spin current, which translates into inhomogeneous SOT on an adjacent magnetic free layer enabling deterministic switching. We demonstrate FFS experimentally on scaled SOT-MTJs at nanosecond time scales. This proposed scheme is scalable, material-agnostic, and readily compatible with wafer-scale manufacturing, thus creating a pathway for developing purely current-driven SOT systems.

Purpose: Modifying interference screw composition may ensure better osteoconductive properties in order to reduce tunnel enlargement after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The primary and secondary purposes were to evaluate tunnel and screw volume changes in poly-L-lactide acid (PLLA) and poly-D-lactic acid + hydroxyapatite + β-tricalcium phosphate (PLDLA+) screws. The tertiary purpose was to compare patient reported- and functional outcomes between PLLA and PLDLA+ group.

Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) with spin resolution, scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) and density functional theory (DFT) methods, we study the electronic structure of graphene-covered and bare Au/Co(0001) systems and reveal intriguing features, arising from the ferrimagnetic order in graphene and the underlying gold monolayer. In particular, a spin-polarized Dirac-cone-like state, intrinsically related to the induced magnetization of Au, was discovered at point. We have obtained a good agreement between experiment and theory for bare and graphene-covered Au/Co(0001) and have proven that both Au ferrimagnetism and the Dirac-cone-like band are intimately linked to the triangular loop dislocations present at the Au/Co interface.

Precise control of spin states and spin-spin interactions in atomic-scale magnetic structures is crucial for spin-based quantum technologies. A promising architecture is molecular spin systems, which offer chemical tunability and scalability for larger structures. An essential component, in addition to the qubits themselves, is switchable qubit-qubit interactions that can be individually addressed.

We examine the magnetic excitations of an Anderson lattice model with a Vshaped pseudogap arising from nodal hybridization. The model produces a V-shaped pseudogap in the electronic density of states near the Fermi energy. It lies close to an antiferromagnetic quantum critical point and features lowdimensional Fermi surfaces, aligning with experimental observations of CeNiSn.

Background: Compressive neuropathy in the upper extremity is a common and often debilitating condition that significantly impacts function and quality of life. Despite its prevalence, the diagnosis, and management of compressive neuropathies remain complex with promising innovations. Plastic surgeons play a critical role in both surgical and nonsurgical interventions for these conditions.
