Article Abstract
Current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) allows efficient electrical manipulation on magnetization in spintronic devices. Maximizing the SOT efficiency is a key goal that is pursued via increasing the net spin generation and accumulation. However, spin transport in antiferromagnets is seriously restricted due to the strong antiferromagnetic coupling, which blocks the development of antiferromagnetic-based devices. Here, a significant enhancement of SOT efficiency in IrMn (IrMn)-based heterostructure associated with the orbital effect of naturally oxidized Cu (Cu*) bottom layer is reported. Considering the weak spin-orbit coupling of Cu*, the enhancement results from an orbital current generated from charge current at the Cu*/IrMn interface that contributes to spin current in the IrMn layer due to the strong spin-orbit coupling. The SOT efficiency variation with IrMn thickness reveals the process of orbital angular momentum (OAM) transportation and conversion. Moreover, the contribution of orbital current is verified by the critical current density decreasing of SOT-driven magnetization switching in Cu*/IrMn/[Co/Pt] heterostructure. This study opens a path to design high-efficient SOT-based spintronic devices combining the advantages of OAM and metallic antiferromagnets.

Functional magnetic multilayers are particularly interesting for enabling many emerging spintronic physics, including spin-orbit torque (SOT), magnetic proximity effect (MPE), and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), among many others. A comprehension of these spintronic phenomena is vital for the development of advanced spintronic materials and devices. Here, we investigate the interplay between the MPE and the current-induced SOT switching in the perpendicularly magnetized Pt/[Co/Pd] multilayers (with being the number of repetitions).

Introduction: Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have diminished tolerance for gastrointestinal endoscopy procedures (upper/lower) performed under deep sedation, resulting in increased incidence rates of hypotension and myocardial ischaemia among these patients. Avoiding hypoxemia caused by deep sedation and increased oxygen consumption caused by inadequate sedation is particularly important in these patients. Based on recent data indicating that high-flow nasal oxygen therapy (HFNO) is beneficial for preventing hypoxaemia in high-risk patients, this study investigated whether HFNO can improve myocardial oxygen supply during gastrointestinal endoscopy under deep sedation.

Writing magnetic bits through spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching is promising for fast and efficient magnetic random-access memory devices. While SOT switching of out-of-plane (OOP) magnetized states requires lateral symmetry breaking, in-plane (IP) magnetized states suffer from low storage density. Here, we demonstrate a field-free switching scheme using a 5-nanometer europium iron garnet film grown with a (110) orientation that shows a spin reorientation transition from OOP to IP above room temperature.

Electrical manipulation of magnetism in 2D van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnet (FM) holds promise for next-generation spintronic devices. Investigating field-free, ultrafast switching at room temperature in wafer-scalable vdW heterostructures can advance the development of faster memories and enhance the understanding of magnetization switching mechanisms in 2D FMs. In this study, field-free, room temperature spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching at subnanosecond timescales in a wafer-scalable FeGaTe/Pt heterostructure by epitaxial growth engineering is demonstrated.

The capture of Carbon Dioxide (CO) is very relevant nowadays as global warming hits its peak. The separation of CO using membranes has received wide recognition by researchers because of its energy efficiency. Various Ionic Liquid supported membranes have been proven effective in this regard; however, their higher cost and toxicity are limitations, which opens possibilities for Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES).
