Article Abstract
Mobile magnetic textures hold great potential for applications in magnetic memories and neuromorphic computing. However, energy consumption remains an issue as magnetic textures are manipulated using electrical currents. We demonstrate using magneto-ionic gating that a spin reorientation transition (SRT) between two magnetic anisotropy states can be nucleated and propagated across a magnetic track, like magnetic domain walls or skyrmions. The SRT dynamics can be controlled exclusively using gate voltage pulses down to the submillisecond range and monitored electrically via the anomalous Hall effect, with an estimated energy consumption of 64 pJ for a full switching of the device. Intermediate nonvolatile states allow for analogue operation, which could provide a synaptic potentiation/depression functionality with a significantly reduced energy cost per weight-update operation compared to current-based approaches. These results add a voltage-driven magnetic information carrier to the spintronics tool kit, offering a new avenue for the design of low-power spintronics multistate memories.

Moiré superlattices introduce new length and energy scales, enabling discoveries, such as unconventional superconductivity, in 2D systems. This concept has recently been extended to bulk materials with multiple- spin textures, opening exciting opportunities for spin moiré physics. A notable example is EuAgSb, where a spin moiré superlattice (SMS), manifested as a double- spin modulation, induces a superzone gap opening.

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.

The physics at antiferromagnetic (AFM)/ferromagnetic (FM) interfaces, including exchange bias (EB) and spin current, are of key interest in spintronics. However, the relationship between the EB effect and spin current is still controversial. Here, we have observed anisotropic and controllable nonlocal damping in a typical EB system, i.

Single-phase multiferroics are rare due to the incompatibility of the empty d orbitals for ferroelectricity and partially filled d orbitals for magnetism. This study proposes a route to achieve Mott multiferroicity in HfO via Nb and Ta doping, which induces an extra d electron while preserving the oxygen displacement in the polar phase. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations confirm the stability of doped ferroelectric (FE) HfO, with FE transition temperatures exceeding room temperature and reduced switching barriers.
