Reduction of back switching by large damping ferromagnetic material
2020
Recent studies on magnetization dynamics induced by spin-orbit torque have revealed a weak dependence of the critical current for magnetization switching on the damping constant of a ferromagnetic free layer. This study, however, reveals that the damping constant nevertheless plays a key role in magnetization switching induced by spin-orbit torque. An undesirable switching, returning to an initial state, named as back switching, occurs in a ferromagnet with an easy axis parallel to the current direction. Numerical and theoretical analyses reveal that back switching is strongly suppressed when the damping constant of the ferromagnet is large.
