Voltage Controlled Spin-Orbit Torque Switching in W/CoFeB/MgO
2021
Voltage control of magnetism and spintronics have been highly desirable but rarely realized. In this work, we show voltage-controlled spin–orbit torque (SOT) switching in W/CoFeB/MgO films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) with voltage administered through SrTiO3 with a high dielectric constant. We show that a DC voltage can significantly lower PMA by 45%, reduce switching current by 23%, and increase the damping-like torque as revealed by the first- and second-harmonic measurements. These are characteristics that are prerequisites for voltage-controlled and voltage-select SOT switching spintronic devices.
