Spin–orbit torque magnetization switching is an efficient method to control magnetization. In perpendicularly magnetized films, two types of spin–orbit torque are induced by driving a current: a ...

Spin-polarized currents represent an efficient tool for manipulating ferromagnetic nanostructures but the critical current density necessary for the magnetization switching is usually too high for ...

Spintronics leverages electron spins to enhance solid-state devices by prolonging battery life. Spintronic developments, however, are increasingly running up against the Slater-Pauling limit, the ...

Researchers have established a low-cost method of magnetization reversal on perpendicularly magnetized ferromagnets. Not needing an external magnetic field, the method brings reverse magnetization ...

Electrons inherently carry both spin and orbital angular momentum (i.e., properties that help to understand the rotating motions and behavior of particles). While some physicists and engineers have ...

A research group has successfully synthesized a "half-metal" material, achieving a rare feat in the pursuit of zero magnetization. Half-metals can dramatically enhance the performance of electronic ...

The last 50 years have seen the development of methods for the digital storage of information. The current method for the storage of digital information is predominantly through the use of magnetic ...

A fundamental transformation of the transportation sector in the United States is under way (Electrification Coalition 2009). In parallel with advances in renewable energy resources for power ...
