Tilting of the spin orientation induced by Rashba effect in ferromagnetic metal layer

Abstract: We devised a method to measure the virtual magnetic field induced by Rashba effect in ferromagnetic metal layer. Transverse Rashba magnetic field makes the magnetization direction tilted out of the easy axis, which could be detected by the change in anomalous hall resistances. Through a specified measurement of the second harmonics of the hall resistance, the Rashba field could be obtained with high sensitivity even at low current regime. The results are compared with the prior reports based on the measurement… Show more

“…The inverse slope of the (B ext , Dj) plot, reported in figure 7 for both Pt/Co/AlO x and Pt/Co/Pt, is a direct 3) for a Rashba constant a = 10 −10 eV m, which is a realistic estimate considering that a ranges from 4 × 10 −11 to 3 × 10 −10 eV m at the interface of 5d metal systems and that oxidation may further enhance its value. We remark, however, that recent AHE measurements show that the relationship between B SO and j is not linear, in particular when an extended range of currents j = 10 6 −10 8 A cm −2 is considered [91,92]. Such nonlinear behaviour might be attributed to transient heating effects, which, at high current, can enhance the effective action of B SO compared with static external fields, as well as to more complex dynamic phenomena that are not included in the simple models presented here [92].…”

“…The corresponding non-equilibrium spin density, generated in the ISGE by inversion-asymmetry terms in the relativistic Hamiltonian, has naturally no dependence on magnetization. Hence, in the context of magnetic semiconductors 6,8,17,18 or ferromagnet/paramagnet structures 1,7,[19][20][21] , the ISGE may be expected to yield only the field-like component of the torque BM Â f, where the vector f is independent of the magnetization vector M (see Fig. 1a).…”

“…14,15 Although a high SOT has been reported on the Co/Pd MLs recently, 13 no systematic works have been done for explaining the presence of SOT in the multilayers, where the spin currents from heavy metal may counteract each other and no Rashba interaction can be seen without structure inversion asymmetry. By conducting the lock-in technique, [16][17][18] the dependence of SOT efficiencies of the Co/Pt MLs on different repeating layer number (N) is investigated. Besides, Cu and Ta are inserted into the Co/Pt MLs for modifying the interfacial conditions to clarify the origin of SOT in multilayers system and to tune the strength of SOT efficiency.…”
