Abstract:

Magnetic skyrmions are swirling topological spin textures, which are promising for future spintronic applications. Room-temperature skyrmions in ferromagnetic thin films are of particular importance for practical applications in memory and data storage devices, due to their compatibility with existing manufacturing techniques. In this talk, I will present a method for creating a stable skyrmion phase in a perpendicularly magnetized Ta/CoFeB/MgO material system commonly used for magnetic memory applications, by engineering the interfacial perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) of the thin film. These skyrmions can be manipulated by current-induced spin-orbit torque, which is desired for memory applications. Furthermore, we report a room-temperature skyrmion shift memory device, where individual skyrmions are controllably generated and shifted using current-induced spin-orbit torques. More importantly, electrical control of writing and addressing a stream of skyrmions is realized in the device. This prototype demonstration brings skyrmions closer to real-world computing applications.
