A method of producing a multilayer magnetoelectronic device and a related device. The method includes depositing a multilayer structure including at least two ferromagnetic layers disposed one on top of the other and each having a magnetic anisotropy with a corresponding magnetic moment. A magnetization curve is specified for the magnetoelectronic device. The number of ferromagnetic layers and, for each of the ferromagnetic layers, the magnetic moment and the magnetic hardness for obtaining the specified magnetization curve are determined. For each of the ferromagnetic layers a magnetic material, a thickness, an azimuthal angle and an angle of incidence are determined for obtaining the determined magnetic moment and magnetic hardness of the respective ferromagnetic layer. The multilayer structure is deposited using the determined material, thickness, azimuthal angle and angle of incidence for each of the ferromagnetic layers.

The present invention relates to the technical field of superlattice magneto-optical material technologies, and in particular, to a superlattice material, and a preparation method and application thereof. According to description of embodiments, the superlattice material provided in the present invention has both a relatively good magnetic property of a ferrous garnet material and a good photoelectric absorption characteristic of a two-dimensional semiconductor material such as graphene. Magneto-optical Kerr effect data obtained through testing shows that: A saturated magneto-optical Kerr angle of the superlattice material in the present invention is 13 mdeg in a magnetic field of 2500 Oe, and a magneto-optical Kerr angle of the superlattice material is increased by 2.5 times compared with a nonsuperlattice ferrimagnetic thin film material into which no two-dimensional material is inserted, thereby achieving magneto-optical effect enhancement.

The radiation sources are based on a superlattice heterostructure that supports in-phase magnetic dipole emission from a series of magnetic insulator layers disposed along the length of the heterostructure.

A magnetic memory device includes a spin-orbit torque (SOT) induction spin Hall electrode and a free layer of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) stack disposed on the spin Hall electrode which is a synthetic anti-ferromagnetic structure. The free layer has a magnetic moment which is askew of the long axis of the MTJ stack and askew the direction of current flow through the spin Hall electrode. The MTJ stack internally generates a magnetic field to switch the state of the free layer. The free layer includes a first layer separated from a second layer by a spacer layer, where the first layer and the second layer may have the same or different crystalline structures.

A device including a first magnetic layer, a templating structure and a second magnetic layer is described. The templating structure is on the first magnetic layer. The second magnetic layer is on the templating structure. The templating structure includes D and E.

An apparatus comprises a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) including a free magnetic layer, a fixed magnetic layer, and a tunnel barrier between the free and fixed layers, the tunnel barrier directly contacting a first side of the free layer, a capping layer contacting the second side of the free magnetic layer and boron absorption layer positioned a fixed distance above the capping layer.

A switching device is disclosed. The switching device includes a spin-orbit coupling (SOC) layer, a pure spin conductor (PSC) layer disposed atop the SOC layer, a ferromagnetic (FM) layer disposed atop the PSC layer, and a normal metal (NM) layer sandwiched between the PSC layer and the FM layer. The PSC layer is a ferromagnetic insulator (FMI) is configured to funnel spins from the SOC layer onto the NM layer and to further provide a charge insulation so as to substantially eliminate current shunting from the SOC layer while allowing spins to pass through. The NM layer is configured to funnel spins from the PSC layer into the FM layer.

A magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) is disclosed wherein first and second interfaces of a free layer (FL) with a first metal oxide (Hk enhancing layer) and second metal oxide (tunnel barrier), respectively, produce perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) to increase thermal stability. In some embodiments, a capping layer that is a conductive metal nitride such as MoN contacts an opposite surface of the Hk enhancing layer with respect to the first interface to reduce interdiffusion of oxygen and nitrogen compared with a TiN capping layer and maintain an acceptable resistance x area (RA) product. In other embodiments, the capping layer may comprise an insulating nitride such as AlN that is alloyed with a conductive metal to minimize RA. Furthermore, a metallic buffer layer may be inserted between the capping layer and Hk enhancing layer. As a result, electrical shorts are reduced and the magnetoresistive ratio is increased.
