The electrical control of the magnetization switching in ferromagnets is highly desired for future spintronic applications. Here we report on hybrid piezoelectric (PZT)/ferromagnetic (Co2FeAl) devices in which the planar Hall voltage in the ferromagn... Read More about Piezo voltage controlled planar hall effect devices.

Spin-orbit torque in Pt/CoNiCo/Pt symmetric devices (2016)

Current induced magnetization switching by spin-orbit torques offers an energy-efficient means of writing information in heavy metal/ferromagnet (FM) multilayer systems. The relative contributions of field-like torques and damping-like torques to the... Read More about Spin-orbit torque in Pt/CoNiCo/Pt symmetric devices.

Electrical switching of an antiferromagnet (2016)
Journal Article

Antiferromagnets are hard to control by external magnetic fields because of the alternating directions of magnetic moments on individual atoms and the resulting zero net magnetization. However, relativistic quantum mechanics allows for generating cur... Read More about Electrical switching of an antiferromagnet.
