Control of antiferromagnetic spin axis orientation in bilayer Fe/CuMnAs films (2017)
Journal Article
Wadley, P., Edmonds, K., Shahedkhah, M., Campion, R., Gallagher, B., Železný, J., …Dhesi, S. (in press). Control of antiferromagnetic spin axis orientation in bilayer Fe/CuMnAs films. Scientific Reports, 7, Article 11147. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-11653-8

Using x-ray magnetic circular and linear dichroism techniques, we demonstrate a collinear exchange coupling between an epitaxial antiferromagnet, tetragonal CuMnAs, and an Fe surface layer. A small uncompensated Mn magnetic moment is observed which i... Read More about Control of antiferromagnetic spin axis orientation in bilayer Fe/CuMnAs films.

Antiferromagnetic CuMnAs multi-level memory cell with microelectronic compatibility (2017)
Journal Article

Antiferromagnets offer a unique combination of properties including the radiation and magnetic field hardness, the absence of stray magnetic fields, and the spin-dynamics frequency scale in terahertz. Recent experiments have demonstrated that relativ... Read More about Antiferromagnetic CuMnAs multi-level memory cell with microelectronic compatibility.

Electric field control of deterministic current-induced magnetization switching in a hybrid ferromagnetic/ferroelectric structure (2017)
Journal Article
Cai, K.-M., Yang, M.-Y., Ju, H., Wang, S., Ji, Y., Li, B., …Wang, K. (in press). Electric field control of deterministic current-induced magnetization switching in a hybrid ferromagnetic/ferroelectric structure. Nature Materials, 16(7), https://doi.org/10.1038/nmat4886

All-electrical and programmable manipulations of ferromagnetic bits are highly pursued for the aim of high integration and low energy consumption in modern information technology1, 2, 3. Methods based on the spin–orbit torque switching4, 5, 6 in heav...

Imaging current-induced switching of antiferromagnetic domains in CuMnAs (2017)
Journal Article
Grzybowski, M., Wadley, P., Edmonds, K., Beardsley, R., Hills, V. A., Campion, R., …Dhesi, S. (2017). Imaging current-induced switching of antiferromagnetic domains in CuMnAs. Physical Review Letters, 118(5), Article 057701. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.057701

The magnetic order in antiferromagnetic materials is hard to control with external magnetic fields. Using X-ray Magnetic Linear Dichroism microscopy, we show that staggered effective fields generated by electrical current can induce modification of t...
