Granular Magnetization Switching in Pt/Co/Ti Structure with HfOx Insertion for In-Memory Computing Applications.

Exploring multiple states based on the domain wall (DW) position has garnered increased attention for in-memory computing applications, particularly focusing on the utilization of spin-orbit torque (SOT) to drive DW motion. However, devices relying on the DW position require efficient DW pinning. Here, we achieve granular magnetization switching by incorporating an HfOx insertion layer between the Co/Ti interface.

Analysis of endophytic bacterial diversity in seeds of different genotypes of cotton and the suppression of Verticillium wilt pathogen infection by a synthetic microbial community.

Background: In agricultural production, fungal diseases significantly impact the yield and quality of cotton (Gossypium spp.) with Verticillium wilt posing a particularly severe threat.

Results: This study is focused on investigating the effectiveness of endophytic microbial communities present in the seeds of disease-resistant cotton genotypes in the control of cotton Verticillium wilt.

Acoustic spin rotation in heavy-metal-ferromagnet bilayers.

Through pumping a spin current from ferromagnet into heavy metal (HM) via magnetization precession, parts of the injected spins are in-plane rotated by the lattice vibration, namely acoustic spin rotation (ASR), which manifests itself as an inverse spin Hall voltage in HM with an additional 90° difference in angular dependency. When reversing the stacking order of bilayer with a counter-propagating spin current or using HMs with an opposite spin Hall angle, such ASR voltage shows the same sign, strongly suggesting that ASR changes the rotation direction due to interface spin-orbit interaction. With the drift-diffusion model of spin transport, we quantify the efficiency of ASR up to 30%.

Transcriptome analysis in hepatopancreases reveals the response of domesticated common carp to a high-temperature environment in the agricultural heritage rice-fish system.

Qingtian paddy field carp (PF-carp) is a local carp cultivated in the paddy field of Qingtian, Zhejiang. This rice-fish co-culture system has been recognized as one of the Globally Important Agriculture Heritage Systems (GIAHS). PF-carp has been acclimatized to the high-temperature environment of shallow paddy fields after several centuries of domestication.

Stabilization and Reversal of Skyrmion Lattice in Ta/CoFeB/MgO Multilayers.

Recently, magnetic skyrmion has attracted much attention due to its potential application in racetrack memory and other nanodevices. In bulk chiral magnets with non-centrosymmetric crystal structures, skyrmion lattice phase has been extensively observed. However, in film or multilayers with interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, individual skyrmion is often observed.

Spin orbit torques induced magnetization reversal through asymmetric domain wall propagation in Ta/CoFeB/MgO structures.

The magnetization reversal induced by spin orbit torques in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in perpendicularly magnetized Ta/CoFeB/MgO structures were investigated by using a combination of Anomalous Hall effect measurement and Kerr effect microscopy techniques. By analyzing the in-plane field dependent spin torque efficiency measurements, an effective field value for the DMI of ~300 Oe was obtained, which plays a key role to stabilize Néel walls in the film stack. Kerr imaging reveals that the current-induced reversal under small and medium in-plane field was mediated by domain nucleation at the edge of the Hall bar, followed by asymmetric domain wall (DW) propagation.

Effects of Ru and Ag cap layers on microstructure and magnetic properties of FePt ultrathin films.

The effects of Ru and Ag cap layers on the microstructure and magnetic properties of the FePt ultrathin films have been investigated. The results indicate that i) The Ag cap layer segregates from the FePt/Ag bilayer, lowers the FePt ordering temperature, promotes the FePt thin films to form island structure, and enhances the coercivity; ii) The Ru cap layer increases the FePt ordering temperature, helps to maintain smooth continuous structure film, and restrains the FePt (001) orientation and perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). The effects become more pronounced for the 3-nm-thick FePt thin films.
