Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), which arises from the broken inversion symmetry and spin-orbit coupling, is of prime interest as it leads to a stabilization of chiral magnetic order and provides an efficient manipulation of magnetic nanostructures. Here, we report all-electrical measurement of DMI using propagating spin wave spectroscopy based on the collective spin wave with a well-defined wave vector. We observe a substantial frequency shift of spin waves depending on the spin chirality in Pt/Co/MgO structures. After subtracting the contribution from other sources to the frequency shift, it is possible to quantify the DMI energy in Pt/Co/MgO systems. The result reveals that the DMI in Pt/Co/MgO originates from the interfaces, and the sign of DMI corresponds to the inversion asymmetry of the film structures. The electrical excitation and detection of spin waves and the influence of interfacial DMI on the collective spin-wave dynamics will pave the way to the emerging field of spin-wave logic devices.

While traditionally considered a deleterious effect in quantum dot spin qubits, the spin-orbit interaction is recently being revisited as it allows for rapid coherent control by on-chip AC electric fields. For electrons in bulk silicon, spin-orbit coupling (SOC) is intrinsically weak, however, it can be enhanced at surfaces and interfaces, or through atomic placement. Here it is showed that the strength of the spin-orbit coupling can be locally enhanced by more than two orders of magnitude in the manybody wave functions of multi-donor quantum dots compared to a single donor, reaching strengths so far only reported for holes or two-donor system with certain symmetry.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers discovered that a [Pt/Au] multilayer with a composition gradient exhibits greater SOT efficiency than pure Pt, enabling magnetization switching without an external magnetic field.
- * Findings reveal that the interface between Pt/Au generates a polarized spin current necessary for this field-free switching, while also suggesting a combination of interface effects and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions play a role in the process.
Evaluation of a commercial electrical stunning method for farmed grower saltwater crocodiles () using non-invasive EEG measurements.

The aim of this study was to assess welfare outcomes of electrical stunning as a means of restraint in farmed grower saltwater crocodiles (). Physical handling of a stunned, unconscious crocodile is far safer for the operator than handling a fully conscious animal. Electroencephalogram (EEG) was recorded before and after the application of electrical stunning at 50 Hz or 400 Hz using an electrical stunner applied to the cranial plate (Position 1: P1-50 Hz; n = 31, P1-400 Hz; n = 29) or immediately behind the skull (Position 2: P2-50 Hz; n = 29; P2-400 Hz; n = 30).

Racetrack memories with magnetic skyrmions have recently been proposed as a promising storage technology. To be appealing, several challenges must still be faced for the deterministic generation of skyrmions, their high-fidelity transfer, and accurate reading. Here, we realize the first proof-of-concept of a 9-bit skyrmion racetrack memory with all-electrical controllable functionalities implemented in the same device.

Electronic detection of DNA oligomers offers the promise of rapid, miniaturized DNA analysis across various biotechnological applications. However, known all-electrical methods, which solely rely on measuring electrical signals in transducers during probe-target DNA hybridization, are prone to nonspecific electrostatic and electrochemical interactions, subsequently limiting their specificity and detection limit. Here, we demonstrate a nanomechanoelectrical approach that delivers ultra-robust specificity and a 100-fold improvement in detection limit.
