Multiple spin functionalities are probed on Pt/LaCoMnO/Nb:SrTiO, a device composed by a ferromagnetic insulating barrier sandwiched between non-magnetic electrodes. Uniquely, LaCoMnO thin films present strong perpendicular magnetic anisotropy of magnetocrystalline origin, property of major interest for spintronics. The junction has an estimated spin-filtering efficiency of 99.7% and tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) values up to 30% at low temperatures. This remarkable angular dependence of the magnetoresistance is associated with the magnetic anisotropy whose origin lies in the large spin-orbit interaction of Co which is additionally tuned by the strain of the crystal lattice. Furthermore, we found that the junction can operate as an electrically readable magnetic memory device. The findings of this work demonstrate that a single ferromagnetic insulating barrier with strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy is sufficient for realizing sensor and memory functionalities in a tunneling device based on TAMR.

Optical synaptic devices (OSDs) have neuromorphic vision sensing capability showing great potential in breaking the von Neumann bottleneck and facilitating future artificial vision systems. However, the applications of two-dimensional (2D) material-based OSDs are still impeded by complicated structures, preparation techniques and so on. In this work, we propose a 2D OSD based on BiSe films prepared by a chemical vapor deposition method followed by an in-situ thermal treatment.

We investigated the hysteresis, pseudo-critical, and compensation behaviors of a quasi-spherical FeCo alloy nanoparticle (2 nm in diameter) using Monte Carlo simulations with thermal bath-type algorithms and a 3D mixed Ising model. The nanostructure was modeled in a body-centered cubic lattice (BCC) through the following configurations: spin S=3/2 for Co and Q=2 for Fe. These simulations reveal that, under the influence of crystal and magnetic fields, the nanoparticle exhibits compensation phenomena, exchange bias, and pseudo-critical temperatures.

Due to stringent thermal budgets in cryogenic technologies such as superconducting quantum computers and sensors, electronic building blocks that simultaneously offer low energy consumption, fast switching, low error rates, a small footprint, and simple fabrication are pivotal for large-scale devices. Here, we demonstrate a superconducting switch with attojoule switching energy, high speed (pico-second rise/fall times), and high integration density (on the order of 10 μm per switch). It consists of a superconducting nanochannel and a metal heater separated by an insulating silica layer.
