| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to clarify the physics of spin orbit torque produced in a heterostructure consisting of a non-magnetic material with strong spin orbit interaction and a 100% spin-polarized half-metallic material, and to develop a basic technology to realize a novel magnetoresistance device and/or self-excited oscillator with high performance. To do this, a novel three-terminal magnetic tunnel junction consisting of a non-magnetic material with a strong spin orbit interaction and a half-metallic Co-based Heusler alloy electrodes was fabricated, and clear SOT-induced magnetization switching for the Co-based Heusler alloy was demonstrated.
