Outline of Final Research Achievements |
For application to voltage-driven magnetic memories, ferromagnetic-oxide / ferromagnetic-metal / nonmagnetic metal repetition layer structure was fabricated by magnetron sputtering method, and the magnetic property and the crystal structure of the samples were evaluated. Zn ferrite, used as a ferromagnetic-oxide, was epitaxially grown on ferromagnetic FeCo / nonmagnetic W buffer layers. Perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, which is important for memory applications, was confirmed in the repetition multilayer. There is the possibility that the proposed structure is available in the magnetic memories.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
現在、電圧駆動メモリデバイスの基本構造は強磁性金属/非磁性絶縁体の構造であるが、その構造では繰り返し積層して体積を増やしていくことは難しいと考えられる。一方、全てが磁気的に結合した強磁性絶縁体/強磁性金属/非磁性金属構造が実現できれば、繰り返し回数を大きくしてもメモリ機能は維持できると考えられる。本研究期間内では、電圧による磁気特性の変調を確認するまでには至れなかったが、提案する構造において、結晶成長すること、目標とする磁気特性を得ることに成功した。
