Research Abstract |
The understanding of interaction between “spin current" and “magnetization" is an essential issue for the development of spintronic devices. In this research project, bilayers consisting of hard magnetic L10-FePt and soft magnetic Permalloy (FeNi alloy) were prepared, and twisted spin structures were artificially formed in the bilayers. The magnetization dynamics of the bilayers were investigated, and the high efficient magnetization switching technique was developed using the spin wave mode in the bilayers. Also, the current-induced magnetization switching was successfully observed in the nanopillars with a twisted spin structure.
