中文摘要: 为了克服传统的磁场写入技术的缺陷,自旋角动量转移(STT)写入技术近年来得到高度重视。利用STT效应,人们可以直接通过自旋极化电流来推动磁畴壁运动以达到信息的存储,大大降低了功率的损耗。因此,电流驱动畴壁位移 (CIDWM) 也成为新一代高速率高密度存储的重要方式之一。这类畴壁存储器件以磁畴壁作为存储单元,其性能一方面依赖于推动畴壁位移的临界电流密度的大小。理论研究表明,材料的自旋极化率越高,越有利于临界电流密度的降低。因此,在本项目中,我们将利用自身优势,致力于具有高度自旋极化率的单晶 Fe3O4磁畴壁存储器件中临界电流密度的研究,从实验角度来验证理论并探索降低临界电流密度的途径;而利用我们的单晶Fe3O4薄膜所独有的面内单轴磁各向异性来控制器件中的磁畴结构,也是本项目的另一个研究重点。期待我们的研究能够为推动数据存储技术从传统的"磁记录"向先进的"自旋存储"迈进贡献一份力量。

英文摘要: To overcome the disadvantages of the magnetic-field data writing, a so-called spin-transfer-torque (STT) writing technology has attracted great attention over the last few years. As a spin-dependent effect, the STT utilizes a spin-polarized current to alter the magnetization of a ferromagnet or to drive a domain wall motion, via transfer of angular momentum. One typical example of the STT applications is the current-induced domain wall motion (CIDWM) in single-layer magnetic nanostructures, where the magnetic domain wall is "de-pinned" and displaced by injecting current pulses. This demonstrates great potential for achieving fast, reproducible, and low-power data writing in nanoscale elements, in particular in the context of next-generation memory devices based on domain-wall propagation. To make a viable domain-wall memory (DWM) device, where the domain wall behave as a memory bit, one of the most important issues that need to be addressed is small threshold current density to drive the domain wall motion. According to the theoretical prediction, a reduction in the threshold current density may be realized when the current is highly polarized by utilizing magnetic materials with a high degree of spin polarization. From this aspect, magnetite (Fe3O4) is a good candidate, due to its high spin polarization of up t
