报告摘要：

Thermally induced spin dynamics is one of the significant natures for efficient spin control. Here we introduce the two topics, the heat driven spin torque in magnetic tunnel junctions and the Brownian motion of magnetic skyrmion by thermal fluctuation.

Heat driven spin torque is important for efficient spin control. However, in general, the heat engine in nanoscale system is inefficient because of rapid heat dissipation [1]. The low interfacial thermal conductivity enables to suppress heat dissipation and to enhance the efficiency of heat driven spin torque. The film stack, buffer layer | CoFeB(2) reference layer | MgO(1.1) | FeB(1.7) free layer | MgO(1.0) | cap layer, was deposited on Si | SiO2 substrate (nm in thickness). The Fe|MgO interface has low thermal conductivity [2] which enhances the temperature increase in free layer. The magnetic anisotropy change due to the Joule heating is measured by spin-torque diode technique [3]. We characterized the magnitude of heat controlled magnetic anisotropy (HCMA) as ?5.3 μJ/Wm, which is corresponding to the voltage controlled magnetic anisotropy of -300 fJ/Vm [4].

Second topic is the skyrmion Brownian motion. The Brownian computing has been proposed as ultralow power consumption technology using a small amount of energy close to the thermodynamic limit [5]. Magnetic skyrmions are suitable for the Brownian computer because they act as Brownian particles in solid state materials and are electrically controllable and detectable at room temperature. However, the usual skyrmion circuits fabricated by etching of the ferromagnetic film decrease the demagnetization field stabilizing the skyrmions, and thus prevent their formation. In this study, a skyrmion Brownian circuit implemented in a continuous ferromagnetic film with patterned SiO2 capping to stabilize the skyrmion formation [6]. This technique enables the efficient control of skyrmion-based Brownian computers, as well as memory and logic devices.
