The central role of tilted anisotropy for field-free spin–orbit torque switching of perpendicular magnetization by Chen-Yu Hu, Wei-De Chen, Yan-Ting Liu, Chao-Chung Huang, Chi-Feng Pai

“…Abstract The discovery of efficient magnetization switching upon device activation by spin Hall effect (SHE)-induced spin–orbit torque (SOT) changed the course of magnetic random-access memory (MRAM) research and development. However, for electronic systems with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), the use of SOT is still hampered by the necessity of a longitudinal magnetic field to break magnetic symmetry and achieve deterministic switching. …”
