Electrical mutual switching in a noncollinear-antiferromagnetic–ferromagnetic heterostructure by Ju-Young Yoon, Yutaro Takeuchi, Ryota Takechi, Jiahao Han, Tomohiro Uchimura, Yuta Yamane, Shun Kanai, Jun’ichi Ieda, Hideo Ohno, Shunsuke Fukami

“…Using a noncollinear-antiferromagnetic/nonmagnetic/ferromagnetic Mn3Sn/Mo/CoFeB heterostructure at zero magnetic field, we show current-induced switching in the CoFeB layer due to the spin current polarized by the magnetic structure of the Mn3Sn; by properly tuning the driving current, the spin current from the CoFeB further reverses the magnetic orientation of the Mn3Sn, which determines the polarity of the subsequent switching of the CoFeB. …”
